Answer:

n = 3

XY = 39

XZ = 39

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

XY = 9n + 12

XZ = 15n - 6

Solving for (a): n

To find n;

We will utilize

XY = XZ

Substituting values for XY and XZ

9n + 12 = 15n - 6

9n - 15n = -12 - 6

-6n = -18

Dividing by -6

n = 3

Solving for (b) XY

XY = 9n + 12

Substituting 3 for n

XY = 9 * 3 + 12

XY = 27 + 12

XY = 39

Solving for (c): XZ

XZ = XY

XZ = 39

How would you shade a model to show ten thousandths?
Zina [12379]
It’s challenging to demonstrate that on here unless I sketch a diagram for you... It’s important to recognize that 10 thousandths equates to 1 hundredth. If you draw a square measuring 100 by 100 centimeters on graph paper, it will include a thousand individual squares because 100 x 100 equals 1000, and if you shade 10 of those squares, that represents 10 thousandths.

Rate at which risk of down syndrome is changing is approximated by function r(x) = 0.004641x2 − 0.3012x + 4.9 (20 ≤ x ≤ 45) wher
zzz [12365]
The risk of down syndrome, in terms of the percentage of births per year, is changing at a rate given by the equation r(x) = 0.004641x² - 0.3012x + 4.9 for the range 20 ≤ x ≤ 45, where x signifies the maternal age at delivery. To derive the risk function as a percentage of births relative to maternal age x, we integrate r(x), leading to the function f(x) = 0.001547x³ - 0.1506x² + 4.9x + c. When x is 30, f evaluates to 0.14%. This means that 0.001547(30³) - 0.1506(30²) + 4.9(30) + c equals 0.14. Solving gives 41.769 - 135.54 + 147 + c = 0.14, which simplifies to c = -53.089. As a result, we establish that f(x) = 0.001547x³ - 0.1506x² + 4.9x - 53.089 for 20 ≤ x ≤ 45. The graph corresponding to this function is illustrated below.

A small town's phone numbers either begin 373 or 377. How many phone numbers are available?
babunello [11817]
There are a total of 20,000 available numbers. To ascertain how many phone numbers are available, the number of digits in each number must be known. Here, I will assume each number has 7 digits. This leads to the format starting with either 373XXXX or 377XXXX, where each X can be any digit from 0 to 9. This results in 10 options for each X. Therefore, there are 10×10×10×10 = 10,000 distinct phone numbers starting with 373 and another 10,000 with 377, totaling 20,000 numbers.

Sheri’s cab fare was $32, with a 20% gratuity and no taxes. Sheri wrote a check to the cab driver for $40.
zzz [12365]

Indeed, a fare of $40 is a fair charge for the cab ride.

Explanation

Sheri's cab fare totaled $32, with a gratuity rate of 20%.

The gratuity amount is: \$32* 20\% = \$32*0.20= \$6.40

Thus, the total cab fare including gratuity is: \$32+\$6.40 = \$38.40

Since Sheri issued a $40 check to the cab driver, it indicates she provided ($40 - $38.40) or an extra $1.60 to the cab driver. Consequently, the $40 payment is reasonable for the cab fare.
