Brianna's teacher asks her which of these three expressions are equivalent to each other. Expression A: 9x - 3x - 4 Expression B

: 12x - 4 Expression C: 5x + x - 4 Brianna says that all three expressions are equivalent because the value of each one is - 4 when x = 0. Brianna's thinking is incorrect. Identify the error in Brianna's thinking. Determine which of the three expressions are equivalent. Explain or show your process in determining which expressions are equivalent in the space provided.

Two planes A and B can each fly through still air at 550 mph. The distance from Paris to Los Angeles is 5000 miles. Wind blows f
PIT_PIT [12445]

Answer:2688.63 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The distance from Paris to Los Angeles d=5000 miles

Wind traveling at 100 mph from Los Angeles to Paris

The velocity of the plane through still air is v=550 mph

Relative velocity of Plane A is v_a=550-100 =450 mph since Plane A is heading against the wind

Relative velocity of Plane B is v_b=550+100=650 mph

Plane A departs at noon

Distance covered by Plane A in 1 hour =450\times 1=450 miles

The total separation distance between the planes is 5000-450=4550 miles

Assuming they meet after t hours

Distance covered by Plane B in that time frame =v_b\times t=650\times t

Distance traveled by Plane A in t hours is =v_a\times t=450 t

The total distance equals 4550 miles

4550=650t+450t

t=\frac{4550}{1100}

t=4.13 hr

Distance traveled by B is =650\times 4.136=2688.63 miles

thus, they meet at a point 2688.63 miles away from Los Angeles.

Laura is the fund-raising manager for a local charity. She is ordering caps for an upcoming charity walk. The company that makes
Zina [12379]

Let x represent the number of caps

cost per cap = $6

cost for x caps = 6x

shipping charge = $25

overall budget = $1000

We can set up the following inequality:

Because the total amount cannot exceed 1000, we have

25 + 6x ≤ 1000

6x ≤ 975

x ≤ 162.5

rounding,

x ≤ 163

This means she can purchase a maximum of 163 caps.

Your job is to sort and sack marbles for sale. A bag contains 44 marbles, some red and some green. If there are 11 red marbles,
AnnZ [12381]

Response:

The correct choice is option C

The proportion of green marbles to red marbles is 3: 1

Step-by-step breakdown:

According to the problem statement:

A bag holds 44 marbles, comprising both red and green ones.

⇒Total marbles = 44

If it includes 11 red marbles.

Then;

Green marbles = Total marbles - red marbles.

By substituting the values provided,

Green marbles = 44 - 11 = 33

We are tasked with determining the ratio of green marbles to red marbles.

\frac{\text{Green marbles}}{\text{Red marbles}} = \frac{33}{11} = \frac{3}{1} = 3: 1

Consequently, the ratio of green to red marbles is 3: 1

In triangle $abc$, $m\angle a = 90^\circ$, $m\angle b = 75^\circ$, and $bc = \sqrt {3}$ units. what is the area of triangle $abc
Inessa [12570]
Given the specified angles, one is 90 degrees, indicating that the triangle is a right triangle. With provided angles and one side representing the hypotenuse (the longest side), the area is determined using the formula: Area = 1/2 * base * height. Let's compute the height and base:

From sin 75, we derive height = 1.67.
And from cos 75, we obtain base = 0.45.

Calculating area gives us Area = (0.45 * 1.67) / 2, resulting in 0.37 square units.

Thus, the triangle's area is approximately 0.37 square units.

tester [12383]

Response:

2/9 = 0.22

Clarification:

There are two ways to select the first number that is odd and less than 5: 1 and 3.

For each of these, the second number drawn can be any of the values from 1 to 9, giving us a total of 18 options.

Out of these, the only pairs that result in a sum less than 5 are (1,1), (1,2), (1,3), and (3,1). Thus we have 4 combinations from the total of 18:

4/18 = 2/9 = 0.22
