Answer:

x = 5 , y = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

You can solve this using substitution.

Let the quantity of cheese wafers be denoted by x and the quantity of chocolate wafers denoted by y

2x + 1y = 25

x + y = 20

These two equations are the answer to part A, (remember to include the above prompt which says what x and y denote).

For part B I used substitution because it was more applicable to the question then addition or elimination.

ACTUAL WORK

Set 2x + 1y = 25 equal to x

x = 25 - y / 2

Replace x with y in the second equation

(25 - y / 2) + y = 20

And solve for y

y = 15

Since we know what y is we can replace y in the second equation and find what x is

x + 15 = 20

Solve for x

x = 5

klemol [59]

Answer: A. 4.3\times10^7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A certain CD-ROM disk can store approximately 6.0 \times 10^2  megabytes of information.

1 megabyte = 10^6 bytes

Then, The storage capacity of CD-ROM disk will be :

10^6\times 6.0 \times 10^2=6\times10^{6+2}=6\times10^8  

If an average word requires 14 bytes of storage, then the number of words can be stored :-

\dfrac{6\times10^8}{14}=0.428571428571\times10^8\approx0.43\times10^8=4.3\times10^7

Hence,  number of words can be stored = 4.3\times10^7
