Answer:

-12 exceeds -15 by 3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out by how much a exceeds b, subtract a - b.

For example, by how much does 8 exceed 6?

Here, a = 8 and b = 6.

a - b = 8 - 6 = 2

2 is correct since we know that 8 is 2 greater than 6.

Now we do this problem.

By how much does -12 exceed -15?

a = -12; b = -15

a - b = -12 - (-15) = -12 + 15 = 3

Answer: -12 exceeds -15 by 3

Un cliente de un supermercado ha pagado un total de 240 por 16 litros de leche,4kg de hamon serrano y 8 litros de aceite de oliv
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

1 litro de leche cuesta 2.5

1 kg de jamón serrano cuesta 35

1 litro de aceite de oliva cuesta 7,5

Step-by-step explanation:

Pregunta correcta completa

Un cliente de un supermercado ha pagado un total de 240 por 16 litros de leche,4kg de hamon serrano y 8 litros de aceite de oliva. Sabiendo que 1 litro de aceite cuesta el tripe de 1 litro de leche; que 1kg de jamon cuesta igual que el cliente tendria que pagar si hubiera comprado 5 litros de leche y 3 litros de aceite de oliva. Calcule el precio de cada artículo.

Solución

Deje que el precio de un litro de leche, un kilogramo de jamón serrano y un litro de aceite de oliva sea x, y y z respectivamente.

16 litros de leche, 4 kg de hamon serrano y 8 litros de aceite de oliva cuestan 240

16x + 4y + 8z = 240 (ecuación 1)

1 litro de aceite cuesta el triple de 1 litro de leche

z = 3x (ecuación 2)

Y ese 1 kg de jamón cuesta lo mismo que el cliente tendría que pagar si hubiera comprado 5 litros de leche y 3 litros de aceite de oliva.

y = 5x + 3z (ecuación 3)

Sustituyendo las ecuaciones 2 y 3 en la ecuación 1

16x + 4(5x + 3z) + 8(3x) = 240

16x + 20x + 12z + 24x = 240

Recordemos que z = 3x

36x + 12(3x) + 24x = 240

36x + 36x + 24x = 240

96x = 240

x = (240/96) = 2.5

z = 3x = 3 × 2.5 = 7.5

y = 5x + 3z = (5×2.5) + (3×7.5) = 35

English Translation

A supermarket customer has paid a total of 240 for 16 liters of milk, 4kg of hamon serrano and 8 liters of olive oil. Knowing that 1 liter of oil costs the tripe of 1 liter of milk; t that 1kg of ham costs the same as the customer would have to pay if he had bought 5 liters of milk and 3 liters of olive oil. Calculate the price of each item.

Solution

Let the price of a liter of milk, a kilogram of Serrano ham and a liter of olive oil be x, y and z respectively.

16 liters of milk, 4kg of hamon serrano and 8 liters of olive oil cost 240

16x + 4y + 8z = 240 (eqn 1)

1 liter of oil costs the triple of 1 liter of milk

z = 3x (eqn 2)

And that 1kg of ham costs the same as the customer would have to pay if he had bought 5 liters of milk and 3 liters of olive oil

y = 5x + 3z (eqn 3)

Substituting eqn 2 and 3 into eqn 1

16x + 4(5x + 3z) + 8(3x) = 240

16x + 20x + 12z + 24x = 240

Recall that z = 3x

36x + 12(3x) + 24x = 240

36x + 36x + 24x = 240

96x = 240

x = (240/96) = 2.5

z = 3x = 3 × 2.5 = 7.5

y = 5x + 3z = (5×2.5) + (3×7.5) = 35

1 liter of milk costs 2.5

1 kg of Serrano ham costs 35

1 liter of olive oil costs 7.5

Hope this Helps!!!

Which recursive formula can be used to generate the sequence shown, where f(1) = 5 and n > 1?
saveliy_v [14]

You can try them out and see which one works.

a: f(2) = f(1) +6 = 5+6 = 11 . . . . . . not this one

b: f(1) = f(2) -6 = -1-6 = -7 . . . . . . not this one (5 ≠ -7)

c: f(2) = f(1) - 6 = 5 - 6 = -1 . . . . . this gives the right f(2)

d: f(2 = -6(f(1) = -6(5) = -30 . . . . not this one

_____

The appropriate choice is ...

... f(n +1) = f(n) - 6

— — — — — 

You can also recognize that the next term is 6 less than the current one, so f(n+1) = f(n) - 6, which corresponds to the 3rd selection.

Solve the equation 7/z-1 = 9/z+4
algol [13]

Answer:

z is equal to 18.5

Step-by-step explanation:

When an equation is in the format a/b = c/d, the quickest way to simplify it is to cross multiply.  Each side is multiplied by the other sides denominator, eliminating the division:

\frac{7}{z-1} = \frac{9}{z + 4}\\7(z + 4) = 9(z - 1)\\7z + 28 = 9z - 9\\7z - 9z = -9 - 28\\-2z = -37\\z = 37/2\\z = 18.5

So z is equal to 18.5

Which graph of a relation is also a function ?
Illusion [34]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

A graph is only a function when there is only one y value for each x value.

A trick is to draw a line through some points on the x-axis, and if the line goes through more than one point. Then it is not a function. (See picture)

Sorry, not all the lines are straight, but you get the point. B is the only one that doesn't have more than one point on the lines I drew.
