Equation #1: x+y=40

Equation #2: 7x+4y=193

Monica bought 11 red bricks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Cost of one red brick = $7

Cost of one gray brick = $4

Total spent on bricks = $193

Total bricks bought = 40

Let,

x represents the number of red bricks bought.

y represents the number of gray bricks bought.

What is the system that models this situation?

Equation #1: x+y=40

Equation #2: 7x+4y=193

How many red bricks did Monica purchase?

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 4

4(x+y=40)\\4x+4y=160\ \ \ Eqn\ 3

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2

(7x+4y)-(4x+4y)=193-160\\7x+4y-4x-4y=33\\3x=33

Dividing both sides by 3

\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{33}{3}\\x=11

Monica bought 11 red bricks.

A parking lot charges $3 to park a car for the first hour and $2 per hour after that. If you use more than one parking space, th
fenix001 [56]
Consider the charge for parking one car for t hours.

If t is more than 1, then the function is y=3+2(t-1), because 3 $ are payed for the first hour, then for t-1 of the left hours, we pay 2 $.

If t is one, then the rule y=3+2(t-1) still calculates the charge of 3 $, because substituting t with one in the formula yields 3.


75% is 75/100 or 0.75. 

For whatever number of hours t, the charge for the first car is 3+2(t-1) $, and whatever that expression is, the price for the second car and third car will be 

0.75 times 3+2(t-1). Thus, the charge for the 3 cars is given by:

3+2(t-1)+0.75[3+2(t-1)]+0.75[3+2(t-1)]=3+2(t-1)+<span>0.75 × 2[3 + 2(t − 1)].


Thus, the function which total parking charge of parking 3 cars for t hours is:

</span><span>f(t) = (3 + 2(t − 1)) + 0.75 × 2(3 + 2(t − 1))

If θ=0rad at t=0s, what is the blade's angular position at t=20s
babunello [35]
The attached figure represents the relation between ω (rpm) and t (seconds)
To find the blade's angular position in radians ⇒ ω will be converted from (rpm) to (rad/s)
              ω = 250 (rpm) = 250 * (2π/60) = (25/3)π    rad/s
              ω = 100 (rpm) = 100 * (2π/60) = (10/3)π    rad/s

and from the figure it is clear that the operation is at constant speed but with variable levels
            ⇒   ω = dθ/dt   ⇒   dθ = ω dt

            ∴    θ = ∫₀²⁰  ω dt  
 
while ω is not fixed from (t = 0) to (t =20)
the integral will divided to 3 integrals as follow;
       ω = 0                                          from t = 0  to t = 5
       ω = 250 (rpm) = (25/3)π            from t = 5   to t = 15
       ω = 100 (rpm) = (10/3)π            from t = 15 to t = 20

∴ θ = ∫₀⁵  (0) dt   + ∫₅¹⁵  (25/3)π dt + ∫₁₅²⁰  (10/3)π dt
     
the first integral = 0
the second integral = (25/3)π t = (25/3)π (15-5) = (250/3)π
the third integral = (10/3)π t = (25/3)π (20-15) = (50/3)π

∴ θ = 0 + (250/3)π + (50/3)π = 100 π

while the complete revolution = 2π
so instantaneously at t = 20
∴ θ = 100 π - 50 * 2 π = 0 rad

Which mean:
the blade will be at zero position making no of revolution = (100π)/(2π) = 50
