Answer:

The amount of wool required for a sweater was 400 grams.

A hat needed 80 grams of wool.

A scarf required 75 grams of wool.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ------> grams of wool necessary for a sweater

y -----> grams of wool necessary for a hat

z -----> grams of wool necessary for a scarf

From the information given

x+y+z=555 -----> equation A

y=x/5 ----> x=5y -----> equation B

y=z+5 ---> z=y-5 ----> equation C

By substituting equations B and C into equation A, we can solve for y:

(5y)+y+(y-5)=555

7y=560

y=80 grams

Now, find x

x=5(80)=400 grams

Next, determine z

z=80-5=75 grams

In conclusion,

400 grams of wool was required for the sweater,

the hat needed 80 grams of wool, and

the scarf required 75 grams of wool.

FV = P(1 + r/t)^nt, where P denotes the principal amount, r is the interest rate, t is the frequency of compounding per year, and n is the total number of years.

Calculating: FV = 7650(1 + 0.05/4)^(9 x 4) = 7650(1 + 0.0125)^36 = 7650(1.0125)^36 = 7650(1.564) = $11,964.17

a video game arcade offers a yearly membership with reduced rates for game play. A single membership costs $60 per year. Game to
PIT_PIT [3919]

The slope equals $0.10        (since $1.00 per 10 tokens translates to $0.10 per token)

The y-intercept is $60    (the fixed yearly membership fee)

The linear equation is y = 0.10x + 60    (following y = mx + b)  

The domain consists of all x values where x ≥ 0        (negative token quantities are impossible)

The range includes all y values with y ≥ 60        (plugging the domain values into the function)

The y-intercept of this function stands at $60

Leona [4166]

Answer:

For a clearer understanding, refer to the attached figure:

Step-by-step breakdown:

1. According to the unique line postulate, only one line segment can be created: BC

This is because a single line can only connect two distinct points.

2. Utilizing the definition of reflection, reflect BC across l.

To identify the line segment reflected over l, we will apply the reflection definition.

3. Based on the reflection definition, C remains as its own image and A represents the image of B.

The reflection definition states that a figure is transformed into a mirror image around a line. Thus, CD serves as the perpendicular bisector of AB, which makes A and B equidistant from D, producing their mirror images.

4. Because reflections maintain length, we find that AC = BC

In a reflection, the figure transforms to create a mirror image, ensuring the lengths remain unchanged.
