Answer:

Part A:

x+y= 95

x = y+25

Part B: 35 minutes

Part C: No

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Part A:

Eric spends a total of 95 minutes daily playing basketball and volleyball combined.

x+y= 95

Where:

x =minutes Eric plays basketball

y = minutes he allocates to volleyball

He dedicates 25 minutes more to basketball compared to volleyball.

x = y+25

Equations are:

x+y= 95

x = y+25

  • Part B:

Substituting x=y+25 into the first equation yields:

(y+25) + y =95

Solving for y

y+25+y =95

25+2y=95

2y=95-25

2y=70

y = 70/2

y = 35 minutes

Part C: No

If x = 35

x+y= 95

35+y =95

y= 95-35

y = 60 minutes

Inserting y=60 into the other equation:

x = y+25

35 = 60+25

35 ≠85

The yearly income for an individual with an associate’s degree in 2001 was $53,166 and in 2003 it was $56,970. What is the ratio
Zina [12379]

Response:

8861: 9495

Detailed explanation:

The income ratio for the years 2001 to 2003:

53,166: 56,970

To simplify, divide both sides by 6:

8,861: 9,495

This can't be simplified further, so that is the final result!

8861: 9495

I hope this helps! Have a great day:)

Drag and drop an answer to each box to correctly complete the explanation for deriving the formula for the volume of a sphere.
lawyer [12517]
The formula for the volume of a sphere can be derived as follows. We will approach this through calculus, utilizing the concept of a solid of revolution; this is a three-dimensional shape formed by rotating a two-dimensional curve around a straight line (the axis of revolution) that lies within the same plane. From calculus, we know that we will generate a shape by rotating the specified circumference. Next, we isolate y and utilize certain limits for this integral.

The equation x2 – 1x – 90 = 0 has solutions {a, b}. What is a + b
PIT_PIT [12445]
X^2 - x - 90 =0
This quadratic equation is in the standard format ax^2+ bx + c
The total of the solutions can be found using -b/a (where a and b are the coefficients from the original equation, not the solutions)
The resulting answer is 1/1 = 1

Triangle QRS is a right triangle with the right angle at vertex R. The sum of m∠Q and m∠S must be equal to 45°. greater than 45°
AnnZ [12381]

Answer:

     The angles m∠Q and m∠S together equal 90°

Step-by-step explanation:

A right angle measures 90°.

The total measure of angles in a triangle sums to 180°.

This gives us:

m∠Q + m∠S + ∠R = 180°

m∠Q + m∠S + 90° = 180°

Rearranging yields:

m∠Q + m∠S = 180° - 90°

m∠Q + m∠S = 90°

to eliminate the y-terms and solve for x in the fewest steps, by which constants should the equations be multiplied? first equat
lawyer [12517]

Answer: To eliminate the y terms and solve for x with minimum steps, we should multiply the first equation by 9 and the second equation by -4.


Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Equation (1) 5x − 4y = 28

Equation (2) 3x - 9y = 30

To eliminate the y-terms and determine x in the fewest operations, it requires us to multiply equation (1) by 9 and equation (2) by -4 to have

9(5x − 4y) =9 (28) ⇒ 45x - 36y = 252

-4(3x - 9y) = -4(30) ⇒ -12x + 36y = -120

By adding both equations together, the y-term is eliminated, leading to 45x - 12x = 132

⇒ 33x = 132 ⇒ x = 4.
