Let the total toys be x.

The first has (1/10)x =  x/10


The third child has one more toys than the first =  x/10  + 1

The fourth has double of the third:  =  2* (x/10 + 1)  =  2x/10 + 2


Since we know that the second child has 12 more toys than the first

Therefore the Second  minus First = 12.


First let us find the second.

1st + 2nd + 3rd + 4th = x

x/10   +  2nd +  (x/10 + 1) + (2x/10 + 2) = x

2nd + x/10  + x/10 + 1 + 2x/10 + 2 = x

2nd + x/10 + x/10 + 2x/10 + 1 + 2  = x

2nd + 4x/10 + 3 = x

2nd = x - 4x/10 - 3

2nd =  6x/10  - 3

But recall

2nd - 1st = 12

6x/10 - 3 - x/10 = 12

6x/10 - x/10 = 12 + 3

5x/10 = 15

5x =  15 * 10

x  = 15*10 /5

x = 30

So there were 30 toys in all.

Solve the system of equations. y = x − 5 and y = x2 − 5x + 3 A. (-4,-9) and (-2,-7) B. (4,-9) and (2,-7) C. (4,-3) and (2,-1) D.
larisa [96]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

y = x - 5 → (1)

y = x² - 5x + 3 → (2)

Substitute y = x² - 5x + 3 into (1)

x² - 5x + 3 = x - 5 ← subtract x - 5 from both sides

x² - 6x + 8 = 0 ← in standard form

(x - 2)(x - 4) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2

x - 4 = 0 ⇒ x = 4

Substitute each of these values into (1) for corresponding values of y

x = 2 → y = 2 - 5 = - 3 ⇒ (2, - 3 )

x = 4 → y = 4 - 5 = - 1 ⇒ (4, - 1 )

First of all, they need to triple their profits. So 87 x 3 = 241.

When you read the question, it says at least. In inequality terms, that means greater than equal to. You’d do this:
