A jeweler had a fixed amount of gold to make bracelets and necklaces. The amount of gold in each bracelet is 5 grams and the amo

unt of gold in each necklace is 22 grams. The jeweler made a total of 17 bracelets and necklaces using 238 grams of gold. Write a system of equations that could be used to determine the number of bracelets made and the number of necklaces made. Define the variables that you use to write the system.

Answer:

The jeweler made 9 necklaces.

The jeweler made 8 bracelets.

Step-by-step explanation:

x = number of bracelets

y = number of necklaces

17 = x + y

238 = 5x + 22y

Make one of the coefficients, x, the same.

17 = x + y

Multiply this equation by 5.

85 = 5x + 5y

Subtract the equations to get rid of x.

(238 = 5x + 22y) - (85 = 5x + 5y)

(5x - 5x) + (22y - 5y) = 238 - 85

22y - 5y = 238 - 85

17y = 153

y = 153/17 = 9

The jeweler made 9 necklaces. Substitute this back into one of the equations to find x.

17 = x + y

17 = x + 9

17 - 9 = x

x = 8

238 = 5x + 22y

238 = 5x + 22(9)

238 = 5x + 198

238 - 198 = 5x

40 = 5x

x = 40/5

x = 8

The jeweler made 8 bracelets.

Answer:

The area of the shaded figure is:

  • <u>20 units^2</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

To obtain the area of the shaded figure, first, you must calculate this as a rectangle, with the measurements: wide (4 units), and long (6 units):

  • Area of a rectangle = long * wide
  • Area of a rectangle = 6 * 4
  • Area of a rectangle = 24 units^2

How the figure isn't a rectangle, you must subtract the triangle on the top, so, now we calculate the area of that triangle with measurements: wide (4 units), and height (2 units):

  • Area of a triangle = \frac{wide*height}{2}
  • Area of a triangle = \frac{4*2}{2}
  • Area of a triangle =\frac{8}{2}
  • Area of a triangle = 4 units^2

In the end, you subtract the area of the triangle to the area of the rectangle, to obtain the area of the shaded figure:

  • Area of the shaded figure = Area of the rectangle - Area of the triangle
  • Area of the shaded figure = 24 units^2 - 4 units^2
  • <u>Area of the shaded figure = 20 units^2</u>

I use the name "units" because the exercise doesn't say if they are feet, inches, or another, but you can replace this in case you need it.
