Answer:

Total books sold=146 books

Total magazines sold=114 magazines

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation 1

Total weekly profit=(Profit for each magazine sold×Number of magazines sold)+(Profit for each book sold×Number of books sold)

where;

Total weekly profit=$450

Profit from each magazine sold=$0.75

Number of magazines sold=y

profit from each book sold=$2.50

Number of books sold=x

Replacing;

450=(0.75×y)+(2.5×x)

0.75y+2.5x=450.....  Equation 1

Equation 2

Total number of publications sold=Total number of books sold+Total number of magazines sold

where;

Total number of publications sold=260

Total number of books sold=x

Total number of magazines sold=y

x+y=260...   Equation 2

Combine equation 1 and 2 and solve;

1(2.5x+0.75y=450)>>>>>>>>2.5x+0.75y=450

2.5(x+y=260)        >>>>>>>>2.5x+2.5y=650

Subtract equation 1 from 2

(2.5x-2.5x)+(2.5y-0.75y)=(650-450)

1.75y=200

y=200/1.75

y=114

Replacing the value for y in equation 2

x+114=260

x=260-114=146

Total books sold=146 books

Total magazines sold=114 magazines

Select the number line that shows the decimal for the following fraction.<br><br> sixth tenths
Komok [63]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

to figure this out, lets understand how decimals work

a decimal number in the tens place before the decimal

  ↓ here

0.00

that number will be the same number as the numerator or top number of a fraction in tenths

↓ here

0/10

so say it was 4/10 we needed to find, we would look on the number line for 0.40 like in answer choice B (NOT THE CORRECT ANSWER FOR THIS PROBLEM)

hope this helps you out on your work :)

Please solve these step-by-step!!
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

For D. X= 3, or 0 but probably not 0

For the 2nd picture you sent,  x= -2, or -3

Step-by-step explanation:

So for D. you want to make sure you only have 1 Variable, and since we know y=x squared + 7x+5, we subsitute y for what it is equal to.

Then we refine the question, which takes it out to

x squared-3x+5=5 (because the 7x-10x = 3x)

We subtract 5 from both sides which leaves us with x Squared - 3x= 0

Which we then solve with the Quadratic formula. and we separate the solutions to get the different answers for 3, and 0
