Remember that 45%=45/100=0.45

So if the tennis player serves the ball 300 times, and 45% cannot be returned, then we can use the following expression to solve for the answer:

300*0.45=135serves

Answer: 135 serves will not be returned

Solve the system of equations by substitution. 3/8 x + 1/3 y =17/24 and <br> x + 7y = 8

goblinko [34]

$\left \{ {{ \frac{3}{8}x+ \frac{1}{3}y = \frac{17}{14} } \atop {x+7y=8}} \right.$

To solve this system by substitution, first isolate x in the second equation.

$x+7y=8$
$x+7y-7y=8-7y$
$x=8-7y$

Now, plug this expression ( $8-7y$ ) for x in the top equation to solve for y.

$\frac{3}{8} (8-7y)+ \frac{1}{3} y= \frac{17}{14}$
$3- \frac{21}{8} y+ \frac{1}{3} y= \frac{17}{24}$
$72-63y+8y=17$
$72-55y=17$
$-55y=17-72$
$-55y=-55$
$y=1$

Now that you have y, plug it into the second equation and solve for x.

$x+7y=8$
$x+7(1)=8$
$x+7=8$
$x=1$

Last step is to plug your x- and y-values in to both equations to check your work.

$\frac{3}{8} (1)+ \frac{1}{3} y= \frac{17}{24}$

$\frac{3}{8} * \frac{3}{3} = \frac{9}{24} ; \frac{1}{3} * \frac{8}{8} = \frac{8}{24}$

$\frac{9}{24} + \frac{8}{24} = \frac{17}{24}$ <--True

$1+7(1)=8$
$1+7=8$ <--True

Answer:
$x=1 \\ y=1$

Angelo and Deborah are landscapers. Angelo charges a one time fee of $50 plus $15 per hour. Deborah charges a one time fee of $2

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:'

given data

Angelo charges a one time fee of $50 plus $15 per hour

let the total charge be y

and the number of hours be x

y= 50+15x----------------1

Deborah charges a one time fee of $25 plus $20 per hour

y= 25+20x----------------2

equate 1 and 2 to find x

50+15x=25+20x

collect like terms

50-25= 20x-15x

25= 5x

divide both sides by 5

x= 25/5

x= 5 hours
