Answer: they sold 31 soccer balls and 28 footballs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of soccer balls that were sold.

Let y represent the number of football that were sold.

sports store sold a total of 59 footballs and soccer balls last weekend. This means that

x + y = 59

Soccer balls cost $12 and footballs costs $18. If total sales were $876, it means that

12x + 18y = 876 - - - - - - - - -- - -1

Substituting x = 59 - y into equation 1, it becomes

12(59 - y) + 18y = 876

708 - 12y + 18y = 876

- 12y + 18y = 876 - 708

6y = 168

y = 168/6

y = 28

x = 59 - y = 59 - 28

x = 31

There were 200,000 animals of a certain species in 1980. Since then,this number has decreased by 4.5% each year. Approximately h
g100num [7]

Answer: Approximately 25187 animals of this species will be left in 2025

Step-by-step explanation:

We would apply the formula for exponential decay which is expressed as

y = b(1 - r)^x

Where

y represents the population of animals after x years.

x represents the number of years.

b represents the initial population of animals.

r represents rate of decay.

From the information given,

b = 200000

r = 4.5% = 4.5/100 = 0.045

x = 2025 - 1980 = 45 years

Therefore,

y = 200000(1 - 0.045)^45

y = 200000(0.955)^45

y = 25187

How can you tell if a equation is extraneous
geniusboy [140]
Do you mean an extraneous solution? I will tell you what I think. To tell if a solution is extraneous you need to go back to the original problem and check if there actually is a solution or if the solution is actually right. If not then it is extraneous.

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

Cost of  18 pounds candy  = $22.5

Cost of 10 pounds candy = $12.5

Cost of 1 pound of candies  = $1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

6 pounds of butterscotch candies cost  $7.50

⇔ 1 pound of same candy costs \frac{7.50}{6}   =   $1.25

Now, we need to find the cost of 18 pounds of candy:

as, the cost of 6 pounds candy = $7.50

⇔   Cost of 6 x 3 =  18 pounds candy =  $7.50 x  3 = $22.5

Cost of 10 pounds candy =  10 x (Cost of 1 pound candy)

= 10 x ($1.25)  = $12.5

The unit rate for butterscotch candies   = Cost of 1 pound of candies

= $1.25
