<u>the correct question is</u>
The denarius was a unit of currency in ancient rome. Suppose it costs the roman government 10 denarii per day to support 4 legionaries and 4 archers. It only costs 5 denarii per day to support 2 legionaries and 2 archers. Use a system of linear equations in two variables. Can we solve for a unique cost for each soldier?
Let
x-------> the cost to support a legionary per day
y-------> the cost to support an archer per day
we know that
4x+4y=10 ---------> equation 1
2x+2y=5 ---------> equation 2
If you multiply equation 1 by 2
2*(2x+2y)=2*5-----------> 4x+4y=10
so
equation 1 and equation 2 are the same
The system has infinite solutions-------> Is a consistent dependent system
therefore
<u>the answer is</u>
We cannot solve for a unique cost for each soldier, because there are infinite solutions.
3. (a)
Add the three totals.
Total sales for all three: $2030 + $1540 + $1800 = $5370
Now divide each person's sales by the total sales to find each person's fraction of the sales.
Lola: 2030/5370
Ahmed: 1540/5370
Tommy: 1800/5370
3. (b)
Multiply each fraction from part (a) by $100.
Lola: 2030/5370 * $100 = $37.80
Ahmed: 1540/5370 = $28.67
Tommy: 1800/5370 = $33.52
Answer:
w=3
Step-by-step explanation:
(w+3)x2=4w
2w+6=4w
2w+6-6=4w-6
2w-4w=4w-6-4w
-2w=-6
-2w/2 = -6/2
w=3
Answer:
2967 yes votes
Step-by-step explanation:
Welcome to Brainly!
One way of doing this problem follows:
Find the ratio, r, mentioned in the problem statement. To do this,
write the equation 3r + 5r = 7912 and solve this for r:
8r = 7912, so that r = 989.
Then the number of yes votes was 3(989), or 2967, and the number of no votes was 5(989), or 4947.
check: Does the ratio 2967/4947 equal 3/5? yes.
There were 2967 yes votes.
The answer is : 1:6 repeating
