what is the answer to 8x - 4y = 16

Answers

Answer:4.00000

Step-by-step explanation:

 Slope = 2

 x-intercept = -4/2 = -2

 y-intercept = 4/1 = 4.00000

Solve for y in terms of x, then plug it back into the equation. Once you isolate y you should get:
-4y = -8x + 16
y = 2x - 4

Plug this in for y into the original:
8x - 2(2x - 4) = 16
Solve for x to get x = 2
Solve for y now to get y = 0

Answer: w = 110°     x = 83°     y = 87°      z = 97°

Step-by-step explanation:

∠(x - 13) and ∠w form a linear pair so their sum is equal to 180°

x - 13 + w = 180        →     w = -x + 193

∠(x + 10) and ∠y form a linear pair so their sum is equal to 180°

x + 10 + y = 180        →    y = -x + 170

∠x  and ∠z form a linear pair so their sum is equal to 180°

x + z = 180             →    z = 180 - x

∠x and ∠y and ∠w are the angles of a triangle so their sum equals 180°

x + y + w = 180

x + (-x + 170) + (-x + 193) = 180                   Substitution

                       -x + 263 = 180                    Add Like Terms

w = -x + 193                     y = -x + 170                     z = 180 - x

w = -83 + 193                  y = -83 + 170                   z = 180 - 83

discussing factors affecting solubility​

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Solubility can be defined as the ability of a solute (could be solid, liquid or gas) to dissolve in a solvent in order to produce a solution. There are several factors affecting solubility which includes (basically four) temperature, polarity, surface area of solute particles and pressure of gases. Generally, an increase in temperature leads to an increase in the solubility of a solute in a solvent. This is because an increase in temperature will increase the average kinetic energy of molecules in the solution which leads to increase interaction between the solute and solvent particles. There is a general saying of "like dissolve like" when discussing polarity. For example, organic solvents are used to dissolve organic solutes (just as petrol is used to wash grease off hands and surfaces). Hence, when the solute and solvent have the same polarity, solubility occurs easily, otherwise solubility may be difficult or may not even occur. A reduced/smaller surface area of the solute leads to an increase in solubility as this makes it easy for the solute particles to interact easily with the solvent. In gases, an increase in pressure increases the interaction between the gaseous molecules of the solute and the solvent, thus leading to an increased solubility. Pressure does not affect solubility in solids and rarely in liquids.

Here, we are required to discuss factors affecting solubility.

Solubility is a property which is characteristic of a specific solute-solvent combination.As such, different solutes have differing solubilities in the same solvent.

Factors affecting solubility include:

Temperature; solubility of a solute in a solvent increases with increase in temperature and vice versa. However, the same cannot be said for a gases whose solubility decreases with increase in temperature.

Polarity is another factor that affects solubility. In which case, polar solutes dissolve in polar solvents while non-polar solutes dissolve in non-polar solvents. The phenomenon of polarity follows the "like dissolves like" principle.

However, it is important to note that pressure does not have effect on solubility. As such, the solubility of a solute-solvent combination is not affected by pressure.

The molecular size of the solutes also has an effect on the solubility. This is so because, the larger the molecular size of the solute, the more difficult it is for the solvent molecules to surround it during solubilization.

Increasing the surface area of a solute further increases the rate of solubilization and hence the solubility. Another way to enhance the solubility of a solute-solvent combination is by stirring to enhance solubility.

Here are her results:_______.
Month December January February March April
Days 16 11 16 18 19
She wants to use these results to carry out a x2 goodness-of-fit test to determine if the distribution of snowfalls in her hometown disagrees with the claimed percentages.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

We can compute the  null hypothesis & the alternative hypothesis as:

[tex]{H_o}:\text{Distribution of snowfalls in her hometown is similar to claimed percentage }[/tex]

[tex]{H_a}:\text{Distribution of snowfalls in her hometown is not similar to claimed percentage }[/tex]

The degree of freedom = n - 1

The degree of freedom = 5 - 1

The degree of freedom = 4

At the level of significance of 0.05 and degree of freedom 4,

the rejection region = 9.488

However, we can compute the chi-square X² goodness of fit test as:

   

months  frequency (p)  observed O Expected E  Chi-square [tex]X^2= \dfrac{(O-E)^2}{E}[/tex]

Dec          0.2                  16                   16                [tex]\dfrac{(16-16)^2}{16} =0[/tex]

Total            1.000           80                 80                                  8.3833    

The test statistics X² = 8.3833

Thus; we fail to reject the [tex]H_o[/tex] since test statistics X² doesn't fall in the rejection region.

Therefore; there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the distribution of snowfalls in her hometown is not similar to the claimed percentage.

Put that value for y into the second equation.

(x + 2) / (2x + 1) = 2/3              Cross multiply

A sphere has a diameter of 18 in. What is the volume of the sphere? (Use 3.14 for. Round the answer to two decimal
places.) Recall the Formula V=4/3pie r³ Show work.
Answer:

Answers

The sphere's volume with a diameter of 18 in. is 3052.08 in³.

We know that the volume of a sphere is:

[tex]V=\frac{4}{3}\pi\text{r}^{3}[/tex] --------- (i)

where V ⇒ Volume of the sphere

r ⇒ radius of the sphere

Now as per the question:

The diameter of the sphere, d = 18 in.

We know that the radius is half the diameter:

r = d/2 ---------- (ii)

Therefore, substituting the values in equation (ii),

r = 18/2

r = 9 in.

Use the value of the radius to find the Volume of the sphere:

Putting the values in equation (i),

[tex]\text{V}=\frac{4}{3} (3.14)(9)^{3}[/tex]

V = 3052.08 in³

Therefore, the volume of the sphere of diameter 18 in. rounded to two decimal places is 3052.08 in³.

(6):  The current is 2 miles per hour

(7):  20/3 hours

For (7), if your software allows you to use mixed numbers, you can write 6 2/3 instead of 20/3 if you prefer.

Step-by-step explanation:

(6) Finding the speed of the river's current:

Step 1: Calculate the effective speed upstream

When paddling upstream, Jeanette's speed relative to the ground is reduced by the speed of the river's current. So her effective speed upstream is (5 - c) miles per hour.

Step 2: Calculate the effective speed downstream

When paddling downstream, Jeanette's speed relative to the ground is increased by the speed of the river's current. So her effective speed downstream is (5 + c) miles per hour.

Step 3: Calculate the time taken to travel 18 miles upstream

Using the formula time = distance / speed, the time taken to travel 18 miles upstream is:

Time upstream = 18 / (5 - c) hours

Step 4: Calculate the time taken to travel 42 miles downstream

Using the same formula, the time taken to travel 42 miles downstream is:

Time downstream = 42 / (5 + c) hours

Step 5: Set up the equation based on the given information

According to the problem, the time taken upstream is equal to the time taken downstream. So we can set up the equation:

Time upstream = Time downstream

Step 6: Solve the equation

Substituting the expressions for time upstream and time downstream from steps 3 and 4 respectively, we have:

18 / (5 - c) = 42 / (5 + c)

Step 7: Cross-multiply and solve for 'c'

18(5 + c) = 42(5 - c)

90 + 18c = 210 - 42c

60c = 120

c = 2

Therefore, the speed of the river's current is 2 miles per hour.

(7) Finding the time it takes for Hannah and Destiny to paint the room simultaneously:

Step 1:

Let x be the number of hours it takes for both Hannah and Destiny to paint the room together.

Step 2:

In one hour, Hannah can paint 1/15 of the room, and Destiny can paint 1/12 of the room. The sum of their fractions will tell how much of the room they can paint in an hour:

(1/15) + (1/12) = (4/60) + (5/60) = 9/60 = 3/20

Thus, they can paint 3/20 of the room in one hour

Step 3:

Since they can paint 3/20 of the room in one hour, 1 represents the entire room being painted (technically 20/20 which reduces to 1/1 or just 1).

Thus, we can create a proportion to determine how many hours it will take for them to paint the entire room:

3/20 painted / 1 hour = 1 painted / x hours

(3/20) / 1 = 1 / x

(3/20 = 1/x) * x

(3/20x = 1) / 3/20

x = 1 * 20/3

x = 20/3

Thus, it would 20/3 hours (about 6.67 hours) for the pair to paint the room while working together.

Answer:

  6.  2 mph

  7.  6 2/3 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the speed of a river's current if it takes a kayak paddling 5 mph the same time for 18 miles upstream as for 42 miles downstream. You want to know the "working together" time for Hannah and Destiny if they can paint a room in 15 and 12 hours, respectively, working alone.

Rate

These are rate problems. The general relation involved is ...

  rate = quantity / time

This equation can be rearranged to give you quantity or time, as you may need.

For the river current problem, the quantity is miles, and the time is hours. The rate (no surprise here) is miles per hour.

For the painting problem, the quantity is painted rooms, and the time is hours. The rate is given by its inverse: hours per painted room. You can only add rates expressed as quantity/time, so the given hours per room will need to be inverted to give rooms per hour.

6. Current

The speed upstream is 5-c, and the distance is 18 miles, so the time is ...

  18/(5 -c)

The speed downstream is 5+c, and the distance is 42 miles, so the time is ...

  42/(5 +c)

These times are said to be the same, so we have ...

  18/(5 -c) = 42/(5 +c)

Multiplying by (5-c)(5+c)/6, we have ...

  3(5 +c) = 7(5 -c)

  15 +3c = 35 -7c . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  10c = 20 . . . . . . . . . . . add 7c-15

  c = 2 . . . . . . . . . divide by 2

The current is 2 miles per hour.

7. Painting

Hannah's rate of painting rooms is ...

  (1 room)/(15 hours) = 1/15 room/hour

Destiny's rate of painting rooms is ...

  (1 room)/(12 hours) = 1/12 room/hour

These rates add when they work together:

  (1/15 room/hour) +(1/12 room/hour) = (12 +15)/(12×15) room/hour

  = 3/20 room/hour

Then the time it takes to paint 1 room is ...

  time = quantity/rate

  (1 room)/(3/20 room/hour) = 20/3 hour = 6 2/3 hour

Working together it take the two painters 6 2/3 hours to paint the room.

Finding the solution set

Answers

it’s 16. you can simply do 20-4 (:

Answer:

x = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the answer because:

1) First, minus 4 from +4 and 20

+4 - 4 = 0

20 - 4 = 16

2) Now, you are left with x = 16

Therefore, the answer is x = 16. You can also check by adding 16 + 4 which equals to 20. This is how you solve for the variable by using addition property of equality.

Hope this helps! :D

Ethics In Sports You are the general manager for a minor league baseball team and your star player just tested positive for Performance Enhancing Drugs (PEDs). In this scenario the league does not stipulate that a player should be banned from playing if they test positive for PED, that decision is only made by the individual teams. The fan base and the rest of the players are divided on whether they think the player should be banned. The team is currently battling for a playoff spot, and if they qualify for the playoffs the financial benefit for the team would be very significant. As a general manager it is your duty to make sure the team is financially sustainable, however if you ban your star player the team's chances of making the playoff is significantly decreased. As the general manager it is your decision whether or not the player gets banned. In this scenario: 1. What decision would you make? Would you ban your star player or not? Explain Why 2.
