Answer:

D.5

Step-by-step explanation:

You can write the following equations from the information given:

y=x+3 (1)

11x+5y=47 (2)

x is the number of hardback books

y is the number of paperback books

You can replace (1) in (2):

11x+5(x+3)=47

11x+5x+15=47

16x=47-15

16x=32

x=32/16

x=2

Then, you can replace the value of x in (1) to find the value of y:

y=2+3

y=5

According to this, the answer is that Jamal bought 5 paperback books.

Fynjy0 [20]
The correct answer is C) 900

To begin with, you need to divide the number of days in a year with the number of dogs. When you do this, you multiply it by 50 to get the final answer. In this case, it would be 365 / 20 which when multiplied by 50 gives the number of C) 900 since it's "about" 20 days.

the first term of an arithmetic sequence is 10 and the sum of the first five terms is 250,find the sequence​
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

The  sequence  is:

10, 30, 50, 70, 90.....................

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

First term (a) = 10

Common difference (d) = ?

Sum of first 5 terms (S_{5}) = 250

or, \frac{n}{2} [{2a+(n-1)d}] = 250

or, \frac{5}{2} [2*10 + 4d]=250

or, \frac{5}{2} * 4[5+d]=250

or, 10(5 + d) =250

or, 5 + d = 25

∴ d = 20

Now,

2nd term = a + d = 10 + 20 = 30

3rd term = a + 2d = 10 + 2*20 = 10 + 40 = 50

4th term = a + 3d = 10 + 3*20 = 10 + 60 = 70

5th term = a + 4d = 10 + 4*20 = 10 + 80 = 90

A bag contains 10 red marbles, 15 yellow marbles and 5 green marbles. What is the probability of drawing a red or green marble f
Volgvan
Probability = 

             (number of ways it can come out the way you want)
divided by
             (total number of ways it can come out).

Total number of ways to draw a marble = 30 (marbles in the bag).

Number of ways it can succeed = 15 (number of red or green ones)

Probability = 15/30 = 1/2 = 50% .
