Answer:

3 more students need to sign up

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the equal number of students in 9 teams be x.

Total number of signed up students = 690.

Let t be the required number of students to be signed.

Therefore, 9x = 690+t.

This means, 690+t is a multiple of 9.

The least value of t to make 690+t, a multiple of 9 is 3 and hence,

\frac{693}{9}

= 77

Hence, 3 more students need to sign up and each of the 9 teams consists of 77 students.

Mrs Tan bought 4 times as many pens as notebooks and each notebook cost $8.20 more than each pen. She spent $26 more on the book
lilavasa [31]
Let x be the cost of 1 pen
then cost of 1 notebook = x + 8.20

Let y be the number of pens Tan buys
then number of notebooks Tan buys = y/4

She spent $26 more on books than on pens which means

Cost of notebooks - Cost of pens = 26
(x + 8.20) * y/4 - xy = 26

Sinplifying it

(xy + 8.20y)/4 - xy = 26
(xy + 8.20y - 4xy)/4 = 26
8.20y - 3xy = 104

She spent $394 which means

Cost of notebooks + Cost of pens = 394
(x + 8.20) * y/4 + xy = 394

Simplifying it

(xy + 8.20y)/4 + xy = 394
(xy + 8.20y + 4xy)/4 = 394
8.20y + 5xy = 1576

Now, we have two equations,

(1) 8.20y - 3xy = 104
(2) 8.20y + 5xy = 1576

Now we need to find a third equation with either x or y as the subject of any of both the previous equations.

Let's make y the subject of (2) equation

8.20y + 5xy = 1576
y(8.20 + 5X) = 1576
(3) y = 1576/(8.20 + 5x)

Let's substitute the new value of y from (3) into (1) because we rearranged (2) to from (3)

8.20y - 3xy = 104
y(8.20 - 3x) = 104
y = 104/(8.20 - 3x)
1576/(8.20 + 5x) = 104/(8.20 - 3x)
1576 * (8.20 - 3x) = 104 * (8.20 + 5x)
12923.2 - 4728x = 852.8 + 520x
12923.2 - 852.8 = 4728x + 520x
12070.4 = 5248x
12070.4/5248 = x
x = 2.3

Now find the value of y by substituting the value of x in either equation, preferably (3)

y = 1576/(8.20 + 5x)
y = 1576/(8.20 + 5 * (2.3))
y = 80

Therefore cost of 1 notebook = x + 8.20 = 2.3 + 8.20 = $10.50

If NTM is congruent to OUM, SP is congruent to SQ, S is the center of the circle, and OM = 18, find NT. Round the answer to the
Aleks [24]
OM=18, so OQ=QM=18/2=9.
 Given QU=8
from figure OQU is a right angled triangle , so OU^2=OQ^2 + QU^2
OU^2 = 9*9 + 8*8 = 81+72=153;
OU=sqrt(153) = 12.37 =13(approx);
From given statements of congruent NT and OU will also be congruent or identical. So, NT=OU=13

Pip was thinking of a number. Pip halves the number and gets an answer of 87.2. Form an
jeyben [28]

Answer:

x/2=87.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Pip was thinking of a number - Let's call this number x

Pip halve the number - So half of x = x/2  (or 1/2 x)

And gets an answer of 87.2  - x/2=87.2

So your equation would be x/2=87.2

I hope this helps :)
