Let the daily played number of pop songs be P, the number of rock songs be R and the number of hip-hop songs be H.

i) 
"A radio station plays a total of 272 pop, rock, and hip-hop songs during a day"

means that : P+R+H=272

ii) 
"The number of pop songs is 3 times the number of rock songs. "

so, P=3R

iii)
"The number of hip-hop songs is 32 more than the number of rock songs."

means: H=32+R

iv)

since both P and H can be written in terms of R, we have:

P+R+H=272

(3R)+R+(32+R)=272

3R+R+32+R=272

5R+32=272

5R=272-32=240

R=240/5=48


vi) 

thus: P=3R=3*48=144,    H=32+R= 32+48=80

Answer: 

48 Rock, 144 Pop and 80 Hip-hop

A lookout tower is 16 meters tall. Its shadow is 12 meters long. Close by, there is a wooden column that is 4 meters tall. How l
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

3 metres

Step-by-step explanation:

If we draw this out, we'll see that there are actually two similar right triangles (see attachment), which means that we can set up a proportion.

The height of the lookout tower corresponds to the height of the wooden column, while the shadow of the lookout tower corresponds to the shadow of the wooden column. We can then write:

(height of lookout tower) / (shadow of tower) = (height of column) / (shadow of column)

16 / 12 = 4 / x , where x is the shadow / unknown we want to find

Cross-multiply:

16x = 48

x = 3

The answer is thus 3 metres.

Solve the system
konstantin123 [22]
Use substitution. 

y = 2 - x and y = 4x + 7 can become

2 - x = 4x + 7

Now solve for x

-5 = 5x

-1 = x

Now plug -1 for x in either equation.

y = 2 - x -> y = 2 - (-1) -> y = 3
y = 4x + 7 -> y = 4*-1 + 7 -> y = -4 + 7 -> y = 3

So C) is the correct answer.

x/3 = 12/x

x^2 = 3 * 12

x^2 = 36
