Combined, there are 198 ​Asians, Africans,​ Europeans, and Americans in a village. The number of Asians exceeds the number of Af

ricans and Europeans by 84. The difference between the number of Europeans and Americans is 6. If the number of Africans is​ doubled, their population exceeds the number of Europeans and Americans by 26. Determine the number of​ Asians, Africans,​ Europeans, and Americans in this village.

Using a system of equations, the numbers in the village are given as follows:

  • Asians: 134.
  • Africans: 30.
  • Europeans: 20.
  • Americans: 14.

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

A system of equations is when two or more variables are related, and equations are built to find the values of each variable.

For this problem, the variables are given as follows:

  • Variable x: Number of Asians.
  • Variable y: Number of Africans.
  • Variable z: Number of Europeans.
  • Variable w: Number of Americans.

Combined, there are 198 ​Asians, Africans,​ Europeans, and Americans in a village, hence:

x + y + z + w = 198.

The number of Asians exceeds the number of Africans and Europeans by 84, hence:

x - (y + z) = 84

y + z = x - 84.

The difference between the number of Europeans and Americans is 6, hence:

z - w = 6.

If the number of Africans is​ doubled, their population exceeds the number of Europeans and Americans by 26, hence:

2y = z + w + 26.

2y - z - w = 26.

Hence the system is given by:

  • x + y + z + w = 198.
  • x - (y + z) = 84.
  • z - w = 6.
  • 2y - z - w = 26.

Using a calculator, the solution is given by:

x = 134, y = 30, z = 20, w = 14.

Hence the numbers in the village are given as follows:

  • Asians: 134.
  • Africans: 30.
  • Europeans: 20.
  • Americans: 14.

The base of a triangle is 7 inches more than 4 times the height. If the area of the triangle is 93 square inches, find the base
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height = h

Let the base = 4h + 7

Area of a triangle = 1/2 * b * h

Area = 93 square inches

1/2 * (4h + 7)* h = 93            Multiply both sides by 2

(4h + 7) * h = 93*2

(4h + 7)*h = 186                    Remove the brackets

4h^2 + 7h = 186                   Subtract 186 from both sides.

4h^2 + 7h - 186 = 0

Use the quadratic formula to solve

a = 4

b = 7

c = - 186

x1 = (-7 + sqrt(7^2 - 4*4*(-186) ) /2*4

x1 = (-7 + sqrt(49 - 16*(-186)) / 8

x1 = (-7 + sqrt(49 + 2976)) / 8

x1 = (-7 + sqrt(3025)) / 8

x1 = (-7 +55 ) / 8

x1 = (48)/8

x1 = 6

There is another root, but it has to be minus and therefore cannot be used as a length. x2 = - 7.75

h = 6

b = 4*6 + 7 = 31

Check

Area = 1/2 * b * h

Area = 1/2 * 31 * 6

Area = 1/2 *186

Area = 93 which is what we were given so the answer is correct.

This occurs for the input(s) x where the outputs, f(x) and g(x), are equal. So here, f(x) = g(x) when x = 1, because 5 = 5.
