Let x be the number of cans bought and y the number of brush bought.

He spent $25 on each can, so $25x per x cans.
He spent $12.75 on each brush, so $12.75y on y brushes.
In total, he spent $327.

From those information, we can get the equation:
25x + 12.75y = 327.

Hope this helps! :D

Hello,

x = The number of cans of paint.

y = number of brushes.

25x + 12.75y = 327

Thanks,

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

the answer is 3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the volume formula, V =1/2 bhl to find the height of the tent

the volume is $36^{3}$ . The base is 4 and the length is 6 feet

36=1/2 ⋅4⋅h⋅6

36=12h

3=h

The height of <em>the tent is 3 feet.</em>

Solve by setting up a system of linear equations with 2 variables and 2 unknowns. Two hundred seventy six students enrolled in a

jeyben [28]

Let us say ,

x=number of students who passed

y=number of students who failed

total number of students =276

x+y=276..................(1)

We are given 5 times the number of students passed as failed.

x=5y.............(2)

plugging value of x from (2) in (1),

5y+y=276

6y=276

y=46

x=5y=46*5=230

x=number of students who passed=230

Prove A-(BnC) = (A-B)U(A-C), explain with an example

NikAS [45]

Answer:

Prove set equality by showing that for any element $x$ , $x \in (A \backslash (B \cap C))$ if and only if $x \in ((A \backslash B) \cup (A \backslash C))$ .

Example:

$A = \lbrace 0,\, 1,\, 2,\, 3 \rbrace$ .

$B = \lbrace0,\, 1 \rbrace$ .

$C = \lbrace0,\, 2 \rbrace$ .

$\begin{aligned} & A \backslash (B \cap C) \\ =\; & \lbrace 0,\, 1,\, 2,\, 3 \rbrace \backslash \lbrace 0 \rbrace \\ =\; & \lbrace 1,\, 2,\, 3 \rbrace \end{aligned}$ .

$\begin{aligned}& (A \backslash B) \cup (A \backslash C) \\ =\; & \lbrace 2,\, 3\rbrace \cup \lbrace 1,\, 3 \rbrace \\ =\; & \lbrace 1,\, 2,\, 3 \rbrace\end{aligned}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Proof for $[x \in (A \backslash (B \cap C))] \implies [x \in ((A \backslash B) \cup (A \backslash C))]$ for any element $x$ :

Assume that $x \in (A \backslash (B \cap C))$ . Thus, $x \in A$ and $x \not \in (B \cap C)$ .

Since $x \not \in (B \cap C)$ , either $x \not \in B$ or $x \not \in C$ (or both.)

If $x \not \in B$ , then combined with $x \in A$ , $x \in (A \backslash B)$ .
Similarly, if $x \not \in C$ , then combined with $x \in A$ , $x \in (A \backslash C)$ .

Thus, either $x \in (A \backslash B)$ or $x \in (A \backslash C)$ (or both.)

Therefore, $x \in ((A \backslash B) \cup (A \backslash C))$ as required.

Proof for $[x \in ((A \backslash B) \cup (A \backslash C))] \implies [x \in (A \backslash (B \cap C))]$ :

Assume that $x \in ((A \backslash B) \cup (A \backslash C))$ . Thus, either $x \in (A \backslash B)$ or $x \in (A \backslash C)$ (or both.)

If $x \in (A \backslash B)$ , then $x \in A$ and $x \not \in B$ . Notice that $(x \not \in B) \implies (x \not \in (B \cap C))$ since the contrapositive of that statement, $(x \in (B \cap C)) \implies (x \in B)$ , is true. Therefore, $x \not \in (B \cap C)$ and thus $x \in A \backslash (B \cap C)$ .
Otherwise, if $x \in A \backslash C$ , then $x \in A$ and $x \not \in C$ . Similarly, $x \not \in C \!$ implies $x \not \in (B \cap C)$ . Therefore, $x \in A \backslash (B \cap C)$ .

Either way, $x \in A \backslash (B \cap C)$ .

Therefore, $x \in ((A \backslash B) \cup (A \backslash C))$ implies $x \in A \backslash (B \cap C)$ , as required.
