Answer:

D.) Elliott has 212 cans, Amelia has 45 cans

Step-by-step explanation:

257 = x + (5x - 12)

257 = 6x - 13

+13           +13

270 = 6x

/6        /6

45 = x     (the amount of Amelia's cans)


257 - 45 = 212  (the amount of Elliott's cans)


please rate and thank : )

A contractor combined x tons of a gravel mixture that contained 10 percent gravel G, by weight, with y tons of a mixture that co
White raven [17]

Answer:

The value of x would be \frac{3}{5}y or \frac{3}{8}z

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

x tons of 10% gravel G mixture is mixed with y ton of 2% gravel G to obtain  5% gravel mixture,

Thus, gravel G in x ton + gravel in y ton = gravel G in the resultant mixture,          

⇒ 0.1x + 0.02y = 0.05(x+y),

0.1x - 0.05x = 0.05y - 0.02y

0.05x = 0.03y

\implies x = \frac{0.03}{0.05}y=\frac{3}{5}y----(1)

Now, resultant mixture is z ton,

i.e. z=x+y

\implies y = z - x

From equation (1),

x=\frac{3}{5}(z-x) = \frac{3}{5}z-\frac{3}{5}x

x+\frac{3}{5}x=\frac{3}{5}z

\frac{8}{5}x=\frac{3}{5}z

x=\frac{3}{8}z

Solve 5x-y=5 and 2y-x^2=11 without using trial improvement
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

x = 7, y = 30  and  x = 3, y = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - y = 5, then y = 5x - 5

2y - x^2 = 11

2(5x - 5) - x^2 = 11

10x - 10 - x^2 = 11

-x^2 + 10x -10 = 11

-x^2 + 10x -21 = 0

x^2 - 10x + 21 = 0

(x - 7)(x - 3) = 0

x = 7, y = 30

x = 3, y = 10

If (-2,11)and(9,22) are two anchor points on the trend line, then find the equation of the line​
Elza [17]

Answer:

The equation of the line is y=x+13

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the slope

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

we have

(-2,11) and (9,22)

substitute

m=\frac{22-11}{9+2}

m=\frac{11}{11}

m=1

step 2

Find the equation in slope intercept form

y=mx+b

where

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

we have

m=1

point\ (-2,11)

substitute in the equation and solve for b

11=(1)(-2)+b

11=-2+b

Adds 2 both sides

b=11+2\\b=13

The equation of the line is

y=x+13
