A worker is installing blue and white square tiles in a kitchen. Blue tiles have different lengths than white tiles. A row of 8

blue tiles and 16 white tiles has a length of 39 inches. A row of 40 blue tiles and 8 white tiles has a length of 42 inches. Write a system of equations that represents in inches the relationship between the length of a blue tile and the length of a white tile.

8x+16y = 39 and 40x+8y = 42 are the system of equations that represents in inches the relationship between the length of a blue tile and the length of a white tile.

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

Let 'x' be the inches of a blue tile.

Let 'y' be the inches of a white tile.

8x+16y = 39 -------(1)

40x+8y = 42 -------(2)

Multiply eqn(2) by 2 and subtract it from eqn(1)

8x+16y = 39

(-) <u>80x+16y = 84</u>

<u>-72x = -45 </u>

⇒ x = -45/-72

⇒ x = 5/8

∴ Blue tile is 5/8 inches.

substitute x=5/8 in eqn(1)

⇒ 8(5/8) + 16y = 39

⇒ 16y = 39-5

⇒ y =34/16

⇒ y = 17/8

∴ White tile is 17/8 inches.

Is there are 4 more girls than boys in ms. Raubs class of 28 students what is the ratio of girls to boys

Viefleur [7K]

The ratio of girls to boys would be 16:12 because if you divide 28 by 2 you get 14. subtract 2 to on one of them and add the two to the other. You get 12 and 16. There is a difference of 4 to them and when you add them together you get 28. :)

For what value is a is (a,9) a solution of the equation y=2x+1

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

a = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 2x + 1 ......(1)

Going through y - y1 = m(x - x1)

m is slope and it is 2

y1 = 9 and x1 = a

y - 9 = 2(x - a)

y - 9 = 2x - 2a

y = 2x - 2a + 9 ........(2)

Equating (1) and (2)

2x + 1 = 2x - 2a + 9

Collecting like terms

2x - 2x + 2a = 9 - 1

2a = 8

a = 8/2

a = 4

Any of these questions please

maw [93]

Answer:

See the explanation below.

Step-by-step explanation:

$f(t)=21020\left(1+0.012\right)^t\\\\f(t)=21020\left(1.012\right)^t\\$

Starting from $t=2002$

By putting $t=2015-2002=13$ we have:

$f(t)=21020\left(1.012\right)^{13}\\\\\approx 24546$
