CORRECT ANSWER GETS BRAINLIEST
The difference between two numbers is 15. Find the two numbers if twice the small number plus three times the large number total 75. (Be sure to use let statments and an equation when solving)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

21 and 6

Step-by-step explanation:

a will be the larger, b the smaller:

a - b = 15

2b + 3a = 75

First, we'll solve the first equation for a in terms of b:

a = b + 15

Then substitute that in for a in the second equation to get a numerical value for b:

2b + 3(b + 15) = 75

2b + 3b + 45 = 75

5b = 30

b = 6

Next, we'll get a numerical value for a:

a - b = 15

a - 6 = 15

a = 21

Check the math:

2(6) + 3(21) = 12 + 63 = 75

Jamar to the local snack shop near his school He bought 3 hotdogs and 2 bags of chips for $Kenny went to the same snack shop and bought 5 hotdogs and 6 bags of chips for $9.55 ordered 2 hotdogs and 3 bags of chips, then how much did she pay her order?

Answers

Answer:

Marcy paid $4.15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent hotdogs with x and chips with y.

So, we have:

Jamal

[tex]3x + 2y = 4.85[/tex]

Kenny

[tex]5x + 6y = 9.55[/tex]

See attachment for complete question

Required

Determine the amount for 2x and 3y

From Jamal's and Kenny's orders we have:

[tex]3x + 2y = 4.85[/tex] --- (1)

[tex]5x + 6y = 9.55[/tex] --- (2)

Multiply (1) by 3

[tex]3 * [3x + 2y = 4.85][/tex]

[tex]9x + 6y = 14.55[/tex] --- (3)

Subtract (2) and (3)

[tex]9x - 5x + 6y - 6y = 14.55 - 9.55[/tex]

[tex]9x - 5x = 5[/tex]

[tex]4x = 5[/tex]

Solve for x

[tex]x = \frac{5}{4}[/tex]

[tex]x = 1.25[/tex]

Substitute [tex]x = 1.25[/tex] in [tex]3x + 2y = 4.85[/tex]

[tex]3 * 1.25 + 2y = 4.85[/tex]

[tex]3.75 + 2y = 4.85[/tex]

Solve for y

[tex]y = \frac{4.85 - 3.75}{2}[/tex]

[tex]y = \frac{1.10}{2}[/tex]

[tex]y = 0.55[/tex]

So, the cost of 2x and 3y is:

[tex]Cost = 2x + 3y[/tex]

[tex]Cost = 2*1.25 + 3*0.55[/tex]

[tex]Cost = \$4.15[/tex]

The simple interest on birr 400 invested for 4 months was birr 12, what is the annual (yearly) rate of interest?

Answers

Answer:

9%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Principal, P = 400

Time, t = 4 months = 4/12 = 0.33333

Simple interest = 12

Simple interest = (principal * rate * time)

Rate = r

12 = (400 * r * 0.33333)

12 = 133.3333r

r = 12 / 133.3333

r = 0.090000

r = 0.09

rate = 0.09 * 100% = 9%

Answers

Answer:

C:  y = 5x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that if x changes from 1 to 3 (the "run"), y changes from 8 to 14 (the "rise").  Thus the slope of the line represented by the table is m = rise/run = 6/2, or m = 3.  Answer choice D is the only one that displays a slope of 3.

Answer:

[tex] f(x) = -\dfrac{2}{17}x + \dfrac{843}{17} [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Score of 37 with 107 minutes on social media.

Score of 41 with 73 minutes on social media.

The two pieces of information above can be thought of as two points on a line. Since the quiz score is a function of the number of minutes on social medial, let the number of minutes on social media be x and the score be y. The given information gives us two ordered pairs: (107, 37) and (73, 41).

Now we need to write the equation of a line that passes through these two points.

The two-point form of the equation of a line is:

[tex] y - y_1 = \dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}(x - x_1) [/tex]

We have [tex] x_1 = 107 [/tex], [tex] y_1 = 37 [/tex], [tex] x_2 = 73 [/tex], and [tex]y_2 = 41[/tex].

[tex] y - 37 = \dfrac{41 - 37}{73 - 107}(x - 107) [/tex]

[tex] y - 37 = \dfrac{4}{-34}(x - 107) [/tex]

[tex] y - 37 = -\dfrac{2}{17}(x - 107) [/tex]

[tex] 17y - 629 = -2x + 214 [/tex]

[tex] 17y = -2x + 843 [/tex]

[tex] y = -\dfrac{2}{17}x + \dfrac{843}{17} [/tex]

[tex] f(x) = -\dfrac{2}{17}x + \dfrac{843}{17} [/tex]
