For what number of aerobics classes will the cost for members and nonmembers be the same?
Let x be the number of aerobics classes.
For members: Cost = $8 + $5x
For nonmembers: Cost = $6x
So, we need to find the value of x for which $8 + $5x = $6x.
$8 + $5x = $6x
$8 = $6x - $5x
$8 = $x
Therefore, for 8 aerobics classes, the cost will be the same for members and nonmembers.

The system of equations:
10y = -4x + 20
2x + 5y = 10
has one solution.
This can be determined since the system has two linear equations with two variables, which can be represented graphically as two lines that intersect at a unique point, representing the solution to the system.

Gabe Amodeo, a nuclear physicist, needs 50 liters of a 60% acid solution. He currently has a 20 % solution and a 70 % solution. How many liters of each does he need to make the needed 50 liters of 60% acid solution?

Let's represent the amount of 20% solution Gabe needs with x liters and the amount of 70% solution with y liters.
The total amount of the 60% acid solution needed is 50 liters.
We can set up the following system of equations based on the information given:
1. x + y = 50 (Total liters of solution)
2. 0.20x + 0.70y = 0.60(50) (Total acid content required)
Solving the system of equations:
From equation 1, we can express x in terms of y:
x = 50 - y
Substitute x = 50 - y into equation 2 and solve for y:
0.20(50 - y) + 0.70y = 0.60(50)
10 - 0.20y + 0.70y = 30
0.50y = 20
y = 40
Now, substitute y = 40 back into x = 50 - y to find x:
x = 50 - 40
x = 10
Therefore, Gabe needs 10 liters of the 20% solution and 40 liters of the 70% solution to make the needed 50 liters of 60% acid solution.

To find the possible dimensions of the rug, we need to factor the trinomial \(r^2 - 5r - 14\).
The factored form of the trinomial is \((r - 7)(r + 2)\).
Therefore, the possible dimensions of the rug are 7 by -2 or -7 by 2 (the negative values indicate that one of the dimensions can be negative, which may not make sense in a real-life scenario, but mathematically they are still valid factors). The length can be 7 or -7 and the width can be 2 or -2.

IS IT NEGATIVE OR POSITIVE?
5 months ago
I apologize for the oversight in the previous response. Let's correct that:
The factored form of the trinomial \( r^2 - 5r - 14 \) is \( (r - 7)(r + 2) \).
This means that the possible dimensions of the rug are 7 by -2. This is because the length would be \( r - 7 \) and the width would be \( r + 2 \), so the length can be 7 and the width can be -2.
