The ratio is 2:4:9, so we can consider the total parts we are dividing the total as 2+4+9 = 15.
Then, the first person receives 2/15, the second receives 4/15 and the third receives 9/15.
As the total is 75, we can calculate each part as:
[tex]\begin{gathered} p_1=75*\frac{2}{15}=10 \\ \\ p_2=75*\frac{4}{15}=20 \\ \\ p_3=75*\frac{9}{15}=45 \end{gathered}[/tex]Then, the largest share correspond to the third person and is $45.00.
Answer: $45.00
Find the y - intercept of the equation -7x - 5y = -140
Given -
-7x - 5y = -140
To Find -
The y-intercept of the equation =?
Step-by-Step Explanation -
The Y-intercept is a point where the graph of the equation cuts the y-axis.
At y-axis x = 0.
So, we know that at y-intercept x = 0
Put x = 0 in -7x - 5y = -140
= -7(0) - 5y = -140
= -5y = -140
= y = 140/4
y = 28
Final Answer -
The y-intercept of the equation = (0, 28)
Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
-7x-5y=-140
Y=4
Because 7 times 5 =35
140 divided by 35=4
5(4)=20
20 times 7=140. So y=4

What type of wording in a problem statement or description of a situation tells you that you have a rate of change?
There different types of wording that tells us that we have a rate of change.
For example, when talking about speed, or in general, when talking about any measure per unit of time (meters per second, gallons per minute, miles per hour) all these are rates of change.
Other example, not as common as the first one, is when the statement refers to a slope, which is in other words, a rate of change.
Similar to the first one, when the statement talks about amounts and/or growth over time, for example: On the first day the plant was 10 cm high, on the second day it was 15 cm high, on the fifth day...

Answer:
x = 61.9°
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's take a closer look at our triangle:
Since we're on a right triangle, we can say that:
[tex]\sin(x)=\frac{15}{17}[/tex]Solving for x,
[tex]\begin{gathered} \sin(x)=\frac{15}{17}\rightarrow x=\sin^{-1}(\frac{15}{17}) \\ \\ \Rightarrow x=61.9 \end{gathered}[/tex]Is (5, 1) a solution to the equation y = 1? yes no
Since the coordinates are written as (x,y), for the point (5,1) we have that:
[tex]\begin{gathered} x=5 \\ y=1 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, this is a solution to the equation y=1.
Then, the answer is yes.
Each of these is a pair of equivalent ratios for each pair explain why they are equivalent ratios or draw a diagram that shows why they are equivalent ratios 2:7 and 10,000:35,000
Given this pair of equivalent ratios:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 2:7 \\ \\ 10,000:35,0000 \end{gathered}[/tex]It is important to remember that equivalent ratios represent the same value, but they have different forms.
Equivalent ratios can be obtained by multiplying both parts of a ratio by a common number.
In this case, you can identify that:
[tex]2\cdot5,000=10,000[/tex][tex]7\cdot5,000=35,000[/tex]Therefore, both parts of the original ratio can be multiplied by 5,000 in order to get the other ratio.
Hence, the answer is: They are equivalent ratios because they have the same value when they are simplified, and the second ratio can be obtained by multiplying both parts of the first ratio by 5,000.

Need help solving this problem This is from my ACT prep guide
Answer:
[tex]h=101.7\text{ ft}[/tex]Step-by-step explanation:
To approach this situation, let's make a diagram of it;
To solve this problem we can use trigonometric relationships since there are right triangles involved; trigonometric relationships are represented as
[tex]\begin{gathered} \sin (\text{angle)}=\frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{ hypotenuse }} \\ \cos (\text{angle)}=\frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}} \\ \tan (\text{angle)}=\frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}} \end{gathered}[/tex]Then, since we can divide the neighbor building into two parts compounded by two right triangles, use the tan relationship for the 56 degrees triangle, and sin relationship for the 32 degrees triangle:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \tan (56)=\frac{h_1}{150_{}} \\ h_1=150\cdot\tan (56) \\ h_1=22.2\text{ ft} \\ \\ \sin (32)=\frac{h_2}{150} \\ h_2=150\cdot\sin (32) \\ h_2=79.5\text{ ft} \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence, for the total height of the building:
[tex]\begin{gathered} h=h_1+h_2 \\ h=22.2+79.5 \\ h=101.7\text{ ft} \end{gathered}[/tex]What do you notice about these two expressions? 4 50 8 + 15 50 8 + 7 15 1 They both show subtracting 2 4 They both show adding 3 50 8 They both contain the sum 7 15

Compare the functions f(x) = 20x² and g(x) = 4* by completing parts (a) and (b).(a) Fill in the table below. Note that the table is already filled in for x = 2.(The ALEKS calculator can be used to make computations easier.)f(x)=20x²g(x) = 4*(b) For x ≥ 5, the table suggests that f(x) is (Choose one) ✓ greater than g(x).I need help with this math problem.
ANSWERS
(a) Table:
(b) For x ≥ 5, the table suggests that f(x
EXPLANATION
(a) First, we have to fill in this table. To do so, we have to substitute x with each value from the first column for each function,
[tex]f(3)=20\cdot3^2=20\cdot9=180[/tex][tex]g\mleft(3\mright)=4^3=64[/tex]Repeat for all the other x-values,
(b) As we can see in the table, for x = 2, x = 3, and x = 4, f(x) is greater than g(x). But, for x = 5 and x = 6, f(x) is less than g(x).
Hence, for x ≥ 5, f(x) is never greater than g(x).

I need to know number 6SP please I need to find the mean
The mean absolute deviation is given by the next formula:
[tex]\text{MAD}=\frac{1}{n}\sum ^{\square}_i|x_i-\bar{x}|[/tex]Where n is the number of points in the data set and x with a bar on top is the mean.
In our case,
[tex]\bar{x}=\frac{1}{25}(5\cdot1+5\cdot2+4\cdot3+4\cdot4+6\cdot5+6\cdot1)=\frac{79}{25}[/tex]and n=25.
Then,
[tex]\text{MAD}=\frac{1}{25}(5|1-\frac{79}{25}|+5|2-\frac{79}{25}|+4|3-\frac{79}{25}|+4|4-\frac{79}{25}|+6|5-\frac{79}{25}|+|6-\frac{79}{25}|)[/tex]Finally,
[tex]\text{MAD}=\frac{862}{625}\approx1.4[/tex]The answer is 1.4 once rounded.
(0,2)-5The function g(x) = -3x - 6. Compare the slopes.A. The slope of f(x) is the same as the slope of g(x).B. The slope of f(x) is undefined, and the slope of g(x) is negative.Ο ΟC. The slope of f(x) is greater than the slope of g(x).D. The slope of f(x) is less than the slope of g(x).
To solve the exercise, first we are going to find the slope of the function f(x). Since we have a graph of the function, we can see two points through which the line passes:
[tex]\begin{gathered} (x_1,y_1)=(0,2) \\ (x_2,y_2)=(1,-1) \end{gathered}[/tex]Now we can use this formula to find the slope:
[tex]\begin{gathered} m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}} \\ \text{ Where m is the slope and} \\ (x_1,y_1)\text{ and }(x_2,y_2)\text{ are two points through which the line passes} \end{gathered}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} m_{f(x)}=\frac{-1-2}{1-0} \\ m_{f(x)}=\frac{-3}{1} \\ m_{f(x)}=-3 \end{gathered}[/tex]Then, the slope of the function f(x) is -3.
On the other hand, the function g(x) also describes a line and is written in slope-intercept form, that is:
[tex]\begin{gathered} y=mx+b\Rightarrow\text{ slope-intercept form} \\ \text{ Where m is the slope and} \\ b\text{ is the y-intercept of the line} \end{gathered}[/tex]Then, you can see that the slope of the function g(x) is -3, because
[tex]\begin{gathered} g(x)=-3x-6 \\ m_{g(x)}=-3 \\ \text{and} \\ b=-6 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the slope of f(x) is the same as the slope of g(x) and the correct answer is option A.

Samantha have six times as many fish in her aquarium as Lily. Lily and Samantha have 70 fishes together. how many fish does each girl have?
The problem indicates that Samantha has 6 times as many fish as Lily.
If we call the number of fishes that Lily has "x", then the number of fishes that Samantha has will be "6x".
Lily: x
Samantha: 6x
Now, since together they have 70 fishes, we need to add the two quantities (x and 6x) and equal them to 70:
[tex]x+6x=70[/tex]To solve this problem we need to solve this equation for x.
The first step is to add the like terms on the left of the equation:
[tex]7x=70[/tex]And then, divide both sides of the equation by 7:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{7x}{7}=\frac{70}{7} \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]As you can see 7 in the numerator and denominator on the left side cancel each other:
[tex]x=\frac{70}{7}[/tex]And on the right side, 70/7 is equal to 10:
[tex]x=10[/tex]Let's remember our initial definitions:
Lily: x
Samantha: 6x
Since we now know that x=10, we conclude that Lily has 10 fishes.
To calculate the amount that Samantha has multiply 6 by 10:
[tex]6x=6(10)=60[/tex]Samantha has 60 fishes.
Answer:
Lily: 10
Samantha: 60

[tex]\begin{gathered} 2\cdot(3z+2y)=2\cdot26\rightarrow6z+4y=52, \\ 3\cdot(2z+5y)=3\cdot32\rightarrow6z+15y=96. \end{gathered}[/tex]2) We subtract equation 1 to equation 2, and then we solve for y:
[tex]\begin{gathered} (6z+15y)-(6z+4y)=96-52, \\ 11y=44, \\ y=\frac{44}{11}=4. \end{gathered}[/tex]We found that y = 4.
3) We replace the value y = 4 in the first equation, and then we solve for z:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 3z+2\cdot4=26, \\ 3z+8=26, \\ 3z=26-8, \\ 3z=18, \\ z=\frac{18}{3}=6. \end{gathered}[/tex]Answer
The cost of the items are:
• z = 6, for items from shelf A,
,• y = 4, for items from shelf B.
