<h3><u><em>Question:</em></u></h3>

On the first day, a total of 40 items were sold for $356. Pies cost $10 and cakes cost $8. Define the variables, write a system of equations to find the number of cakes and pies sold, and state how many pies were sold.

<h3><em><u>Answer:</u></em></h3>

The variables are defined as:

"c" represent the number of cakes sold and "p" represent the number of pies sold

The system of equations used are:

c + p = 40 and 8c + 10p = 356

18 pies and 22 cakes were sold

<h3><em><u>Solution:</u></em></h3>

Let "c" represent the number of cakes sold

Let "p" represent the number of pies sold

Cost of 1 pie = $ 10

Cost of 1 cake = $ 8

Given that total of 40 items were sold

number of cakes + number of pies = 40

c + p = 40 ------ eqn 1

<u><em>Given items were sold for $356</em></u>

number of cakes sold x Cost of 1 cake + number of pies sold x Cost of 1 cake = 356

c \times 8 + p \times 10 = 356

8c + 10p = 356  ----- eqn 2

<u><em>Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2</em></u>

From eqn 1,

p = 40 - c    ---- eqn 3

Substitute eqn 3 in eqn 2

8c + 10(40 - c) = 356

8c + 400 - 10c = 356

-2c = - 44

c = 22

<em>Substitute c = 22 in eqn 3</em>

p = 40 - c

p = 40 - 22

p = 18

Thus 18 pies and 22 cakes were sold

Let divf = 6(5 − x) and 0 ≤ a, b, c ≤ 12. (a) find the flux of f out of the rectangular solid 0 ≤ x ≤ a, 0 ≤ y ≤ b, and 0 ≤ z ≤
dusya [7]
Continuing from the setup in the question linked above (and using the same symbols/variables), we have

\displaystyle\iint_{\mathcal S}\mathbf f\cdot\mathrm d\mathbf S=\iiint_{\mathcal R}(\nabla\cdot f)\,\mathrm dV
=\displaystyle6\int_{z=0}^{z=c}\int_{y=0}^{y=b}\int_{x=0}^{x=a}(5-x)\,\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy\,\mathrm dz
=\displaystyle6bc\int_0^a(5-x)\,\mathrm dx
=6bc\left(5a-\dfrac{a^2}2\right)=3abc(10-a)

The next part of the question asks to maximize this result - our target function which we'll call g(a,b,c)=3abc(10-a) - subject to 0\le a,b,c\le12.

We can see that g is quadratic in a, so let's complete the square.

g(a,b,c)=-3bc(a^2-10a+25-25)=3bc(25-(a-5)^2)

Since b,c are non-negative, it stands to reason that the total product will be maximized if a-5 vanishes because 25-(a-5)^2 is a parabola with its vertex (a maximum) at (5, 25). Setting a=5, it's clear that the maximum of g will then be attained when b,c are largest, so the largest flux will be attained at (a,b,c)=(5,12,12), which gives a flux of 10,800.

A graph has time (years) on the x-axis and height (inches) on the y-axis. A line goes through points (2, 3) and (4, 6).
Natalija [7]

Answer:

A, C, and D

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of change will simply be the slope of the line, which we can find by taking the change in y and dividing that by the change in x:

slope = \frac{6-3}{4-2} =\frac{3}{2}

Thus, the slope is 3/2 = 1.5.

Since the slope remains constant throughout the graph, we know that A is correct. In addition because the points 0, 2, 4, and 6 are on the graph, the rate of change between any of the two points will still be the constant 1.5, making C and D correct as well.

So, we can choose A, C, and D.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

x=70

y=75

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+x+5-35=180

3x-30=180

3x=210

x=70

2(70)-35=105

180-105=75

y=75
