In the problem, the first equation should be represented like this base on the variable given in the problem:

20p + 9t = 44.4

with that equation, the second equation would is given by this formula, in response with the additional number of paperback and textbook

21p + 14t = 51

to get the system equation in getting the mass of each variable, you should subtract the two equation to simplified the formula.

   20p + 9t = 44.4
 - 21p + 14t = 51
-------------------------
p + 5t = 6.6 // this is the system equation that could be use in getting the mass of each object

A jar of natural peanut butter normally cost four dollars today it's on sale for $3.60 what is the percentage of the discount
kakasveta [241]
$4 is the original price of the jar consisting of peanut butter so therefor it = 100%. It's for sale at $3.60, so we divide $4 by 100% so we get the percentage for each cent and then we times it by 3.60 to get the percentage for $3.60 which is 90%. Now we subtract 90% from 100% to get the discounted percentage for 40cents :)

HELP PLEASE PLEASE I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST
podryga [215]

In the top the "f(x)" equals 9, now they are asking you to add onto the 9 by 1 causing it to be 10. If you did the first few you would have noticed that it takes 9 in order to get to 5 from -4.

suppose a population of 250 crickets doubles in size every six months. How many crickets will there be after two years?
lord [1]

double every 6 months 

in 6 months there would be 250*2 = 500 crickets

 in 1 year there would be 500*2 = 1000 crickets

in 1.5 years there would be 1000 *2 = 2000 crickets

 in 2 years there would be 2000 *2 = 4000 crickets
