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.

What is the constant variation in the equation 3y=6x? Explain. PLEASE HELP IM DESPERATE
lbvjy [14]
Hi Desperate!

anyways the equation for constant variation is y=kx
3y=6x is it, but we don't want the 3.
so we divide on both sides to cancel out the 3.
y=2x

Which graph can be used to find the solution(s) to 4x=-4x?
Elden [556K]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The graph is shown in the Figure below

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

In this exercise, we have an equation. On the left side we have a straight line with slope m=4 and there is no any y-intercept. On the right side, on the other had, we also have a straight line, but the slope here is  m=-4. Therefore, by plotting these two straight lines, we have that the solution is the origin, that is, the point (0, 0).

Standard for<br> ola (y + 3)2 = -12(x - 2), iden<br> 1.<br> D<br> n111
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Your question is a bit unclear, so I'm going to assume you want the value of y or x:

(y+3)^2=-12(x-2)

-(y+3)^2/12=x-2

-(y+3)^2/12+2=x

(y+3)^2=-12(x-2)

y+3=sqrt(-12x+24)

y=sqrt(-12x+24)-3
