Answer:

x = 6, y = 2, z = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a system of 3 equations with 3 unknowns.  We need to first write the equations given the information and then solve them.

The first equation is the sum of 3 numbers, all unknown, is 9:

x + y + z = 9

The second equation is again a sum:

2x + 4y + 5z = 25

The third equation is the difference of only the first 2 numbers:

6x - y = 34

We will start with that last equation and solve it for y:

-y = -6x + 34 so

y = 6x - 34

Now we will go back to the first 2 equations and sub that 6x-34 in for each y.  The first equation then becomes:

x + 6x - 34 + z = 9 and 7x + z = 43

The second equation then becomes:

2x + 4(6x - 34) + 5z = 25 and 26x + 5z = 161

We will solve those 2 bold equations by addition/elimination:

  7x  +  z  =  43

26x  + 5z = 161

Multiply the first equation through by -5 to get rid of the z's.  That equation then becomes:

 -35x  -  5z  =  -215

  26x  + 5z  =  161

Adding straight down the columns gives you

 -9x  =  -54 so

x = 6

Now we can plug that x value of 6 into any equation that has an x in it:

26(6) + 5z = 161 and

156 + 5z = 161 and

5z = 5 so

z = 1.

We can use the x value only again in the equation we solved for y in the beginning:

y = 6(6) - 34 so

y = 36 - 34 and

y = 2

The solution to this system in coordinate form is

(6, 2, 1)

Blake has 25 CD's.

25 times 3 = 75
75 + 7 = 82

Joel has 82 CD's.

If Joel has twice as many as Mariella, then divide 82 by 2 and you get 41.

Mariella has 41 CD's.

Most ATM’s require a 4-digit code using the digits 0-9 how many 4-digit codes can you use
Zolol [24]

10000 digits can be used for 4 digit A.T.M code.

<u>Solution:</u>

Given that A.T.M required 4 digit codes using the digits 0 to 9.  

Need to determine how many four digit code can be used.

We are assuming that number starting with 0 are also valid ATM codes that means 0789 , 0089 , 0006 and 0000 are also valid A.T.M codes.

Now we have four places to be filled by 0 to 9 that is 10 numbers

Also need to keep in mind that repetition is allowed in this case means if 9 is selected at thousands place than also it is available for hundreds, ones or tens place .  

First digit can be selected in 10 ways that is from 0 to 9.

After selecting first digit, second digit can be selected in 10 ways that is 0 to 9 and same holds true for third and fourth digit.

So number of ways in which four digit number is created = 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 = 10000 ways

Hence 10000 digits can be used for 4 digit A.T.M code.

¿Cuántos quilómetros recorrerá una locomotora en 5 horas, si marcha a una velocidad de 82 kilómetros
kicyunya [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

Datos;

una locomotora

recorre 5 horas

a una velocidad de 82 km/h

Se asume que la locomotora lleva un movimiento rectilíneo uniforme.

Su recorrido esta descrito por la siguiente ecuación de posición;

x = x₀+ v · t

x-x₀ = d = v · t

siendo;

d = distancia recorrida

v = 82 km/h

t = 5 horas

Sustituir:

d = (82)(5)

d = 410 km

82km/h * 5h= 410km

La locomotora recorrerá 410km
