Two equations
23=y+x and y=2x-1

fill in the y and solve

23= 2x-1+x
23=3x-1
+1 +1
24=3x
÷3. ÷3
8=x

fill in the second equation for y

y =2x-1
y=2(8)-1
y=16-1
y=15

Which expression fits this description?
madam [21]

Answer:

The expression that fits the description is ;

(8a + b)/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to find the expression that fits the given description;

We are told that the expression is a sum of two terms

The first term is 2 * a = 2a

The second term is the quotient ( result of division) of b and 4 = b/4

Joe's Ice Cream Shop has 7/8 of a gallon of vanilla ice cream left. They use 1/12 of a gallon of ice cream to make one milkshake
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

Ten and a Half milkshakes can be prepared from the available amount of ice cream.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total vanilla ice cream = 7/8 gallons

Ice cream used for 1 milkshake = 1/12 gallon

Now, total number of milkshakes possible = \frac{\textrm{Total availibility of ice cream}}{\textrm{Ice cream used for each milkshake}}

= \frac{\frac{7}{8} }{\frac{1}{12} }  = \frac{7}{8}  \times \frac{12}{1}  = 10.5

Hence ten and a half milkshakes can be prepared from the available amount of ice cream.

17. Only tenth-, eleventh-, and twelfth-grade students
Tom [10]

Answer: Eleventh Grade

Step-by-step

The ratio of tenth graders to the school's total population is 86:255 = 33.7%.

The ratio of eleventh graders to the school's total population is 18:51 = 35.3%.

Since the probability of a student being in either tenth, eleventh, or twelfth grade = 1 = 100% (that is, certainty), then the probability of a randomly drawn student being in twelfth grade is (100-33.7-35.3)% = 31.0%.

When randomly choosing one student from the whole school, it is most likely (35.3%) that the student is in the eleventh grade.
