Answers

Answer 1

Answer:Bb 12. Cyborg 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Right for my test

Answer 2

The required number of items purchased by the beast boy is 4 and by Cyborg is 2.5.


Given that,
At a bargain store beast boy bought 5 items that each cost the same amount. Cyborg bought 8 items that each cost the same amount, but each was $1.50 less than the items beast boy bought. Both beast boy and Cyborg paid the same amount of money.

What is simplification?

The process in mathematics to operate and interpret the function to make the function or expression simple or more understandable is called simplifying and the process is called simplification.

Let the cost of the item bought by the beast boy is x, and the item bought by the Cyborg be y,
According to the question,
5x = 8y
x = 8/5y  - - - - - - -(1)
y = x - 1.50  - - - - - -(2)
Substitute the value of equation 1 to equation 2
y = 8/5y - 1.50
5y = 8y - 7.50
7.50 = 3y
y = 2.5
Now, put y in equation 1
x = 8 / 5 × 2.5
x = 8 × 0.5
x = 4
Now, the costs,
5x = 4 × 5 = $20
8y = 8 × 2.5 = $20

Thus, the required number of items purchased by the beast boy is 4 and by Cyborg is 2.5.

x=12

Triangle abc and Def are congruent but different sizes. The original triangle has side values of 2, 6 and 5. Then the shape is dilated by an unknown factor, giving it the side lengths of 4, x, and 10. Looking at the increase in side lengths we see that theres an increase of 2 to 4, or multiplying by 2 and an increase from 5 to 10, or multiplying by to. So now that we know there was a dilation of 2, we multiply 6 by 2 to find 12

There are 8 flowers.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have the 3 you filled in correct. Since there are 12 flowers, and we know that there are only two colors, once we know one color we can figure the other one out. We are told that there are 4 pink flowers. Since we know there are 4 pink flowers, we can do subtraction to find how many red flowers there are. 12-8=4. You begin with 12, then count back 4. 11, 10, 9, and then 8. This is how you find the answer. I hope this helps!

So, 100 fish taken from Lake A would have a mean length of 50 cm and 100 fish taken from Lake B would have a mean length of 140 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

1 fish from Lake A would be 0.5 cm long you calculate that by dividing 70 from 35 and you calculate the fish from Lake B by dividing 30 from 42 which would be 1.4 cm, (english is not my first language so I hope you understood everything :D)

Step-by-step explanation:

the negatives cancel each other out therefore 1.02*4= 4.08

When we Evaluate. [tex]0 / -1 * 0^2 * -4[/tex] the values is 0. To evaluate the expression, follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS):

P - Parentheses/Brackets

E - Exponents/Orders

MD - Multiplication and Division (from left to right)

AS - Addition and Subtraction (from left to right)

The expression is: [tex]0 / -1 * 0^2 * -4[/tex]

Step 1: Exponents/Orders

0^2 = 0 (Any number raised to the power of 0 is always 0).

Step 2: Division

0 / -1 = 0 (Any number divided by 0 is undefined, but in this case, it would be 0).

Step 3: Multiplication : 0 * 0 * -4 = 0
