Mathematics

Here we have 2 variables we need to calculate:
x - how many Volvos Jane sold
y - how many Volvos Melissa sold

We write system of equations:
x = 8*y
x - y = 35
------------
8y - y = 35
7y = 35
y = 5
x = 8*5 = 40

Jane sold 40 cars.

What value of y satisfies the system of equations below?<br> 2x - y = 6<br> 2x + 3y = 14
Oksana_A [137]

Answer: y=2

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+3y=14 - 2x-y=6 = 4y=8

y=2

If you need x, just insert y into the equation and work out x from there

2x-2=6

2x=8

x=4

six friends share 5 meat pies. each friend first eats half of a meat pie. how much more meat pie does each friend need to eat to
Margaret [11]
So at the beginning, the friends eat 3 meat pies in total. So that leaves two meat pies left. 
So basically, we divide the meat pies by the number of friends.
2/6 is 1/3
So each friend needs to eat 1/3 of a meat pie

babymother [125]

Answer:

See below in bold.

Step-by-step explanation:

1.   The sequence is 1000, 2000, 4000, 8000.

2.  The common ratio  is 2000/1000 = 2.

3.   Number of bacteria after 7 hours is 1000(2)^(7- 1)

    = 64,000.

4.   1000(2)^(x-1)  > 1,000,000

2^x-1  > 1000

x- 1  log 2 > log 10

x- 1 > 9.96

x > 10.96

During the 11th hour.
