Answer:

PR = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

P-----------Q-----------R----------S

ratio

4:2:1

PS = 14

add the ration = 4 + 2 + 1 = 7

14 / 7 = 2

PQ at 4 x 2 = 8

QR at 2 x 2 = 4

RS at 1 x 2 =  2

              ------------

                   14

PR = PQ + QR

PR = 8 + 4

PR = 12

The total cost to stay one night at sleepyhead motel is $119 without breakfast and $124 with breakfast included what is the diff
maria [59]

The total cost to stay one night at sleepyhead motel without breakfast =  $119

The total cost to stay one night at sleepyhead motel with breakfast =  $124

We have to find the difference in the cost for a one night stay with and without breakfast.

Difference = $124 - $119

= $5

Therefore, the difference in the cost for a one night stay with and without breakfast is $5.

Mike has 4 times as many stamps as Andrew. If Mike gives Andrew 8 stamps, he will have twice as many stamps as Andrew. How many
ladessa [460]
Mike has 4 times as many stamps as Andrew

Let Mike = M and Andrew = A, eq.1 will be M = 4A

However, if Mike gives Andrew 8 stamps, then the number of stamps Mike has is now twice the number of stamps Andrew has. This will give us another equation. 

eq. 2 will be M-8 = 2 (A+8) 

The expression on the left tells us that Mike gave away eight stamps, while the expression on the right tells us that whatever this new number is is equal to twice the total number of Andrew's stamps after receiving eight from Mike.
Simplifying this further gives us:

M-8 = 2A + 16
M = 2A + 16 + 8 = 2A + 24

Use 2A + 24 and substitute this for M in eq. 1. This gives us:

2A + 24 = 4A
24 = 4A - 2A
24 = 2A
12 = A, and therefore M = 48 (because M=4A)

To begin with, Andrew had 12 stamps and Mike had 48 stamps. 
If only M-8 = 2A is used, this will only meet the condition given in situation 1 (M=4A) but not situation 2, wherein after giving away 8 stamps, Mike's stamps is twice as many as Andrew's. You can check it. :)

Why do systems of nonlinear equations sometimes have more than one solution​
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

System of two linear equations can't have exactly two solutions. Reason is that when we have two straight lines,they can only intersect at one point of intersection,no more. Or let's see if lines are equivalent,then they have infinitely many solutions,because any point on line can be solution for the system.

1. What is the solution of the system?
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

The given system of equations has solutions below:

1) The solution is (2,3)

2) The solution is (\frac{-8}{7}, \frac{5}{7})

3) The solution is infinitely many solutions

4) No solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Given system of equation are

-x+2y=4\hfill (1)

-4x+y=-5\hfill (2)

To solve equation by using elimination method

Multiply eqn (2) into 2

-8x+2y=-10\hfill (3)

Now subtracting (1) and (3)

-x+2y=4

-8x+2y=-10

_________________

7x=14

x=\frac{14}{7}

x=2

Substitute x=2 in equation (1)

-2+2y=4

2y=4+2

y=\frac{6}{2}

y=3

Therefore the solution is (2,3)

2) Given equation is

-2x+y=3\hfill (1)

4y-4=x

Rewritting as below

x-4y=-4\hfill (2)

To solve equation by using elimination method

multiply (2) into 2

2x-8y=-8\hfill (3)

Adding (1) and (3)

-2x+y=3

2x-8y=-8

________

-7y=-5

y=\frac{5}{7}

substitute y=\frac{5}{7} in (1)

-2x+\frac{5}{7}=3

-2x=3-\frac{5}{7}

-2x=\frac{21-5}{7}

x=-\frac{8}{7}

Therefore the solution is (\frac{-8}{7},\frac{5}{7})

3) Given equation is 6x+2y=10\hfill (1)

3x+y=5\hfill (2)

equation (1) can be written as

2(3x+y)=10

3x+y=\frac{10}{2}

3x+y=5

Therefore equations (1) and (2) are same therefore it has infinitely many solutions

4) Given equation is -x-2y=14\hfill (1)

-2x-4y=12\hfill (2)

multiply equation (1) into 2

-2x-4y=28\hfill (3)

To solve equation by using elimination method

subtracting (2) and (3)

-2x-4y=28

-2x-4y=12

_______

28\neq -12

therefore it has no solution
