3 costumes can be made from 15 feet of fabric

Step-by-step explanation:

The proportion can be sued to solve the following problem

Given

Total fabric = 40 feet

Costumes = 8

Fabric = 15 feet

Costumes = ?

Let x be the number of costumes that can be made with 15 feet of fabric

Fabric:Costumes::Fabric:costumes\\40:8::15:x\\\frac{40}{8} = \frac{15}{x}\\40x = 15*8\\40x = 120

Dividing both sides by 40

\frac{40x}{40} = \frac{120}{40}\\x = 3

Hence,

3 costumes can be made from 15 feet of fabric

Find X:
38=(3x+4)+(5x-6)
combine like terms
38=8x-2
add 2 to both sides
40=8x
divide both sides by 8
5=x
Find AB:
16=3x+4
subtract 4 from both sides
12=3x
divide by 3
4=x
Find BC:
16=5x-6
add 6 to both sides
22=5x
divide both sides by 5

If country A has 161,500 million more computers than country B and the total number of computers for both countries is 321,050 m
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

b has 79,775 million

a has 241,275 million

Step-by-step explanation:

a has more than b

b+161,500 is a

b=b

b+b+161,500=321,050

2b=321,050-161,500

2b=159,550

b=159,550/2

b=79,775

a=b+161,500

a=79,775+161,500

a=241,275

x + y + z = 10

Jessica downloaded five times as many pop songs, twice as many rock schgs, and three times as many hip hop songs as Mark. She downloaded 28 songs total.

5x + 2y + 3z = 28

Nate downloaded 20 songs total with three times as many pop songs, three times as many rock songs, and the same number of hip hop songs as Mark.

Nate:

3x + 3y + z = 20

The following system of equations represents their music choices
