Answer:176 psychology textbooks and 98 Biology textbooks were sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of psychology textbooks that were sold.

Let y represent the number of biology textbooks that were sold.

textbook store sold a combined total of 274 psychology and biology textbooks in a week. This means that

x + y = 274 - - - - - - - - - - -1

The number of psychology textbooks sold was 78 more than the number of biology textbooks sold. This means that

x = y + 78

Substituting x = y + 78 into equation 1, it becomes

y + 78 + y = 274

2y = 274 - 78

2y = 196

y = 98

x = y + 78 = 98 + 78

x = 176

Answer:psychology books sold=173

Biology books sold=95

Step-by-step explanation:

Psychology textbooks sold=p

Biology textbooks sold=b

P+b=274

P-78=b

P+P-78=274

2P-78=274

2P=274+78

2P=352

P=352/2

P=173

Substance P=173 in P-78=b

173-78=b

95=b b=95

Find the measure of an angle
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

167º

Step-by-step explanation:

The interior angles in an n-gon add up to 180(n-2). So, the interior angles in a 28-gon add up to 180(28-2)=180(26)=4680. To find out the measure of one angle divide 4680 by 29. 4680/28 is about 167.

Please help me answer this question genius
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

  x ∈ {-0.465, 1.014}

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation can be cast in the form f(x) = 0, and solved easily using a graphing calculator. That shows x ≈ -0.465 and x ≈ 1.014. The same calculator can iterate the roots to full calculator precision.

__

The equation can be made a quadratic by the substitution ...

  z = e^(2x)

Then we have ...

  2\cosh(2x)-\sinh(2x)=4\\\\2\cdot\dfrac{e^{2x}+e^{-2x}}{2}-\dfrac{e^{2x}-e^{-2x}}{2}-4=0\qquad\text{use exponential identities}\\\\2z+2z^{-1}-z+z^{-1}-8=0\qquad\text{multiply by 2, substitute z}\\\\z^2 -8z+3=0\qquad\text{multiply by z}\\\\z=\dfrac{8\pm\sqrt{(-8)^2-4(1)(3)}}{2(1)}=4\pm\sqrt{13}\\\\x=\dfrac{\ln(z)}{2}=\dfrac{\ln(4\pm\sqrt{13})}{2}\approx\{-0465133,1.014439\}

The speed limit on a highway is 70 miles per hour about how fast is this in miles per minute
Kruka [31]
\frac { 70 \textrm{ miles}}{1 \textrm{ hour}} = \frac {70 \textrm{ miles}}{60 \textrm{ minutes}} = \frac{70}{60} \frac{\textrm{ miles}}{ \textrm{ minute}} = 1.167 \textrm{ mile per minute }

Which one is correct?
kupik [55]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 1 from both sides and divide by 2. This will leave you with x=-2 which is the simplified form of the equation.
