 Equations/252629: 1. The sides of the quadrilateral are consecutive numbers. If the perimeter is 162, how long is each side?1 solutions Answer 184650 by jim_thompson5910(28595)   on 2009-12-29 20:29:24 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!Let x = length of first side. Since "The sides of the quadrilateral are consecutive numbers", this means that the side lengths are: x, x+1, x+2, and x+3. Also, because the perimeter is 162, we know that (just add up the four sides and set the sum equal to 162). Start with the given equation. Combine like terms on the left side. Subtract from both sides. Combine like terms on the right side. Divide both sides by to isolate . Reduce. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Answer: So the solution is giving the four sides to be: x = 39 x+1 = 40 x+2 = 41 x+3 = 42
 Equations/252631: the hypotenuse of a right triangle is 20 inches. one of the legs has a meadure of 16 inches. what is the measure of the other leg? the answer i got was not an option1 solutions Answer 184648 by jim_thompson5910(28595)   on 2009-12-29 20:26:55 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! We basically have this triangle set up: To find the unknown length, we need to use the Pythagorean Theorem. Remember, the Pythagorean Theorem is where "a" and "b" are the legs of a triangle and "c" is the hypotenuse. Since the legs are and this means that and Also, since the hypotenuse is , this means that . Start with the Pythagorean theorem. Plug in , , Square to get . Square to get . Subtract from both sides. Combine like terms. Take the square root of both sides. Note: only the positive square root is considered (since a negative length doesn't make sense). Simplify the square root. ================================================================ Answer: So the solution is which means that the measure of the remaining leg is 12 inches.

Start with the given equation. Subtract from both sides. Rearrange the terms. We can see that the equation has a slope and a y-intercept . Since parallel lines have equal slopes, this means that we know that the slope of the unknown parallel line is . Now let's use the point slope formula to find the equation of the parallel line by plugging in the slope and the coordinates of the given point . Start with the point slope formula Plug in , , and Distribute Multiply Add 4 to both sides. Combine like terms. So the equation of the line parallel to that goes through the point is . Here's a graph to visually verify our answer: Graph of the original equation (red) and the parallel line (green) through the point .
 Probability-and-statistics/252627: Can I please get some assistance with the formula for e. 2. U.S. Population by Region. The U.S. population by region (in millions) for selected years is given in the table. Find the probability that a U.S. resident selected at random satisfies the following: e.) What are the odds that a randomly selected U.S. resident in 2000 was not from the South? REGION 1995 1997 2000 Northwest 51.4 51.6 53.6 Midwest 61.8 62.5 64.4 South 91.8 94.2 100.2 West 57.7 59.4 63.2 TOTAL 262.7 267.7 281.4 Answer: 302 to 167 1 solutions Answer 184646 by jim_thompson5910(28595)   on 2009-12-29 20:06:39 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!Note: Because we're only concerned with the year 2000, we'll only draw values from the last column. To find the probability that you select a resident at random that is NOT in the south, simply note that probability that you select an individual that does live in the south is... P(Resident from the South) = Number of Residents Who Live in the South/Total US Residents = 100.2/281.4 = 0.35608 So the probability of choosing someone from the south is about 0.35608 (about a 35.6% chance). Since we want everything but residents from the South, just subtract this probability from 1 (ie 100%) to get: 1-0.35608 = 0.64392 So the probability of selecting a resident that is NOT from the South in the year 2000 is 0.64392 (which is about a 64.4% chance) Another way to do this is to add up all of the data values in the 2000 column that are NOT the south and divide them by the total 281.4
 absolute-value/252622: Solve the inequality and graph the solution set: |3k + 8| > -9 1 solutions Answer 184642 by jim_thompson5910(28595)   on 2009-12-29 19:15:10 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!Because the absolute value of any number is ALWAYS positive, this means that for any value of 'k'. So is ALWAYS true for any value of 'k'. So there are an infinite number of solutions. To graph the solution set, just shade the entire number line.
 absolute-value/252621: Find the absolute value: |3x+4|+11 = 4 1 solutions Answer 184640 by jim_thompson5910(28595)   on 2009-12-29 19:12:49 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Start with the given equation Subtract 11 from both sides. Since the expression is NEVER true (note: remember, the absolute value of any number is always positive), there are no solutions to Also, notice if we graph and (just set each side equal to y and graph), we get: Graph of (red) and (green) and we can see that the two graphs never intersect. So there are no solutions.
 Linear-systems/252604: There are 35 tickets to be sold for the dance. The number of tickets sold to seniors must be four times the number of tickets sold to juniors. please give me 2 linear equations and a solution. A diamond today costs 10$more than twice what it cost last year. The sum of the cost (last year and this year) is 2500$. What is the cost of last years diamond? i need 2 linear equations and a solution for this question also. THANK U SO MUCH! 1 solutions Answer 184609 by jim_thompson5910(28595)   on 2009-12-29 16:24:26 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!# 1 Let s = # of senior tickets and j = # of junior tickets Since there are 35 tickets in total, and we're assuming that only junior and senior tickets are sold, this means that . In other words, adding up the two totals will give you the grand total of 35. Also, because "The number of tickets sold to seniors must be four times the number of tickets sold to juniors", we know that . In English, the number of senior tickets 's' is 4 times the number of junior tickets 'j'. Start with the first equation. Plug in Combine like terms on the left side. Divide both sides by to isolate . Reduce. So there are 7 junior tickets. Go back to the second equation Plug in Multiply So there are 28 senior tickets. As a check, take note that 28 is indeed 4 times 7 AND 28+7=35. So we've met our conditions. ====================================================================== # 2 Let t = cost of diamond today and y = cost of diamond last year Since "A diamond today costs 10$more than twice what it cost last year", we can say that (ie double the cost from last year 'y' and add 10 to get the new cost today 't'). Also, because "The sum of the cost (last year and this year) is 2500$", we know that (just add up the two individual costs to get the grand total of $2500) Start with the second equation. Plug in Combine like terms on the left side. Subtract from both sides. Combine like terms on the right side. Divide both sides by to isolate . Reduce. So the cost of the diamond last year was$830. If you want to keep going then... Go back to the first equation Plug in Multiply Add So the cost of the diamond today is \$1670.
