The college student took 13 courses of 3 credit hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total credits = 59

Total courses = 18

Let,

Number of 3 credit hour courses = x

Number of 4 credit hour courses = y

According to given statement;

x+y=18     Eqn 1

3x+4y=59   Eqn 2

We will eliminate y to find the number of 3 credit hour courses, therefore,

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 4

4(x+y=18)\\4x+4y=72\ \ \ Eqn\ 3

Subtracting Eqn 2 from Eqn 3

(4x+4y)-(3x+4y)=72-59\\4x+4y-3x-4y=13\\x=13

The college student took 13 courses of 3 credit hours.

Answer:

16) y=\frac{1}{4}x +5

17) y = -x - 4

18) y = -2x - 1

19) y = -2x

20)y=\frac{-5}{3} -3

Step-by-step explanation:

With the two points you find the slope using \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1} }

Then using that slope, plug the slope in with one of the points values of x and y into the point slope formula, and smiplify that into the y-intercept formula.

over a period of ten years Pats income rose from 15000 to 20000 round to the nearest whole number by what percentage did her inc
ludmilkaskok [199]
Original Income = 15,000
New income = 20,000

The percentage Increase in the income can be calculated as:

\frac{Change}{Original} * 100%

The change in income = 20000 - 15000 = 5000

Using the values, we get:

\frac{5000}{15000}*100%

= 33.33%

This means, Pats income increased by 33.33% in a period of ten years

Naddik [55]

Answer:

there are only 4 whole numbers whose squares and cubes have the same number of digits.

Explanations:

let 0, 1, 2 and 4∈W (where W is a whole number), then

0^2=0, 0^3=0,

1^2=1, 1^3=1,

2^2=4, 2^3=8,

4^2=16, 4^3=64.

You can see from the above that only four whole numbers are there whose squares and cubes have the same number of digits
