1 car - 4 wheels
1 motorcycle - 2 wheels

x - number of cars
y - number of motorcycles

so, there are 70 vehicles: x + y = 70
and all togeather they've got 258 wheels: 4*x + 2*y = 258
because each car has 4 wheels, so all car wheels = 4*x,
likewise 2*y for motorcycles

x + y = 70  /* 4
4 x + 2y = 258

4 x + 4 y = 280  (R1)
4 x + 2y = 258    (R2)

2y = 22  /:2      it is R1 - R2
x = 70 - y

y = 11    /motorcycles
x = 70 - 11 = 59  /cars

check:
59 + 11 = 70  ok
59 * 4 + 11 * 2 = 236 + 22 = 258  ok

Three-eighths of the students in a certain class are males and 3/5 of the male
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

3/5 of the students in the class are not in accounting majors

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of males in the class is 3/8

3/5 of them are accounting majors

The ones who are not in accounting majors are;

3/8 - 3/5 = 9/40

The total number of female students in the class is;

8/8 - 3/8 = 5/8

1/4 of them are accounting majors

The ones who are not in accounting majors are;

5/8 - 1/4 = 3/8

Total number of students not in accounting majors;

9/40 + 3/8

= 24/40

= 3/5

The spinner at the right is divided into eight equal parts. Find the theoretical probability of
finlep [7]

Answer:

\frac{3}{4} probability of landing on a number greater than 2 on the spinner.

Step-by-step explanation:

A theoretical probability is given by the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

In this question:

8 possible outcomes(all numbers from 1 to 8).

6 desired outcomes(3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8, that is, all the numbers greater than 2). So

p = \frac{6}{8} = \frac{3}{4}

\frac{3}{4} probability of landing on a number greater than 2 on the spinner.

An experiment observing the growth of two germ strand populations finds these patterns.
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

R(x) = (1.3)^{3x-8}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

A(x) = (1.3)^{x + 9}

B(x) = (1.3)^{4x + 1}

Required

Ratio B(x) to A(x)

This is calculated as:

R(x) = B(x) : A(x)

Express as fraction

R(x) = \frac{B(x) }{A(x)}

Substitute: A(x) = (1.3)^{x + 9} and  B(x) = (1.3)^{4x + 1}

R(x) = \frac{(1.3)^{4x+1}}{(1.3)^{x+9}}

Apply law of indices

R(x) = (1.3)^{4x-x+1-9}

R(x) = (1.3)^{3x-8}

A boat traveled 252 miles downstream and back. The trip downstream took 12 hours. The trip back took 84 hours. Find the speed of
Leokris [45]

Answer: the speed of the boat in still water is 12 mph and the speed of the current is 9 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the speed of the boat in still water.

Let y represent the speed of the current.

The boat travelled 252 miles downstream and the same distance upstream.

The trip downstream took 12 hours. Assuming the boat travelled with the wind when going downstream, the total speed would be (x + y) mph.

Distance = speed × time

The expression for distance travelled downstream is

252 = 12(x + y)

Dividing through by 12, it becomes

21 = x + y- - - - - - - - - - 1

The trip back took 84 hours. Assuming the boat travelled against the wind when going back(upstream), the total speed would be (x - y) mph.

The expression for distance travelled upstream is

252 = 84(x - y)

Dividing through by 84, it becomes

3 = x - y- - - - - - - - - - 2

Adding equation 1 to equation 2, it becomes

24 = 2x

x = 24/2

x = 12 mph

Substituting x = 12 into equation 1, it becomes

21 = 12 + y

y = 21 - 12

y = 9 mph
