If Terry gives 30% of his sweets to Alex,they will have the same number of sweets.If terry gives 750 of his sweets to Alex,then Alex will have 80% more sweets than Terry.How many sweets does Terry have?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Terry has 1500 sweets.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is solved using a system of equations.

I am going to say that:

x is the number of sweets Terry has.

y is the number of sweets Alex has.

If Terry gives 30% of his sweets to Alex,they will have the same number of sweets.

This means that:

[tex](1 - 0.3)x = y + 0.3x[/tex]

[tex]0.7x = y + 0.3x[/tex]

[tex]y = 0.4x[/tex]

If Terry gives 750 of his sweets to Alex,then Alex will have 80% more sweets than Terry.

This means that:

[tex]y + 750 = 1.8(x-750)[/tex]

We want to find x, and since [tex]y = 0.4x[/tex]

[tex]y + 750 = 1.8x - 1350[/tex]

[tex]0.4x + 750 = 1.8x - 1350[/tex]

[tex]1.4x = 2100[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{2100}{1.4}[/tex]

[tex]x = 1500[/tex]

Terry has 1500 sweets.

Your pump empties the water from a swimming pool in 4 hours. When your friend's pump is used together with your pump, the pool is emptied in 48 minutes. How long (in hours) does it take your friend's pump to empty the pool when working alone?

Answers

Answer:

Time taken for pump B to empty pool = 1 hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Time taken for pump A to empty pool = 4 hour

Time taken together = 48 minutes = 48 / 60 = 4/5 hour

Find:

Time taken for pump B to empty pool

Computation:

Assume;

Time taken for pump B to empty pool = a

1/4 + 1/a = 1 / (4/5)

1/4 + 1/a = 5/4

1/a = 5/4 - 1/4

1/a = (5 - 1) / 4

1/a = 1

a = 1

Time taken for pump B to empty pool = 1 hour.

Answer:

Option B. A = (5/6)^-⅛

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, we obtained:

(5/6)ˣ = A¯⁸ˣ

We can obtain the value of A as follow:

(5/6)ˣ = A¯⁸ˣ

Cancel x from both side

5/6 = A¯⁸

Recall:

M¯ⁿ = 1/Mⁿ

A¯⁸ = 1/A⁸

Thus,

5/6 = 1/A⁸

Cross multiply

5 × A⁸ = 6

Divide both side by 5

A⁸ = 6/5

Take the 8th root of both sides

A = ⁸√(6/5)

Recall

ⁿ√M = M^1/n

Thus,

⁸√(6/5) = (6/5)^⅛

Therefore,

A = (6/5)^⅛

Recall:

(A/B)ⁿ = (B/A)¯ⁿ

(6/5)^⅛ = (5/6)^-⅛

Therefore,

A = (5/6)^-⅛

A certain country has 586.08 million acres of forest. Every year, the country loses 7.92 million acres of forest mainly due to deforestation for farming purposes. If this situation continues at this pace, how many years later will the country have only 237.6 million acres of forest left? (Use an equation to solve this problem.)

Answers

Answer:

At this pace the country will have only 237.6 million acres of forest left in 44 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a certain country has 586.08 million acres of forest, and every year, the country loses 7.92 million acres of forest mainly due to deforestation for farming purposes, to determine, if this situation continues at this pace, how many years later will the country have only 237.6 million acres of forest left, the following calculation must be performed:

Current amount - (amount lost per year x number of years) = 237.6

586.08 - (7.92 x X) = 237.6

586.08 - 7.92X = 237.6

-7.92X = 237.6 - 586.08

-7.92X = -348.48

X = -348.48 / -7.92

X = 44

Therefore, at this pace the country will have only 237.6 million acres of forest left in 44 years.

Answers

Answer:

Area of triangles 1 = 18 ft²

Area of triangles 2 = 16 in²

Area of triangles 3 = 90 yd²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

1] Height of triangle = 4 ft

Base of triangle = 9 ft

2] Height of triangle = 4 in

Base of triangle = 8 in

3] Height of triangle = 12 yd

Base of triangle = 15 yd

Find:

Area of triangles

Computation:

Area of triangles = (1/2)(Base)(Height)

Area of triangles 1 = (1/2)(4)(9)

Area of triangles 1 = 18 ft²

Area of triangles 2 = (1/2)(4)(8)

Area of triangles 2 = 16 in²

{2x + y = -1}
{3x- 5y + -21}

Answers

Answer:

(-2, 3).

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + y = -1

3x- 5y = -21

Multiply the first equation by 5:

10x + 5y = -5     Adding this to the second equation:

13x = -26

x = -2.

Substituting this into equation 1:

2(-2) + y = -1

y = -1 + 4 = 3.

Checking this result in the second equation:

3(-2) - 5(3)

= -5 - 15 = -21

Solve for z
3z-5+2z=25-5z

Answers

Answer:

z=3

Step-by-step explanation:

1. collect like terms

5z-5=25-5z

2. Move the variable to the left hand side and change its sign

5z-5+5z=25

3. Collect like terms

10z=25+5

4. Divide both sides of the equation by 10

z=3

The solution to the equation is z = 3.

To solve for z in the equation 3z - 5 + 2z = 25 - 5z, we can simplify and combine like terms on both sides:

3z + 2z + 5z = 25 + 5

Combining the terms on the left side gives:

10z = 30

Next, we isolate the variable z by dividing both sides of the equation by 10:

(10z)/10 = 30/10

This simplifies to:

z = 3

Therefore, the solution to the equation is z = 3.
