If we let p and t be the masses of the paper and textbook, respectively, the equations that would best represent the given in this item are:
      (1)       20p + 9t = 44.4
      (2)       (20 + 5)p + (9 + 1)t = 51

The values of p and t from the equation are 0.6 and 3.6, respectively. Thus, each paperback weighs 0.6 pounds and each textbook weighs 3.6 pounds.

During one term Rachel took 2 mathematics test her mean score was 75 she scored 12 points more on the first test then the second
MaRussiya [10]

Answer: she scored 69 points on the second test.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of points that she scored in the first test.

Let y represent the number of points that she scored in the second test.

If her mean score was 75, it means that

(x + y)/2 = 75

x + y = 75 × 2

x + y = 150- - - - - - - - - 1

If she scored 12 points more on the first test than the second test, it means that

x = y + 12

Substituting x = y + 12 into equation 1, it becomes

y + 12 + y = 150

2y + 12 = 150

2y = 150 - 12

2y = 138

y = 138/2

y = 69

Complementary angles have measures (4x)° and (5x−27)°. find the measure of the larger angle.
Luda [366]

Answer:

4x=90

X=90÷4

X=22.5

5x-27=90

5x=90+27

5x=117

X=117÷5

X=23.4

So 23.4 is a larger angle

The stem-and-leaf plot shows the temperatures of patients who registered at a clinic one day. How many patients registered at th
saveliy_v [14]

As the key suggests, the left part is the integer part of the number, while the digit on the right is the decimal part of the number.

So, for example, the first row describes the two values 97.2 and 97.8, while the second row describes the values 98.1, 98.3 (repeated twice), 98.5, 98.6 and 98.7 (repeater three times).

So, the number of values is given by the number of leaves: you simply have to count how many digits are there on the right part of the screen.

The answer is thus 24
