Answer:
The correct answer is 218 math textbooks and 259 sociology textbooks.
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem, we can make a system of equations. Let the number of sociology textbooks sold be represented by the variable "s" and the number of math textbooks sold be represented by the variable "m". Using these variables, we can make two equations:
s + m = 477
m + 41 = s
There are many ways to solve this system of equations. One approach we can take is substituting the value for s given by the second equation into the first equation. This is modeled below.
s + m = 477
(m + 41) + m = 477
Combining like terms on the left side of the equation yields:
2m + 41 = 477
Subtracting 41 from both sides of the equation gives us:
2m = 436
Finally, dividing both sides of the equation by 2 gives us:
m = 218
To solve for the number of sociology textbooks, we can substitute into either of our original equations.
m + 41 = s
(218) + 41 = s
s = 259
Therefore, your answer is m = 218 and s = 259, or 218 math textbooks and 259 sociology textbooks were sold.
Hope this helps!
Answer: $2.08
Step-by-step explanation: First multiply $52 by 4% as a decimal or 0.04. Then, multiply that by the number of years.
=52(0.04)(1)
=2.08
You multiply five by 3.75 and you get 18.75 ft. to get yards you divide by three and you get 6.25 yards
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
12/5
Discussion:
Note that 10 is a common denominator of both denominators:
9/5 = (9*2)/(5*2) = 18/10
- ( -6/10) = + (6/10)
So the original problem is equivalent to
18/10 + 6/10 =
(18 +6)/10 =
24/10 =
(2*12)/ (2*5) => cancelling the common factor "2"
12/5 =
2 and 2 fifths =
22/5 (though this looks like (22)/5!)
Thank you,

Answer:
f(x) = -1.18056x² +9.55556x -12.4604
Step-by-step explanation:
As required by the problem statement, technology was used to find the polynomial function that passes through the given points. The coefficients shown above are rounded to 6 significant figures. The exact coefficients appear to be ...
f(x) = (-1 13/72)x² +(9 5/9)x -(12 221/480)
