X = 44/23 and y= -5/23.

We want the coefficient of one of the variables to be the same in both equations; we can multiply the top equation by 3 and the bottom equation by 2 to make the coefficients of y equal:
3(10x-4y=20) → 30x-12y=60
2(8x+6y=14) →  16x+12y=28

This is possible due to the multiplication property of equality.

Now that the coefficients of y are the same, we can add the equations together (using the addition property of equality):
30x+16x = 60+28 
46x = 88 (addition of like terms)

Divide both sides by 46:
46x/46 = 88/46 (division property of equality)
x = 88/46 = 44/23

Now we substitute x into the first equation:
10(44/23) - 4y = 20
440/23 - 4y = 20

It will be easier to solve this if we have a common denominator; 20 wholes = (20*23)/23 = 460/23;

440/23 - 4y = 460/23

Subtract 440/23 from both sides (subtraction property of equality):
440/23 - 4y - 440/23 = 460/23 - 440/23
-4y = 20/23

Divide both sides by -4 (division property of equality):
-4y/-4 = 20/23 ÷ -4/1
y = 20/23 × -1/4 = -20/92 = -5/23

<span>5t=3b+660....and ... 2t+5b=450

from the first we can see that t=(3b+660)/5 and using this value in the second...

(6b+1320)/5+5b=450 making all have common denominator..

6b+1320+25b=2250

31b=930

b=30...and since 2t+5b=450

t=150</span>

Jana And Jordan had 23 oranges Jana had 7 fewer oranges than Jordan how many oranges did each girl have
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

Jana had 8 oranges, and Jordan had 15 oranges.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, identify what you know:

1) In total, Jana and Jordan had 23 oranges.

2) Jana had 7 less oranges than Jordan.

We can create a formula, where x equals the number of oranges Jana has.

23 = x + (x + 7)

16 = x + x (subtracted 7 from both sides)

x = 8 (divided both sides by 2)

So, now we know Jana had 8 oranges, which is 7 less than Jordan.

8 + 7 = ?

? = 15

Jana had 8 oranges, while Jordan had 15, for a total of 23 oranges.

A shop sells packs of black pens, packs of red pens and packs of green pens.
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

85 pens  

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the number of green pens sold is shown below;

As the number of black pens, red pens, and green pans is 3:5:6

And, the ratio of sold of black pens, red pens, and green pans is 7:3:4

So, the ratio of pens in a number of pens is

= 3 × 7 : 5 × 3 : 4 × 6

= 21: 15 : 24

= 7: 5 : 8

And, the total of 212 pens are sold

So, the number of green pens sold is

= 8 × 212 ÷ (7 + 5 + 8)

= 85 pens

Determine if the sequence (cosn/ n) converges or diverges. tell if it is absolutely or conditionally convergent
nevsk [136]
. The series is divergent. To see this, first observe that the series ∑ 1/kn for n = 1 to ∞ is divergent for any integer k ≥ 2. 

Now, if we pick a large integer for k, say k > 100, then for nearly all integers n it will be true that 1 > cos(n) > 1/k. Therefore, since ∑ 1/kn is divergent, ∑ cos(n)/n must also be divergent The *summation* is divergent, but the individual terms converge to the number 0.<span>by comparison test since cosn/n <= 1/n is convergent and 1/n is divergent by harmonic series so the series is conditionally converget </span>
