Answer:

\large \boxed{\textbf{Bowl = 300 g; cup = 200 g}}  

Step-by-step explanation:

 Let b  = the mass of a bowl  

and c = the mass of a cup  

We have two conditions:  

\begin{array}{lrcl}(1) &2b + c  & = & 800\\(2) & b + 2c & = & 700\\\end{array}

Calculations:  

\begin{array}{lrcll}(3) & 4b + 2c &=  & 1600&\text{ Multiplied (1) by 2}\\& 3b & = & 900&\text{Subtracted (2) from (3)}\\(4) & b & = & \mathbf{300}&\text{Divided each side by 3}\\ & 600 + c & = & 800&\text{Substituted (4) into (2}\\ & c & = & \mathbf{200}\\\end{array}\\\text{The mass of a bowl  is $\large \boxed{\textbf{300 g}}$ and that of a cup is $\large \boxed{\textbf{200 g}}$}

Check:

\begin{array}{rlcrl}2(300) + 200& =800 & & 300 + 2(200) & = 700\\600 + 200 & = 800& & 300 + 400 & = 700\\800 & = 800& & 700 & = 700\\\end{array}

OK.

3. A piece of white oak has a densityof 0.77 g/cm and a mass of 100 g,what would be the volume of thesample? PLEASE HELP!
Nezavi [6.7K]
\text{Volume}=129.87cm^3

Explanation

Step 1

the density of an object is given by:

\text{density}=\text{ }\frac{mass}{\text{volume}}

Step 2

let

\begin{gathered} \text{density}=0.77\frac{g}{cm^3} \\ \text{mass}=\text{ 100 g} \\  \end{gathered}

Step 3

replace,

\begin{gathered} \text{density}=\text{ }\frac{mass}{\text{volume}} \\ 0.77\frac{g}{cm^3}=\frac{100g}{\text{volume}} \\ \text{volume}\cdot0.77\frac{g}{cm^3}=\text{1}00\text{ g} \\  \\ \text{Volume}=\frac{100\text{ g}}{0.77\frac{g}{cm^3}} \\ \text{Volume}=129.87cm^3 \end{gathered}

I hope this helps you

What is the equation of a circle with center (−8, 3) and radius 8?
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

x^2 + y^2 + 16x + 6y + 9 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the formula for equation of a circle

(x - a)^2 + (y + b)^2 = r^2

(a, b) - the center

r - radius of the circle

Inserting the values given in the question

(-8,3) and r = 8

a - -8

b - 3

r - 8

[ x -(-8)]^2 + (y+3)^2 = 8^2

(x + 8)^2 + (y + 3)^2 = 8^2

Solving the brackets

( x + 8)(x + 8) + (y +3)(y+3) = 64

x^2 + 16x + 64 + y^2 + 6y + 9 = 64

Rearranging algebrally,.

x^2 + y^2 + 16x + 6y + 9+64 - 64 = 0

Bringing in 64, thereby changing the + sign to -

Therefore, the equation of the circle =

x^2 + y^2 + 16x + 6y + 9 = 0

What is the value of x?<br><br> Enter your answer in the box. <br><br> x = ___
lapo4ka [179]
Answer:

x=8

Explanation:

The picture tells us that the triangle is equilateral (this means that each angle is 60°). We can assume this because each side has been marked with the same line.

Because each angle is equal to 60°, this means that:

7x+4=60

Now solve for x:

7x=56
x=8
