What book has the solution in it?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Drupady [299]1 year ago

Answer:

Book 3

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have four statements:

1: Book 1 or Book 2

2: Book 3 or Book 4

3: Book 4

4: Not Book 3

We also have the condition that only 1 of the statements are correct, and more important, the other 3 are incorrect.

So it may be a bit difficult to see at first, but the solution, has to be book 3. The reason for this is if we assume statement 1, statement 2, or statement 3 is true, that would imply that the statement 4 is false, meaning the solution is in book 3.

If we assume that statement 2 is true, then statement 4 is false, meaning that book 3 has the solution, which aligns statement 2. It also aligns with statement 1 being false, because it's not book 1 or 2, and it also aligns with statement 3 being false, because the solution is not in book 4.

Let's look at why assuming any other statement to be true, leads to contradictions.

So let's assume the first statement is true, this means the solution is book 1 or 2. But this means the statement 4 is false, meaning book 3 has the solution. This contradicts the first statement which we assume is true, thus the first statement is not true.

Let's now assume the third statement is true, this means statement four is false meaning it's book 3, but this contradicts the third statement which says it's book 4. Thus this statement cannot be true

Let's assume the last option is true, this means book 3 has no solution, and since all the other are false, book 4 has no solution, book 3 or 4 has  no solution, book 1 or 2 has no solution either. This means that none of the books have solutions, and assuming one of the books does have a solution, this statement cannot be true.

4x-3y=2<br> 3x=5y=16<br> solve using substitution method
vodomira [7]

\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}4x-3y=2&|\text{add 3y to both sides}\\3x+5y=16\end{array}\right\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}4x=3y+2&|\text{divide both sides by 4}\\3x+5y=16\end{array}\right\\\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}x=0.75y+0.5&(*)\\3x+5y=16\end{array}\right\\\\\text{substitute}\ (*)\ \text{to the second equation}\\\\3(0.75y+0.5)+5y=16\qquad\text{use distributive property}\\\\(3)(0.75x)+(3)(0.5)+5y=16\\\\2.25y+1.5+5y=16\qquad\text{subtract 1.5 from both sides}\\\\7.25y=14.5\qquad\text{divide both sides by 7.25}

\boxed{y=2}\\\\\text{substitute the value of y to}\ (*):\\\\x=0.75(2)+0.5\\\\x=1.5+0.5\\\\\boxed{x=2}\\\\Answer:\ x=2\ and\ y=2\to(2,\ 2)

If you have a right triangle is 10 cm² and one of the legs is 4 cm find the length of the other leg
lesya [120]

If you are saying that the hypotenuse is 10 cm the you have to solve the following equation using the Pythagorean theory.

4^2 + b^2 = 10^2

16 + b^2 = 100

16 - 16 + b^2 = 100 - 16

b^2 = 84

Find \sqrt{84\\
