From the details we know that
a equals 3m
j is 2a
j plus a plus m equals 840

Since we have our variable values, we can start substituting them in:
2a plus 3m plus m equals 840
2 times 3m plus 3m plus m equals 840
6m plus 3m plus m equals 840
10m equals 840
m equals 84

A equals 3 times 84
a equals 252
therefore, the amount of apples Andre picked is pounds.

The attached graph shows the moment when his catch surfaced at (35, 0). Given that it ascends consistently, the graph is linear. We need to establish the starting depth before he reeled it in. Using the equation d=rt, where d represents depth, r is the speed, and t is the time, we can find the distance traveled to reach the surface. Setting up the equation yields: d = 0.1(35). This indicates the catch traveled 3.5 m from a starting point of 3.5 m underwater, ascending at a rate of 0.1 m per second.

P=100a÷t solve for a
tester [8842]

a=1/100pt is the right solution. Initially, you need to multiply both sides of the equation by t, which results in ⇒ pt=100a. After that, inverting the equation gives ⇒100a=pt. Alternatively, dividing both sides of the equation by one hundred (100) also leads us to \frac{100a}{100}=\frac{pt}{100}. Ultimately, the final answer is a=1/100pt is the result. I hope this offers assistance! Thank you for asking your question, and enjoy your day. -Charlie

Alejandro made an error in the steps below when determining the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line 4x – 3y =
Svet_ta [9500]
The equation of the perpendicular line can be identified by determining its slope and applying the given point within the standard formula.

Standard equation: y-y1 = m(x-x1)

m*m'=-1
where m' indicates the slope of the perpendicular line
m denotes the slope of the original line

m = -coefficient of x/coefficient of y = -4/-3 = 4/3
m' = -3/4

Substituting the point (3, -2):
y+2 = -3/4*(x-3)
4y+8 = -3x+9

Thus, the equation of the perpendicular line is: 3x+4y-1=0

105,159 rounded to the nearest ten thousand
Svet_ta [9500]

In this problem the number we are working with is:

105,159

By definition we note:

thousand place: a five-digit quantity greater than zero.

Moreover, the rounding rule is:

if the digit being removed is 5 or more, increase the kept digit by one.

Therefore, rounding to the nearest ten thousand yields:

105,159 = 110,000

Answer:

105,159 rounded to the nearest ten thousand is:

105,159 = 110,000
