Donna sold 3 pencils and 8 pens solved using simultaneous equation

What is a simultaneous equation?

Simultaneous equation refers to related equations that are solved at the same to derive answers to the unknown variables

Let assume that X pencils were sold and Y pens were sold

The total revenue is the sum of the prices multiplied by the quantities sold.

2X+3Y=30 (equation 1)

The sum of X and Y sold is 11

X+Y=11 (equation 2)

multiply the second equation by 2

2*(X+Y=11)

2X+2Y=22 (equation 3)

subtract equation 3 from 1

(2X+3Y=30)-(2X+2Y=22)

Y=8

Substitute for Y in equation 2

X+8=11

X=11-8

X=3

Which means he sold 3 pencils and 8 pens.

You start a lawn care company with four friends. You agree to split the profits equally. The tools you need to buy cost $525. Ho

elena55 [62]

Because you're starting the company with 4 friends, there are 5 people in total. Therefore, if you do (400 × 5) + 525, you get the answer. 400 × 5 = 2000, and 2000 + 525 = $2525. I hope this helps! Let me know if you need me to explain anything :)

Circle D is below what is the arc measure of BC in degrees

maks197457 [2]

Answer:

84°

Step-by-step explanation:

$\because (13n - 16) \degree + (7n + 12) \degree + (6n)\degree \\= 360\degree \\ \\ \therefore \: (26n - 4) \degree= 360\degree \\ \\ \therefore \: 26n - 4= 360 \\ \\ \therefore \: 26n = 360 + 4 \\ \\ \therefore \: 26n = 364 \\ \\ \therefore \: n = \frac{364}{26} \\ \\ \therefore \: n = 14 \\ \\\because m\overset { \frown}{BC} = (6n)°\\ \\\therefore \:m \overset { \frown}{BC} =(6\times 14)° \\ \\ \huge \purple {\boxed {\therefore \:m\overset { \frown}{BC}= 84°}} \\$

Write the equation of the lines resented below in slope-intercept form

scoray [572]

Slope intercept form: y = mx + b

mx = slope

b = y-intercept

We know the y intercept is 0, so nothing will be written there.

To find the slope of this line, we can use the slope formula.

$\frac{y.2 - y.1}{x.2 - x.1} = m$

We'll use the points (1, 0) and (3, 1) to find the slope.

Now we can just plug these values into the equation to find the slope.

1 - 0 / 3 - 1

1 / 2

The slope of the line is 1/2, or 0.5.

The slope-intercept form of this line can be written as:

y = 0.5x
