Answer:

{0,1,3,4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, total no of slices=8.

Total no of friends=4.

also each friend didnt ate more than the other three.

let a,b,c,d be no of slices ate by the friends 1,2,3,4 respectively.

given sum of a+b+c+d=8.

now applying the second condition

a\leq b+c+d \\b\leq c+d+a\\c\leq a+b+d\\d\leq a+b+c

so each of a,b,c,d must be less than or equal to 4.

which means 5 values are possible{0,1,2,3,4}.from this set you have to select 4 values such that their sum is 8.hence, those values are {0,1,3,4}.

Answer:

0,1,3,4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given <u>each friend ate different number of slices</u> and also slices are not divided

therefore assume w,x,y,z are the number of slices each friend got

w<x<y<z

z cannot be more than 4 as the no of remaining slices then will be less than 4

But its given no friend ate more than the other 3 put together

So by trial and error

z≤4,assume z=4

the y can ≤ 3

so possible outcomes (z=4,y=3,x=1,w=0)

x cannot be equal to one as the sum would exceed 8

this is the only possible outcome for z=4

for z=3

possible outcomes=(z=3,y=2,x=1,w=0) this is not possible as the sum is 6 but not 8

there is no use going less than z=3 as the sum would be lesser than 6

⇒ only one possible outcome z=4,y=3,x=1,w=0

PLS HELP Leo is looking at two different savings plans. The first plan requires an initial deposit of $500 and grows at an annua
White raven [17]

Answer:

First and Second option choices

Step-by-step Explanation:

1st case:

Initial deposit (P) = 500

Annual interest rate (r) = 2.5%

Account balance after x years, y = P(1+r/100)×

y = 500(1+2.5/100)×

y = 500(1+0.025)×

y = 500(1.025)×

2nd case:

Initial deposit (P) = 400

Annual interest rate (r) = 2%

Account balance after x years, y = P(1+r/100)×

y = 400(1+2/100)×

y = 400(1+0.02)×

y = 400(1.02)×

How many solutions does this linear system of equations have?<br> x – 3y = 5<br> -3x + 9y = -7
Angelina_Jolie [31]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  zero

Step-by-step explanation:

Dividing the second equation by -3, it becomes ...

  x -3y = 7/3

Compared to the first equation, ...

  x -3y = 5

we see that it is <em>inconsistent</em>. No values of the variables can satisfy both equations. There are no solutions.

First you wanna distribute the 3 to x and 4
So the problem will then be 3x+12= 27
Then you wanna subtract 12 from 27
You get 3x = 15
Now you wanna divide 3x and 15 by 3
You then get X = 5

Pleased Help!! Need explained!
Artemon [7]

Answer:

Problem 1: n = 16

Problem 2: n = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Problem 1:

-3n + 48 = 0

We solve the equation for n.

First, subtract 48 from both sides.

-3n = -48

Now divide both sides by -3. This cancels out the negative on both sides:

n = 16

-2n + 10 -5n = 17

First, combine the terms with n:

-7n + 10 = 17

Now, combine the numbers that don't have n (subtract 10 from both sides).

-7n = 7

n = -1
