C= 20-0.75x
c= 20-0.75(9)
c= 20-6.75
c= 13.25
Here c is the amount of change and x is the number of books bought.
The customer's change will be $13.25
Angle KMQ and angle RNL are on apposite sides of the transversal and between above and below (exterior to) the parallel lines, so they are alternate exterior angles. Theorem - Alternate exterior angles formed by parallel lines and a transversal have the same measure.
Multiply all terms in the first equation by 2 and all terms in the second by 3.
You should obtain:
6x + 16y = 34
-6x + 27y = 9
------------------
43y =43, and so y = 1. Subbing 1 for y in the first eq'n, we get
3x + 8(1) = 17, or 3x = 9, or x = 3.
The solution is (3, 1).
Answer:
The smaller number is 127
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets write the given problem in equation form
sum of consecutive numbers n and n + 1 = n + n + 1 = 2n + 1
now we find twice of the sum of consecutive numbers n and n + 1
2*(2n + 1) = 4n + 2
given that
twice the sum of consecutive numbers n and n + 1 is 510
thus,
4n + 2 = 510
=> 4n = 510 -2 = 508
=> n = 508/4 = 127
Thus, the numbers are n = 127
n+1 = 127 + 1 = 128
the smaller number is 127
Round all of the numbers to the nearest 10 then solve the problem like normal
