Answer:

(a) Weight of a bolt = 12 grms and weight of a nut is 7 gms. Weight of one bolt and one nut = 12 + 7 = 19 gms

(b) 69 gms

(c) 209 gms

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem relates to solution of 2 unknowns using simultaneous equations.

Let B be the weight of a single bolt and N be the weight of a single nut

Since 8 bolts and 6 nuts weigh 138 grams we get one of the equations as

8B + 6N = 138    (1)

The second equation in the unknowns is

3B + 5N = 71  (2)

To solve, we eliminate one of the unknowns by making its coefficients the same and subtracting one from the other

Multiplying (1) by 5 ===>   40B + 30N = 690   (3)

Multiplying (2) by 6 ===>  18B + 30N = 426    (4)

(3) - (4) eliminates the N variables and yields

22B = 264   ==> B = 264/22 ==> B = 12

So the weight of a single bolt is 12 grams

We can find the weight of a single nut by substituting this value of B into any of the equations (1), (2), (3) or (4) and solving for N. Let's use equation (2)

3(12) + 5N = 71 ==>  36 + 5N = 71 ==> 5N = 71-36 = 35 ==>  N= 7

So the weight of a single nut is 7 grams

Weight of one bolt and one nut is the sum of the above individual weights = 12 + 7 = 19 gms

To solve (b) and (c) we could set up two other equations and plug in values for B and N

(b) 4B + 3N = 4.12 + 3.7 = 69
However, an alternate way is to perceive that 4B + 3N is exactly half of 8B + 6N so the value of that must be 138/2 = 69

(c) If we add both equations (1) and (2), we get

11B + 11N = 138 + 71 = 209 which is the equation for the total weight of 11 bolts and 11 nuts

Miguel bikes 23 km per hour and starts at mile 10. Gabby bies 28 km per hour and starts at mile 0. Which system of linear equati
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

y = 23x + 10

y = 28x + 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Miguel :

Velocity = 23 km/hr

Starting position = 10 miles

Gabby:

Velocity = 28 km/hr

Starting position = 0 miles

The general form of a linear equation :

y = mx + c

In the scenario above ; the starting points corresponds to the intercept, c

The distance moved per hour (velocity) is the slope (m), which is the change in y per unit change in x

Hence ;

Miguel:

y = 23x + 10

Gabby:

y = 28x + 0

To solve a one-step equation, you must _____<br> the variable.
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

Isolate.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve a one-step equation, you must isolate the variable.

For example,

3x = 9.

You must isolate x, which just means you have to get x by itself.

Divide by 3 on both sides to get x by itself.

x = 3.

The answer to this question is isolate.

Carlos received 84 votes. That was 3 of every 7 votes cast in the class president election. How many votes were cast?
Step2247 [10]
336 votes total.

if he got 84 votes 3/7 so you take 84 times 4 (i got four by subracting 3 from 7 and got the remaining votes) and you will get 336 votes. hope this helps! :)
