a. The expression y=5x represent the number of small marbles she has.
b. The expression z=3x+2 represents the number of large marbles she has.
c. Amy has 310 small marbles, 62 medium marbles and 188 large marbles.
Step-by-step explanation:
a. Let x represent the number of medium marbles Amy has. Write an algebraic expression to represent the number of small marbles she has.
Medium marbles = x
Let,
Small marbles = y
According to given statement;
She has five times as many small marbles as medium marbles.
y = 5x Eqn 1
The expression y=5x represent the number of small marbles she has.
b. Write an algebraic expression to represent the number of large marbles she has.
Let,
Large marbles = z
The number of large marbles is two more than three times the number of medium marbles.
z = 3x+2 Eqn 2
The expression z=3x+2 represents the number of large marbles she has.
c. If Amy has a total of 560 marbles, how many of each size does she have?
x+y+z= 560 Eqn 3
Putting value of y and z from Eqn 1 and 2 in Eqn 3
Dividing both sides by 9
Putting x=62 in Eqn 1
Putting x=62 in Eqn 2
Amy has 310 small marbles, 62 medium marbles and 188 large marbles.

A number in between The Indian and Atlantic ocean area would be 100,000,000 km
I think B i am not 100 sure
Answer:
The ship is located at (3,5)
Explanation:
In the first test, the equation of the position was:
5x² - y² = 20 ...........> equation I
In the second test, the equation of the position was:
y² - 2x² = 7 ..............> equation II
This equation can be rewritten as:
y² = 2x² + 7 ............> equation III
Since the ship did not move in the duration between the two tests, therefore, the position of the ship is the same in the two tests which means that:
equation I = equation II
To get the position of the ship, we will simply need to solve equation I and equation II simultaneously and get their solution.
Substitute with equation III in equation I to solve for x as follows:
5x²-y² = 20
5x² - (2x²+7) = 20
5x² - 2y² - 7 = 20
3x² = 27
x² = 9
x = <span>± </span>√9
We are given that the ship lies in the first quadrant. This means that both its x and y coordinates are positive. This means that:
x = √9 = 3
Substitute with x in equation III to get y as follows:
y² = 2x² + 7
y² = 2(3)² + 7
y = 18 + 7
y = 25
y = +√25
y = 5
Based on the above, the position of the ship is (3,5).
Hope this helps :)
The y-intercept would be (0,8) because the last number on the equation, aka the c value, is you y-intercept.
