A girl and a dog are playing tug of war with a piece of rope. The girl pulls on the rope with a force of 165 newtons (N) towards the east, and the dog pulls with a force of 190 N towards the west. What is the net force on the rope?

Here we collect like terms together and solve for the unknown value of x.

7x-6=3x-26

Add 6 to both sides of the equation

7x-6+6=3x-26+6

7x=3x-20

Subtract 3x from both sides of the equation

7x-3x=-20

4x=-20

Divide both sides by 4

4x/-4=-20/4

x = -5

The value of x = -5

We can interpret ‘cannot exceed” as less than ‘<’. Therefore, in our inequality, the symbol < must be included. Now let’s convert the word problem into a mathematical inequality.

Money spent on supplies=s

Money spent on textbooks=t

Total money spent=money spent on supplies + money spent on textbooks

Total money spent = s+t

But the money spent cannot exceed $12,000. Then,

s+t <$12,000.
However the money spent can still be equal to $12000, as it has not exceeded it.

Therefore, therequired inequality is s + t <= $12,000.

In this problem, we take the triangle as a right-angled triangle and label it as follows:

From the Pythagoras theorem A2 + B2= C2, we can look for a combination of A and B that when the squares of A and B are summed give a square of 13.  Mathematically,

But C=13 inches

If we take A=5 inches and B=12 inches, then

Next, we take A=2.5 inches, B=6 inches

Next, we take A=2.5 inches, B=4 inches

6.25+16=169

22.25≠169

Taking A=5 inches and B=8 inches

From the above computation, the combination of A=5 inches and B=12 inches give a triangle with a hypothenuse of 13 inches.

Looking at the given trend, it is observed that the price increases with years. From 2008 to 2012, the price is fairly constant but we expect it to be more than $130,000 in the year 2016. The expected price in 2016 is $140,000.

In the simple interest, we utilize the following formula to find the simple interest after a period of time in years.

I=P*r*t

I is the interest

P=Principal or initial deposit

r=rate

t=time in years

From the given problem, P=$600, r=6%=6/100=0.06, t=5 years. Then

I=$600*0.06*5=$180

After 5 years, Pat will earn an interest of $180.

When dividing fractions, the division sign is changed into multiply sign and the first fraction is multiplied by the inverse of the second fraction.

Change division to multiply sign and find invers of 5/8. The inverse of a fraction is inverting the given fraction. The denominator becomes the numerator and the numerator becomes the denominator.

A whole pizza is equivalent to 1. Then

One friend eats half of the pizza=1/2 of 1=1/2*1=1/2

Remaining amount of pizza to be shared=1-1/2=2/2-1/2=1/2

Now, three friends share ½ equally and each friend will get,

Thus, the three friends each share 1/6.

We are given a mix of fractions and decimals and to compare the numbers, we convert the given decimals to fractions.

4.4 becomes 44/10

4.25 becomes 425/100

Now the set of fractions for comparison are: 9/2, 10/3, 44/10, and 425/100. The least common denominator for 2, 3 and 10 is 300. Then,

9/2*300=1350

10/3*300=1000

44/10*300=1320

425/10*300=1275

From the above products, 9/2 gives the greatest value when the fractions are compared with the least common denominator of the given denominators.

The whole pie chart represents 100%, which we use together with the given percentages to find the respective different sports. Note that 100% is equal to 500 surveyed students. The, the number of teenagers who prefer:

Soccer

Hockey

Football

Basketball

Other

From the evaluations above, 90 teenagers love soccer, 80 love hockey, 190 teenagers love football, 120 teenagers love basketball, and 20 teenagers love others.

Here we are required to find the area of the square of sides 3.1 m. The square is a four-sided figure with each side equal and opposite sides making 90 degrees.

Area of the square =side*side

Side=3.1 m

Area of the square =3.1 m *3.1 m=9.61 m2

Note: 3.1 + 3.1 = 6.2 which is a wrong answer.
