The money Debra has is $ 316.66

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let the amount with Debra be "x"

Let the amount with Sherry be "y"

<em><u>Given that Debra and Sherry have 475 in total</u></em>

Amount with Debra + Amount with Sherry = 475

x + y = 475 -------- eqn 1

<em><u>Debra has twice as much money as sherry</u></em>

Amount with Debra = 2(amount with sherry)

x = 2y ------- eqn 2

<em><u>Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2</u></em>

<em><u>Substitute eqn 2 in eqn 1</u></em>

2y + y = 475

3y = 475

Divide both sides of equation by 3

y = 158.33

<em><u>Substitute y = 158.33 in eqn 2</u></em>

x = 2(158.33)

x = 316.66

Thus Debra has $ 316.66

The equation for the pH of a substance is pH = –log[H+], where H+ is the concentration of hydrogen ions. Which equation models t
Zanzabum

Answer:  [H+] = 10^-7.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the PH of the solution = 7.2

Using the formula pH = –log[H+]. To get the H+ concentration from the pH, raise both sides by the base of 10. Then we have

10^ -pH = H+. with pH of 7.2,

Thus the answer to this problem is

[H+] = 10^-7.2

un hotel tiene habitaciones dobles y sencillas. dispone en total de 50 habitaciones y 87 camas ¿cuántas habitaciones tiene cada
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

En el hotel hay 13 habitaciones sencillas y 37 habitaciones dobles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Un sistema de ecuaciones lineales es un conjunto de dos o más ecuaciones de primer grado, en el cual se relacionan dos o más incógnitas.

Resolver un sistema de ecuaciones consiste en encontrar el valor de cada incógnita para que se cumplan todas las ecuaciones del sistema.

En este caso, las variables que se definen son:

  • x: habitaciones simples
  • y: habitaciones dobles

Entonces, el hotel dispone en total de 50 habitaciones, por lo que se plantea la ecuación:

x + y= 50

El hotel dispone de 87 camas. La cantidad de camas por habitación puede ser expresada mediante:

x + 2*y= 87

Entonces el sistema de ecuaciones a resolver es:

\left \{ {{x+y=50} \atop {x+2*y=87}} \right.

El método de sustitución consiste en despejar o aislar una de las incógnitas, por ejemplo x , y sustituir su expresión en la otra ecuación. De este modo, obtienes una ecuación de primer grado con la otra incógnita,  y . Una vez resuelta, calculas el valor de  x  sustituyendo el valor de  y ya conocido.

En este caso, despejando x de la primer ecuación:

x= 50 -y

y reemplazando en la segunda ecuación obtienes:

50 -y + 2*y=87

-y + 2*y=87 -50

y= 37

Reemplazando en la expresión x= 50 -y obtienes:

x= 50 -37= 50-37

x= 13

Recordando que x representa la cantidad de habitaciones sencillas e y la cantidad de habitaciones dobles, <u><em>en el hotel hay 13 habitaciones sencillas y 37 habitaciones dobles.</em></u>

docker41 [41]

Answer:

  • x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The perimeters are equal:</u>

  • 12(x - 2) = 4x

<u>Solve for x:</u>

  • 12x - 24 = 4x
  • 12x - 4x = 24
  • 8x = 24
  • x = 3
