System of Equations

Let:

x = number of people that can be seated at a table

y = number of people that can be seated at a booth

The first plan consists of 23 tables and 10 booths and then 228 people could be seated, thus:

23x + 10y = 228

The second plan consists of 12 tables and 12 booths and that way 180 people could be seated, thus:

12x + 12y = 180

The method of elimination requires equating the coefficients of one variable and eliminating it by adding the equations.

Multiply the first equation by 12:

276x + 120y = 2736

Multiply the second equation by -23:

-276x - 276y = -4140

Add the last two equations (the variable x cancels out):

120y - 276y = 2736 - 4140

Simplifying:

-156y = -1404

Dividing by -156:

y = -1404/(-156)

y = 9

Substitute this value in the first equation:

23x + 10(9) = 228

Operate:

23x + 90 = 228

Subtract 90:

23x = 138

Divide by 23:

x = 138/23

x = 6

Every table can seat 6 people, and every booth can seat 9 people

consider a wire 2 ft long cut into two pieces. one piece forms a circle with radius r and the other forms a square with side len

makkiz [27]

The formula for the radius r in terms of x . and for the maximum areas is x=2/ $\pi$ +4

Given that,

y forms a circle of radius r

y=2 $\pi$ r

r=y/2 $\pi$

(2-y)- forms Square Side x

(2-y) = 4x

x=(2-y)/4

Now Sum of Area's=Area of Square +Area of Circle

Sum = $\pi$ r² + x²

Substitute the r and x values in above equation,

A(y)= y²/4 $\pi$ +(y-2)²/ 16

To maximize Area A(y)

A'(y)= 0

2y/4 $\pi$ + 2(y-2)/16 =0

y/2 $\pi$ + (y-2)/8 =0

y = 2 $\pi$ / $\pi$ +4

Y max will be max, x to be maximum.

for maximum sum of areas,

x=2/ $\pi$ +4

Hence,The formula for the radius r in terms of x . and for the maximum areas is x=2/ $\pi$ +4

J.K. Rowling and R.L. Stine are both reading the hunger games. J.K. reads 35 pages every 2 hours and R.L. reads 45 pages every 3

Lilit [14]

Attention:THIS IS PART B ONLY!

First,find the unit rate.

35/2 and x/1

35 divided by 2 = 17.5 so the unit rate for J.K. is 17.5 pages per hour.

now,R.L.

45/3 and x/1

45 divided by 3 = 15 so the unit rate for R.L. is 15 pages per hour

now we need to divide 355 by 17.5 and divide it by 15.Whichever quotient is smaller,finishes the book first

355 divided by 17.5 = about 20 hrs----J.K.

355 divided by 15 = about 24 hrs-----R.L.

So,who read faster?

A local country club has a membership of 600 and operates facilities that include an 18-hole championship golf course and 12 ten

shusha [124]

Answer:

0.45 = 45% probability that the member uses the golf course but not the tennis courts

Step-by-step explanation:

I am going to solve this question using the events as Venn sets.

I am going to say that:

Event A: Uses the golf courses.

Event B: Uses the tennis courts.

5% use neither of these facilities.

This means that $P(A \cup B) = 1 - 0.05 = 0.95$

75% use the golf course, 50% use the tennis courts

This means, respectively, by:

$P(A) = 0.75, P(B) = 0.5$

Probability that a member uses both:

This is $P(A \cap B)$ . We have that:

$P(A \cap B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cup B)$

$P(A \cap B) = 0.75 + 0.5 - 0.95 = 0.3$

What is the probability that the member uses the golf course but not the tennis courts?

This is $P(A - B)$ , which is given by:

$P(A - B) = P(A) - P(A \cap B)$

$P(A - B) = 0.75 - 0.3 = 0.45$

0.45 = 45% probability that the member uses the golf course but not the tennis courts
