Printing machine A and printing machine B print the same newspaper printout, but machine B prints at half the rate of machine A.

If each machine produces 200 newspaper printouts, and both operate at different times for a total of 4 hours, what is the rate of each printing machine

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the rate of printing in machine A is x per hour and the rate for machine B is y. Given that machine B prints at half the rate of machine A, therefore:

y = (1/2)x                       (1)

Also, both machine produces 200 newspaper printouts, and both operate at different times for a total of 4 hours. Therefore:

200/x + 200/y = 4       (2)

Put y = (1/2)x in equation:

\frac{200}{x}+\frac{200}{(\frac{1}{2} )x}=4\\ \\ \frac{200}{x}+\frac{400}{x}=4\\\\Multiply\ through\ by\ x:\\\\200+400=4x\\\\4x=600\\\\x=150

Put x = 150 in equation y:

y=(1/2)150 = 75

Therefore the rate of machine A is 150 newspapers per hour while that of machine B is 75 newspapers per hour

adoni [48]
Let 2x – y = 3 ——— equation 1

Let x + 5y = 14 ——— equation 2

Making x the subject in eqn 1, = x = y + 3 / 2 ——— eqn 3

• Put eqn 3 in eqn 2

(y + 3 / 2) + 5y = 14

6y = 14 – 3/2

6y = 25/2

y = 25/12

• put y = 25/12 in eqn 3

x = (25/12 + 3/2)

x = 43/12

Since the shape is a square, it has 90° angles.

if cut in half, it creates a 45-45-90 triangle.
using this, you can use the ratio of 1:sqrt2 to find x. so the ratio would be x:6 to 1:sqrt2.

divide 6 by sqrt2 to find x, and then rationalize for it to become 6sqrt2/2, which would simplify even further to 3sqrt2

The X multiple answers are 60 or 55 or 9 or 27 and
Molodets [167]

Step-by-step explanation:

It is an isosceles triangle , it has two equal angles both 55°.

All Isosceles triangles have two equal angles <em>a</em><em>n</em><em>d</em> two equal sides.

So in this case x +18 is equal to 3x, and to find x you will equal them to each other to create a linear equation and solve.

x + 18 = 3x

x - 3x = -18

-2x = -18

× = -18 / -2

× = 9 <em>(</em><em>a</em><em>n</em><em>s</em><em>)</em><em> </em>

Hope I was able to help. Good Luck :)))
