I met a man with 7 wives....each wife had 7 sacks   (7*7) = 49 sacks.
each sack had 7 cats...(49 * 7) = 343 cats
each cat had 7 kittens...(343 * 7) = 2401 kittens <==

Marie, Shelia, and Martha bought snacks for a girl's sleepover. They each bought the items shown in the following table at the l
creativ13 [48]

Using a system of equations, it is found that the unit prices are:

  • $2.25 for a bag of chips.
  • $1.50 for a liter of pop.
  • $1.75 for a chocolate bar.

For the system:

  • x is the unit price of a bag of chips.
  • y is the unit price of liter of pop.
  • z is the unit price for a chocolate bar.

From the table, the equations are:

2x + 2y + z = 9.25

3x + 4y + z = 14.50

x + 3y + 3z = 12

Replacing the <u>first equation on the second and the third:</u>

z = 9.25 - 2x - 2y

3x + 4y + z = 14.50

3x + 4y + 9.25 - 2x - 2y = 14.50

x + 2y = 5.25

x = 5.25 - 2y

x + 3y + 3z = 12

x + 3y + 3(9.25 - 2x - 2y) = 12

-5x - 3y = -15.75

5x + 3y = 15.75

Since x = 5.25 - 2y:

5(5.25 - 2y) + 3y = 15.75

-7y = -10.5

y = \frac{10.5}{7}

y = 1.5

Then:

x = 5.25 - 2y = 5.25 - 2(1.5) = 2.25

z = 9.25 - 2x - 2y = 9.25 - 2(2.25) - 2(1.5) = 1.75

The unit prices are:

  • $2.25 for a bag of chips.
  • $1.50 for a liter of pop.
  • $1.75 for a chocolate bar.

Dado dos ángulos complementarios, uno mide (2x + 10) y el otro (x + 20),
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

El valor de <em>x</em> es igual a 20 o <em>x</em> = 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lo primero que se debe saber es que <em>dos ángulos complementarios suman un ángulo recto o 90º</em>.

Supongamos que el valor de un ángulo \\ \alpha y un ángulo \\ \beta valen:

\\ \alpha = 2x + 10 [1]

\\ \beta = x + 20 [2]

Como la suma de  \\ \alpha + \beta = 90 [3]

Entonces

\\ \alpha + \beta = (2x + 10) + (x + 20) = 90

Sumamos los factores comunes entre si:

\\ (2x + x) + (10 + 20) = 90

Para la primera expresión debemos recordar que se suman sólo los coeficientes. Así:

\\ (2 + 1)x + (10 + 20) = 90

\\ 3x + 30 = 90

Para despejar la incógnita <em>x</em>, debemos tener en cuenta que <em>una igualdad no se altera si se suma, se resta, se multiplica o divide un mismo valor a cada lado de ella</em>. Por esta razón, para despejar 3x, lo primero que podemos hacer es sumar -30 a cada lado de la expresión (lo que es igual a restar 30 a cada lado de la misma). Así tenemos:

\\ 3x + 30 - 30 = 90 - 30

\\ 3x + 0 = 90 - 30

\\ 3x = 60

Ahora dividimos cada miembro de la igualdad entre 3 (o multiplicamos cada lado de la igualdad por \\ \frac{1}{3} ):

\\ \frac{3}{3}x = \frac{60}{3}

Como sabemos que:

\\ \frac{3}{3} = 1

Entonces:

\\ 1*x = \frac{60}{3}

\\ x = \frac{60}{3}

\\ x = 20

De esta manera, el valor de <em>x</em> es igual a 20 o x = 20.

Lo anterior lo podemos comprobar considerando las ecuaciones [1], [2] y [3]. Así tenemos que:

\\ \alpha = 2x + 10 [1]

Sustituimos x por el valor de 20:

\\ \alpha = 2*20 + 10 = 40 + 10 = 50

\\ \beta = x + 20 [2]

Hacemos lo mismo para [2]:

\\ \beta = 20 + 20

\\ \beta = 40

De esta manera:

\\ \alpha + \beta = 90 [3]

\\ 50 + 40 = 90

Together two ferries can transport a day's cargo in 7 hours. The larger ferry can transport cargo three times faster than the sm
Ksju [112]

Answer:

9 hours, 20 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

When two ferries work together, they transport a day's cargo in 7 hours

The speed proportion or ratio of larger ferry to smaller ferry is given as 3 : 1

The sum of the ratio = 4 (3 + 1)

This means that it will take the smaller ferry = 7 x 4 hours to work alone = 28 hours, since the larger ferry is faster by 3.

Therefore, when larger ferry works alone, it will take it (7 x 4)/3 = 9.33 hours.

9.33 hours = 9 hours, 20 minutes.
