Resolved Question: 05.14 HONORS Word Problems?
i am having a lot of trouble with this. if anybody had FLVS alg1 and still has this document i will owe you forever, if you wanna try to take a crack at a problem or two i would also love you for ever, please and thank you.

1. Sunset rents an SUV at $21.95 plus $0.23 per mile. Sunrise rents the same vehicle for $24.95 plus $0.19 per mile. For what mileage is the cost the same?

Hint: Using “m” for miles, write one equation for each rental company. Then solve the system by one of the methods learned in assignment 5.6 or 5.7.
2. Six pears and three apples cost $3.90. Two pears and five apples cost $3.30. How much does one pear cost?

Hint: You have two unknowns (variables), so you need two equations. Write one equation for each situation and solve the system of equations.

3. Taylin has eighty-one coins in her purse. She only carries dimes and nickels. The value of her collection is $5.70. How many dimes does she have? (I know you can figure this out by trial and error, but you must write the equations and solve.)

Hint: You have two unknowns: “d” for dimes and “n” for nickels. You need two equations. Write one equation for the number of coins that you have and a second equation for the value of the coins. (An unknown number of nickels would have the value of .05n.)

4. Two cars leave town going in the same direction. One travels 55 mph and the other travels 65 mph How long will it take before they are 180 miles apart?

Hint: We know that one car is 180 miles ahead of the other, so the slow car’s distance can be represented by “d” and the distance of the fast car, which would be ahead, can be represented by “d + 180.” The time is the same, and can be represented by “t”. We have two unknowns, so we need two equations, one for the fast car, and one for the slow car. We are using the basic formula d = rt , and substituting the values that are relevant to our situation. The equation for the slow car is: d = 55t. You write the equation for the fast car, and solve the system by substitution. Don’t forget the units in your answer.

car rate equals 65 mph, other car rate equals 55 mph, distance plus 180 miles, d equals rt

5. A kayaker paddled 2 hours with a 6 mph current in a river. The return trip against the same current took 3 hours. Find the speed the kayaker would make in still water.

paddling upstream against 6 mph current; boat moving downstream with 6 mph current

How do I solve this problem? The distance is the same both upstream and downstream and can be represented by “d.” The rate is tricky. The trip downstream (with the current) is faster than the upstream trip (against the current). We don’t know the speed the kayaker makes in still water, so we can represent that with “r.”

We do know that going with the current will add 6mph to this rate (r + 6), and going against the current will subtract 6mph from his rate (r – 6). Now we can write two equations (we have two unknowns). Using d = rt again, the equation upstream is: d = (r – 6)3. You write the equation for the equation downstream, and solve the system. Don’t forget the units in your answer.

6. Your piggy bank has 25 coins in it; some are quarters and some are nickels. You have $3.45. How many quarters and nickels do you have? (I know you can figure this out by trial and error, but you must write the equations and solve.)

Hint: You have two unknowns: “q” for quarters and “n” for nickels. You need two equations. Write one equation for the number of coins that you have and a second equation for the value of the coins. (An unknown number of nickels would have the value of .05n.)

adult ticket is 3 dollars and 50 cents

7. There were 1500 people at a high school football game. Student tickets were $2.00 and adult tickets were $3.50. The total receipts for the game were $3825. How many adult and student tickets were sold?

Hint: Again two equations for two unknowns. Write one for the number of tickets and one for the value of the tickets. You’re on your own this time.

a student ticket is 2 dollars and 0 cents

8. An airplane flew 4 hours with a 25 mph tail wind. The return trip against the same wind took 5 hours. Find the speed of the airplane in still air.

Look for a similar problem in this assignment if you need a hint.

Resolved Question: Any travel advice for my June trip to Alaska?
Dave in Kenai gave good advice last year and anyone else is welcome to chip in.
I’m taking my 70 year old mom to AK in June, she just retired from a pretty physical. I was in AK in 2003.
I’ve got the air tickets. It might be possible to tweak travel days but for now:
Arrive ANC Mon 1230 AM, pick up rental car, go sleep.

The next travel date is Saturday 1 PM leave ANC; 7PM arv Barrow; stay 23 hrs; leave for NYC Sun 6:20 PM.
My wants:
trip to Denali national park for 1.5-2 days.
1.5 days in Seward for the fjord tour (Last time I was in Seward our boat turned back due to ocean waves- I really want to see a good fjord tour. I’ve considered going to Valdez instead and will keep it as a back-up just in case)
Orig planned on drive to Fairbanks/Chena Hot Springs on route to Arctic Circle but with the flight to BRW, the long trip north seems pointless.

When you are apartment searching in Fresno CA, set up a rental search plan. Be sure to identify in advance what you want in an apartment and what you can live without. Choose in advance what areas of the city you can consider living in and make a list of apartment buildings within that perimeter.

Make sure to consider how far away and how expedient it will be for you to trek to your work or your school or your family and friends. In addition, how far is the apartment from stores, banks, hospitals, Church (if you attend) etc. If you own a car, be certain that there is ample and expedient parking space. If you don’t drive make sure that there is a bus stop nearby.

Limit your apartment hunt to the size of rental unit you require. Studio apartment or one bedroom apartment or 2 BR apartment or more. Are you thinking about a furnished apartment or do you need a short term rental? If you are renting an apartment with a cat, dog, or other pet, you need to find out which apartments allow renting with pets and which do not. And, if they do allow pets, is there an additional security deposit required and if so, how much is it? Do you need an apartment complex with an exercise room or tennis courts or a pool or a recreation room, etc. Do you just want a nice and clean pad.

Be practical about what you can afford. Most apartment renting guides suggest that your rent should not be more than 25% to 30% of your income. This can be different depending on the income bracket, but be sure to be real when budgeting additional apartment expenses such as heating and air conditioning and other utilities. If you fall short of affording the apartment of your choice, you might think about sharing an apartment with a roommate or roommates. Keep in mind that living with roommates can help you come up with the money for an upscale apartment or even, in some cases, luxury apartments, but it also has extreme restrictions to your privacy.

If you are familiar with the area and its neighborhoods, that gives you a distinct advantage for your apartment search. If, on the other hand, you are relocating to a new town or are not very knowledgeable about the city, you may want to get in touch with an Apartment Locator or an Apartment Finder.

Once you narrow down your search for apartments down to apts which go well with your wants and desires you ought to be well organized and well prepared for your visits to the apartment complexes. While inspecting the rental premises be on the watch for hazardous conditions, excessive noise from traffic or playgrounds or neighbors. Visit the apartment building at night as well as the daytime hours. This will give you a more comprehensive understanding of the total space you will be residing in.

When you find the apartment complex that meets your renting needs and desires, you ought to be ready to put your best foot forward when you meet the apartment’s rental agent. This person may be the apartment building manager or a renting agent for the apts. You ought to get ready for this apartment renting meeting in a professional and intelligent manner. Be advised that you are going to be asked to provide proof that you are a reliable prospective tenant. You are most likely going to need references from previous landlords. You may also be required to prove that you are gainfully employed and can pay for the rent. Many landlords might require a credit report. If you are a first time renter and/or you have limited credit history you may be asked for references from family, associates, employer, professionals, etc. Similarly if you are renting with bad credit you will definitely want to come to the meeting with a solid selection of references.

You are not automatically restricted from apartment renting with less than perfect credit, but you might be required to put up an extra security deposit and probably have a credit worthy person co-sign the apartment lease with you. Do not be unprepared for any of these requests. Be sure to fill out a 100% accurate apartment rental application and come to the interview with references, proof of employment, credit information and any other renting resources at the ready. If you do have a credit history or renting history that might be detrimental, going through an apartment locator or apartment finder may be the best answer. They will present your history to the landlord for you, (make sure they are 100% truthful about it) and they can also be very helpful and save you a lot of time because they most likely will know which landlords and apartments are more lenient in these circumstances. They can also advise you as to exactly what kinds of references and documents you might need to attest that you can be a good renter.

You Have Discovered Your Ideal Apartment

As soon as you have located your ideal apartment, or as close to your ideal apartment as possible, now it is necessary to pay extremely close attention to the facts of the rental agreement. An Apartment Lease is a contract between you and the landlord. Once agreed upon and signed by the tenant and the landlord, the rental lease creates obligations and limitations for both parties. The most noticeable covenants of the apartment lease are the length of the rental, (Six month lease, one year lease, two year lease, etc.) The amount of the security deposit, when the rent is due, who is responsible for what utilities. Also in that apartment lease, though, are provisions, (sometimes in small print) that can involve a great assortment of landlord and tenant obligations and limitations.

They can include, but are not limited to, the following:

* Maintenance of the apartment * Care of the premises * Sanitation * Insurance * Governmental regulations * Eminent Domain * Annoyance and noise clauses * Terms as to the situation whereby the landlord can come into the premises * Use of Common Areas * Keys and locks * Loss or damage * Parking * Pets * Plumbing * What the manager may do if the rent is late * What the resident can do to bring the rent current before any kind of action might be started * Non performance or violation of the contract by the renter * Renter’s penalties in the event of early termination * Conditions which might cause the occupant or the manager to break the lease agreement prior to the end of the term * Heat and other utilities * Removal of property * Surrender or Non-Surrender of the premises * Waivers of a range of obligations * Forbidden reprisals * Garbage disposal * Recyclables

Potential tenants should read an Apartment lease completely. Prospective apartment tenants must understand everything that is contained in that lease agreement and make an informed decision to be 100% accepting of all the provisions for both the tenant and the manager, that you are confident that you can live up to your end of the bargain and that you are at ease with the requirements on the landlord’s side.

If you do not understand every single section of that apartment lease then do not sign it until you do understand it. If needed and if possible, request assistance in interpreting the lease from a trusted source such as a knowledgeable friend or family member or employer or professional, or anyone else who can understand it and explain it to you. If needed get legal advice. It can cost additional funds if you do not meet the criteria for free legal assistance, but that additional cost might save you a ton of money and save you a lot of anguish and frustration down the road.

If you do not agree with any of the provisions of that apartment lease and/or you feel that you can’t live up to the tenant’s obligations, or if you are not in agreement with any of the landlord’s rights under the agreement, then do not sign the lease until/or unless it can be changed to your agreement. If the apartment rental agreement cannot be amended to meet your needs and desires and comfort level then do not sign the lease and do not rent that apartment. The Apartment Rental agreement that you sign as a prospective resident will not change once you become the actual tenant of that apartment.

Good fortune in your Fresno apartment search and good luck in your new apartment.

The most popular reason most people need to get a loan is when purchasing a home. The majority of the people are not experienced an require a great deal of assistance. This is when a chosen and trusted loan officer should be talked with.

Otherwise known as a bond originator, this person will assist with finding a reasonable bank, with low interest rates. Also these professionals will make sure the payment will be feasible. Interest rates are also added into the tally, to find out if the home is affordable.

The more help you get when presenting your request to a loan officer the better. The loan officer wants to give you the loan, without a shadow of a doubt the debt will be repaid. This is when a bond originator can go to bat for you, because he/she already is educated on the process.

When you hire a professional to handle the paperwork, assess and correspond with your loan status, and answer questions for you, this lessens the amount of hassle involved individually when trying to buy a home. These services are free to the public.

Keep in mind a bank is out to make money. If a buyer that no one in the bank has ever seen before walks in and requests a hundred thousand dollar loan for a first time home loan. The bank is going to come up with every excuse in the book, as to why they can?t fund it. Using a bank originator as a mediator will save you from losing money, and time while usually obtaining the loan.

The reason why most loans get approved when processed by a loan originator is because he/she will provide your application to as many financial institutes capable of providing the funds. Then you can take the feedback, analyze it, and select the bank you want to finance your home.

Make sure when you choose a bond originator you choose a reputable one. A good one will take all the headaches away from the buyer and make it so much easier to buy a home. Good luck.

Phoenix solar panels should be a common feature on most homes. Solar energy is a great technology. Generating electricity from the sun, what a concept? Where in the United States would there be more sun than in a desert state?

The idea of solar panels is to capture the sun’s energy to feed electricity to your home. In other states that would be fantastic during the summer months, your electricity bill would be lower and you would be earning electricity credits from your utility company. Then when the winter hits and you need to crank up your heating system those credits come into play to balance out your winter bills.

When I think of Phoenix, I imagine a scorching sun beating down on dry, cracked terrain. If this is the case then people in Phoenix should never have to buy electricity, wouldn’t you think? However there are very few homes in Phoenix that have installed solar panels on their homes.

Tax credits are being offered by the government to get people on board with green energy. However that is not enough incentive due to the high cost of the panels even with the credits. The normal household cannot come up with that kind of money in hopes of making it back over the years in lower electrical costs. The ones benefiting from this technology are the large companies.

There are different beliefs about these panels. They are not maintenance free as solar companies would have you believe. Also they tend to crack over time. Some say that they work better in cooler sunnier climates than in scorching hot ones.

Arizona has renewable energy requirements that are not being met. The utility companies have come up with an idea to give away free solar panels to a couple hundred customers to meet these requirements. They are hopeful that the feedback from this promotion will be positive and more of their customers will want to move forward on their purchases.

Buying a new home is never an easy process. However, there are ample of resources available today to help you make your process as easy and enjoyable as possible. All you need to do is follow a basic set of essential guidelines, and you can ensure stress free home buying.

Pre-qualification is an important first step. Waiting for this until after you have chosen your dream home is not a wise idea because being pre-qualified ensures your offer to be immediate and sure. Real estate attorneys should be employed as they can help you understand the terms and conditions of buying a new home. They can also make help explain about the different mortgage and insurance plans such that a good mortgage reduction plan is chosen which can save you a lot of money and reduce your loan term.

Consider whether you will be buying the home on your own, or enlisting the help of a professional real estate agent. Buying a home on your own can save you substantial fees, but it is also going to put the work on you so being as organized as possible will definitely make less hassle of the task at hand.

Decide what type of environment you wish to live in. From rural areas to suburbs, each have their own unique benefits and should be selected based on your needs and reason for buying the home either for re sale or whether you’re planning on living there the rest of your life. Make a list of preferences for your new home, starting with the most important amenities and ending with the least important.

Create a separate folder and organize all your important notes in it. In these notes, make sure to have a list of all the houses that you liked and the reasons why you chose them. It may also be a useful step to list all the houses which you didn’t choose and the reasons why. Have a qualified home inspecting company to inspect the house once you have made a final decision. Also, consider getting a home warranty which covers all what your insurance won’t.

Dealing with pests is something that all homeowners have to go through. No matter how you take care of your home, there is bound to be a pest problem one day. It could actually be a problem on pest control in the house like ants or mice. Or it could be a pest control problem outside the house like rabbits and gophers. Either way, it is definitely a problem that really needs a solution.

One of the possible solutions that are being offered these days is electronic pest control devices. The debate is actually on whether or not these devices actually work. So in this article we are going to look at a few electronic pest control devices and see if they do work.

The first device we will look at are basically, the electronic mouse traps. The actual reason why some people would prefer using an electronic one is simply because they feel that the traditional ones are inhumane. Traps such as mouse traps or sticky glue are said to be inhumane because the rodent doesn’t die immediately. It claims to definitely kill the rodents immediately with the electronic ones. But the ultimate question is, does it work?

The electronic mouse trap is basically a box where a mouse is lured into. When it comes into the box, it gets shocked and dies within ten seconds. This is the reason why people consider it humane. After testing it out, it does appear to work as well as advertised. Plus it is definitely not as messy as the traditional trap.

The next well known device which we will really look at is for your lawn. The pests that bother your lawn most of the times are rabbits. Rabbits will definitely kill your grass simply because they will eat it away. The said electronic device here is actually a motion sensor sprinkler. If a rabbit were to walk on the grass the sprinkler would come on causing the rabbit to run away. It has been proven to really work and since it doesn’t actually kill the rabbit, it is considered humane.

So generally, these electronic devices do work as advertised. If you are one who wants a humane way to fight pests, these electronic devices will definitely work for you.

Eliminate the headache of trying to get rid of pests with this San Diego pest control. Take care of all your mice problems with us at San Diego mouse controlservice.

Resolved Question: find draft, grammar check, and the fourth para is my conclusion and i wrote in alternative term. Please help
The use of herbicide in lawn care has increased in the past year. Advertising has portrayed herbicide as a magician that could provide a nice environment in a really short time, in order to fulfill our desire. This chemical spray is use to destroy needless weeds and plants, but a lot of people overuse it, and that causes many problems. These problems can typically be found around us. Pollution in our water, and other effects on human health. Therefore, we have a responsibility to prevent the use of herbicide and protect our life and the environment we live in.

Herbicide contains two specific ingredients: glyphosate and 2,4D. These chemicals are commonly used in farms, parks and golf courses. Farmers and gardeners use the chemicals to kill unwanted plants, but they don’t realize that the chemicals do not stay on the plants. The herbicides are getting into our water, rivers and, subsequently, into the rain. It could kill fish, beavers, frogs and birds.
I found that some researches have proven that weed killer is toxic to the environment. John Struger, a scientist at the Canadian Centre for Inland Waters, analyzed urban streams and detected nine types of herbicides. Tyrone Hayes, the developmental endocrinologist at the University of California at Berkeley, said that over-use of herbicide is directly effecting male tadpoles in the laboratory. He tested the level used in the environment, and found that this chemical removed the testicles of male tadpoles, and prevented male characteristics from fully forming. He concluded that herbicide exposure turns the tadpoles into hermaphrodites (creatures with both male and female sexual characteristics). If there are no more male frogs, frog populations will decrease, and, without the frogs to consume them, bug populations will increase.

In fact, herbicides are not only harmful to our environment but are also slowly poisoning both children and adults. Children are at a high risk of infection because their immune systems are very weak. A U.S. National Cancer Institute survey found that children with leukemia and asthma are six times more likely to come from homes where herbicides were used. Children are most at risk of developing problems because they play on lawns, and herbicides can enter through their skin. And according to Dr. Kelly Martin, 20% of the people who arrive in hospital emergency rooms with toxic herbicide exposure are children who have crawled on a lawn after it had been sprayed safely. The Ontario College of Family Physicians, the Canadian Public Health Association and the Learning Disabilities Association of Canada have said that herbicides affect children’s neurological development, reproduction, growth, and the functioning of the immune and endocrine systems. Moreover, Canadians are using approximately four million kilograms of herbicides every year. Adults have stronger immune systems, but are also affected by the chemical sprays, exhibiting symptoms such as sneezing, running nose, stinging eyes, headache and diarrhea.

Now scientist had investigated organic herbicide, this organic product is vinegar. Vinegar does great job in killing off weeds without hurting plants, animals and human. The acidic nature of vinegar (4 percent acetic acid) is what makes it an ideal organic herbicide. It is perfectly for farm and even home garden.

Like a carnival free-fall ride that stops suddenly, teasing riders into a false sense of safety before plummeting the rest of the way to the ground, some economists say the housing market could once again be headed for a plunge after slowly clawing back some of its 2008 losses.

After a 36 month departure from the peak of the real estate market, the topic of the day is still real estate and the current trend in prices. Chicken Little Syndrome initiated the bust and has continued its decline, even though we did have 7% appreciate across the nation this year

The function of the FHA is to make sure those who would not normally be able to buy a home, can do so, but they are raising their standards which will make buying a home harder for poorer buyers.

Trying to help the foreclosure rates, the FHA has increased its down payment required to buyers that don’t have the greatest credit, while boosting the mortgage insurance premiums needed for its loans, and significantly lowering the amount of money for seller paid closing costs.

Conventional loan programs are having a hard time placing loans with qualified borrowers, who are turning to FHA financing for easier loans

Due to these trends many borrowers are considering the FHA as their only source available for financing their home purchases, which means the government will be backing even more loans than the already burdened Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac do. With conventional loan sources completing fewer and fewer loans on a daily basis, the necessity for FHA loan programs is increasingly supporting and boosting our real estate market and our economy in general. In a market where every cent can be important, utilizing FHA financing may be the best way home buyers can successfully navigate the tough world of real estate.
