Meredith is playing games at an arcade to earn tickets that she can exchange for a prize. She has 294 tickets from previous visi

t, and she earns 7 tickets for each game she plays in the equation below, x represents the number of games Meredith plays and y represents the number of tickets she needs for the prize.
y= 7x + 294

If Meredith needs 448 tickets to exchange for the prize she wants, how many games does Meredith need to play?


A. 106

B. 19

C. 64

D. 22

First, plug in 448 for y:

448=7x+294

Secondly, subtract 294 from both sides to isolate x:

154=7x

Divide both sides by 7:

22=x

Refine:

x=22

The answer is D)22

An easy way to do this is by plugging in all the answers until you get your answer
y=7(106)+294
y=742+294
y=1036
She doesn't need this many tickets to get the one prize, so this is false
y=7(19)+294
y=133+294
y=427
This cannot be true, because you need to have 448 tickets
y=7(64)+294
y=448+294
y=742
This is still over the amount of tickets that she needs, so this isn't true
y=7(22)+294
y=154+294
y=448
This is exactly the number of tickets that she needs, so this is true
So the answer is D

Ruby conducted a survey and found the 5/6 of her classmates have a pet and 2/3 of those pets are dogs.what fraction of her class
Pie
To determine the fraction of her classmates with dogs as pets, we simply multiply the two given fractions based from the survey. 

                                       Pets = (2/3)(5/6) = 5/9

Thus, there are 5/9 of Ruby;s car.

Solve these linear equations by Cramer's Rules Xj=det Bj / det A:
timurjin [86]

Answer:

(a)x_1=-2,x_2=1

(b)x_1=\frac{3}{4} ,x_2=-\frac{1}{2} ,x_3=\frac{1}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) For using Cramer's rule you need to find matrix A and the matrix B_j for each variable. The matrix A is formed with the coefficients of the variables in the system. The first step is to accommodate the equations, one under the other, to get A more easily.

2x_1+5x_2=1\\x_1+4x_2=2

\therefore A=\left[\begin{array}{cc}2&5\\1&4\end{array}\right]

To get B_1, replace in the matrix A the 1st column with the results of the equations:

B_1=\left[\begin{array}{cc}1&5\\2&4\end{array}\right]

To get B_2, replace in the matrix A the 2nd column with the results of the equations:

B_2=\left[\begin{array}{cc}2&1\\1&2\end{array}\right]

Apply the rule to solve x_1:

x_1=\frac{det\left(\begin{array}{cc}1&5\\2&4\end{array}\right)}{det\left(\begin{array}{cc}2&5\\1&4\end{array}\right)} =\frac{(1)(4)-(2)(5)}{(2)(4)-(1)(5)} =\frac{4-10}{8-5}=\frac{-6}{3}=-2\\x_1=-2

In the case of B2,  the determinant is going to be zero. Instead of using the rule, substitute the values ​​of the variable x_1 in one of the equations and solve for x_2:

2x_1+5x_2=1\\2(-2)+5x_2=1\\-4+5x_2=1\\5x_2=1+4\\ 5x_2=5\\x_2=1

(b) In this system, follow the same steps,ust remember B_3 is formed by replacing the 3rd column of A with the results of the equations:

2x_1+x_2 =1\\x_1+2x_2+x_3=0\\x_2+2x_3=0

\therefore A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&1&0\\1&2&1\\0&1&2\end{array}\right]

B_1=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&0\\0&2&1\\0&1&2\end{array}\right]

B_2=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&1&0\\1&0&1\\0&0&2\end{array}\right]

B_3=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&1&1\\1&2&0\\0&1&0\end{array}\right]

x_1=\frac{det\left(\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&0\\0&2&1\\0&1&2\end{array}\right)}{det\left(\begin{array}{ccc}2&1&0\\1&2&1\\0&1&2\end{array}\right)} =\frac{1(2)(2)+(0)(1)(0)+(0)(1)(1)-(1)(1)(1)-(0)(1)(2)-(0)(2)(0)}{(2)(2)(2)+(1)(1)(0)+(0)(1)(1)-(2)(1)(1)-(1)(1)(2)-(0)(2)(0)}\\ x_1=\frac{4+0+0-1-0-0}{8+0+0-2-2-0} =\frac{3}{4} \\x_1=\frac{3}{4}

x_2=\frac{det\left(\begin{array}{ccc}2&1&0\\1&0&1\\0&0&2\end{array}\right)}{det\left(\begin{array}{ccc}2&1&0\\1&2&1\\0&1&2\end{array}\right)} =\frac{(2)(0)(2)+(1)(0)(0)+(0)(1)(1)-(2)(0)(1)-(1)(1)(2)-(0)(0)(0)}{4} \\x_2=\frac{0+0+0-0-2-0}{4}=\frac{-2}{4}=-\frac{1}{2}\\x_2=-\frac{1}{2}

x_3=\frac{det\left(\begin{array}{ccc}2&1&1\\1&2&0\\0&1&0\end{array}\right)}{det\left(\begin{array}{ccc}2&1&0\\1&2&1\\0&1&2\end{array}\right)}=\frac{(2)(2)(0)+(1)(1)(1)+(0)(1)(0)-(2)(1)(0)-(1)(1)(0)-(0)(2)(1)}{4} \\x_3=\frac{0+1+0-0-0-0}{4}=\frac{1}{4}\\x_3=\frac{1}{4}

Find the sum or difference <br> 31/4+42/4=
Alex73 [517]

The sum of 31/4+42/4= 18.25

<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:

  • The denominators are same.
  • Then add the numerators and keep the denominators same.

The sum of (31/4) + (42/4) = (31+42)/4

⇒ 73/4

⇒ 18.25
