The least possible number of coins Pirate Jack has, is 81 coins.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

When the coins are divided into 7 equal piles, 4 coins are left.

When the coins are divided into 11 equal piles, 4 coins are left.

We will take LCM of both 7 and 11.

7 = 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63, 70, 77, ....

11 = 11, 22, 33, 44, 55, 66, 77, 88, ...

The least common multiple of 7 and 11 is 77.

As 4 coins are left, therefore, we will add those coins.

Total possible coins = 77+4 = 81

The least possible number of coins Pirate Jack has, is 81 coins.

Larry's Lemons is a street vendor business that sells lemonade and lemon bars. A cup of lemonade sells for $2 and a lemon bar se
maxonik [38]

We can let x and y represent cups of lemonade and numbers of lemon bars, respectively. Then the constraints are ...

  • x ≥ 150
  • y ≥ 0
  • 2x +1.5y ≥ 500
  • 0.25x +0.20y ≤ 100

A graph is shown in the attachment, with the ordered pairs plotted. It is not feasible to sell half cups of lemonade or half lemon bars, so the second and third choices must be excluded. The point (160, 110) falls outside the feasible region, so is not a correct choice.

The correct choices are ...

  • (150, 200)
  • (180, 100)

Both because 2 x 3 is 6 2x2 is 4 and you get 4/6 so both have the same amount of vegetables

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute y=2x in the first equation into the second.

The second equation then becomes;

x = -(2x)+6

x = -2x+6

Collectiing like terms, more -2x to the left,

x+2x =6

3x=6

x=\frac{6}{3}

x= 2
