Let x and y be the number of packs with 100 and 250 paper clips, respectively. The system of linear equations that would best represent the given is
                                     x + y = 84
                                    100x + 250y = 12,300

The values of x and y from the equations are 58 and 26, respectively. If a person buys half of the packs of 250 paper clips,
                              n = (0.5)(250)(26) = 3250

Thus, a person bought 3250 paper clips.

A 900-kg car traveling east at 15. 0 m/s suddenly collides with a 750-kg car traveling north at 20. 0 m/s. The cars stick togeth
dexar [7]

By conservation of momentum,

(900 kg) (15.0 m/s) i + (750 kg) (20.0 m/s) j = (900 kg + 750 kg) v

where v is the velocity vector of the combined cars. Solve for v :

(13,500 i + 15,000 j) kg•m/s = (1650 kg) v

v ≈ (8.18 i + 9.09 j) m/s

Then the direction of v relative to East is θ such that

tan(θ) ≈ 9.09/8.18   ⇒   θ ≈ 48.0°

so the wreckages would move at approximately 48.0° north of east.
