Let us assume that the number of beige tiles bought by Susan = B
Number of red tiles bought by Susan = R
Number of navy-blue tiles bought by Susan =N
Number of tiles bought altogether = 435
Now from the given question we know:
Number of red tiles bought is 25 more than the number of beige tiles.
So
 R = 25 + B
Number of navy blue tiles bought is 3 times that of the number of beige tile bought
So
N = 3B
We already know that the total number of tiles bought is 435
Hence
B + R + N = 435
B + (25 + B) + 3B = 435
5B + 25 = 435
5B = 435 -25
5B = 410
B = 82
R = 25 + B
   = 25 + 82
   = 107
N = 3B
   = 3 * 82
   = 246
So the number of Beige tiles  bought by Susan = 82
The number of red tiles bought by Susan = 107
The number of navy-blue tiles bought by Susan = 246

What are the solutions to the nonlinear system of equations below?
Sonbull [250]
Substitute y=4x to the second equation:

x^2 + (4x)^2 = 17
x^2 + 16x^2 = 17
17x^2 = 17
x^2 = 17/17
x^2 = 1
x = 1 and -1

When x=1, y=4(1) = 4
When x=-1, y=4(-1) = -4

Thus the solutions would be (1,4) and (-1,-4). That would correspond to D. and A.

Subtract and write out in minutes and seconds 87 seconds from 100 seconds
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

  00:13  mm:ss

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 60 seconds in a minute. This fact can be used to convert the time period(s) to minutes and seconds either before or after you do the subtraction.

<h3>Difference</h3>

It is often convenient to do arithmetic with all of the numbers having the same units. Here, we are given two values in seconds and asked for their difference.

  100 s - 87 s = (100 -87) s = 13 s

The difference between the two time periods is 0 minutes and 13 seconds.

<h3>Conversion</h3>

If you like, the numbers can be converted to minutes and seconds before the subtraction. Since there are 60 seconds in a minute, the number of minutes is found by dividing seconds by 60. The remainder is the number of seconds that will be added to the time in minutes:

  87 seconds = ⌊87/60⌋ minutes + (87 mod 60) seconds

  = 1 minute 27 seconds

  100 seconds = ⌊100/60⌋ minutes + (100 mod 60) seconds

  = 1 minute 40 seconds

Then the difference is found in the same way we would find a difference involving different variables. (A unit can be treated as though it were a variable.)

  (1 min 40 s) -(1 min 27 s) = (1 -1 min) + (40-27 s) = 0 min 13 s

The difference between the two time periods is 0 minutes and 13 seconds.

Let $r$ and $s$ be the roots of $3x^2 + 4x + 12 = 0.$ Find $r^2 + s^2.$ Pls help.
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

-56/9

Step-by-step explanation:

By Vieta's formulas,

$r + s = -\frac{4}{3}$ and $rs = \frac{12}{3} = 4.$ Squaring the equation $r + s = -\frac{4}{3},$ we get

$r^2 + 2rs + s^2 = \frac{16}{9}.$ Therefore,

$r^2 + s^2 = \frac{16}{9} - 2rs = \frac{16}{9} - 2 \cdot 4 = -\frac{56}{9}}$
