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.

A system of equations is graphed on the coordinate plane.
ANTONII [103]
You have 2y=3x-1 and 4y=6x-2. first step is to get the y by itself . first equation you divide everything by 2 which gives you the equation: y= 3/2x-1/2
or y= 1.5x-.5, for the second equation you divide everything by 4, which gives you y=6/4x-2/4 (1/2) or y=1.5-.5. both equations are equal to one another: 
the answer is therefore C Infinitely many solutions.

A 12 oz bottle of shampoo last 16 weeks. How long would you expect an 18 oz bottle to last
jenyasd209 [6]
If a 12 oz bottle of shampoo lasted for 16 weeks, we have a ratio of 12:16 which can be shortened to 3:4.

Now if we have 18 oz bottle we know that it's 1/2 more than 12 oz bottle, so the ratio will be also 1/2 more. So if it was 12:16, the new ratio will be:

12 + (1/2 * 12) : 16 + (1/2 * 16)
12 + 6 : 16 + 8
18 : 24

It means that 18 oz bottle should last for 24 weeks. Of course the ratio has to stay the same in its lowest form in both situations and as 18:24 can be shortened to 3:4, it proves it's correct :)
