The total units of stationery he has would be 55 approximately.

<h3>What is a system of equations?</h3>

A system of equations is two or more equations that can be solved to get a unique solution. the power of the equation must be in one degree.

David keeps a range of stationery in his study.

Let the pencil is represented by x.

Let the erasers be represented by y.

Let the pens be represented by z.

Let n be the stationery.

5/7 of his stationery consists of pencils.

x = 5/7 n

1/6 of the remaining stationery consists of erasers.

y = 1/6 n

There are 20 pens in his study.

z = 20

The total stationery

X + y + z

5/7 n + 1/6 n + 20 = n

20 = n -23/ 36 n

20 = 13 / 36 n

n = 55.38

Therefore, the total units of stationery he has would be 55 approximately.

Which expression is equivalent to sqrt2x^5/18 ? Assume x&gt;0.
qwelly [4]

Answer

\frac{x^{2} \sqrt{x} }{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

first off rt(2x^5) can be simplified as x^2 rt(2x) because we can break up x^5 into x^4 * x. x^4 is a perfect square so factor out a x^2.

the denominator \sqrt{18} can be written as 3\sqrt{2} since the factors of 18 involve a perfect square of 9. 9*2 is 18 so factor out a 3.

the whole fraction :

\frac{x^{2} \sqrt{2x} }{3\sqrt{2} }

cancel out the \sqrt{2} and you are left with \frac{x^{2} \sqrt{x} }{3}

Nella travelled 1/3 of a journey by bus, 2/3 of the remainder by bicycle and the remaining 9 km on foot. a)How far did Nella cyc
Kitty [74]

Answer:

18km

40.5km

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b = journey by bus

c = journey by bicycle

d = total journey

c = (2/3 x d) x 2/3

divide both sides by 2/s

c(3/2) = (2/3)d

c + 9km = 2/3d

c + 9km = 3/2 c

collect like terms and solve for c

3/2c - c = 9km

1/2c = 9km

c = 18km

2. IF cycling (18km) and walking (9km) make up 2/3 of the journey, 2/3 of the journey is 27km

2/3d = 27km

divide both sides by 3/2 to find d

d = 40.50 km

Find the greatest number which divides by 1280 and 1371 leaves a remainder in each case?
vladimir1956 [14]
1279???
Because the gcf does not leave any remainders behind. The gcf could be 1280, but that would not leave a remainder behind if you divided 1280 by 1280. So, I think it is 1279, but i am probably wrong
