Answer:

160 total beads

Step-by-step explanation:

so if 1/4 of the beads are red, then 3/4 of them are not.....so 3/4 is the remainder of beads.....and 3/5 of the remainder are yellow....so 3/5 of 3/4 =

3/5 * 3/4 = 9/20...so 9/20 are yellow.....and the rest (48) are blue.

1/4 + 9/20 = 5/20 + 9/20 = 14/20 reduces to 7/10...so 7/10 of the beads are red and yellow

so if 7/10 of the beads are red and yellow, then 3/10 are blue

3/10 of what number is 48

3/10x = 48

x = 48 * 10/3

x = 480/3

x = 160

let me check it..

1/4 are red......160 total beads.....so red beads = (1/4 * 160) = 160/4 = 40

3/5 of the remainder is yellow.....so 3/5 of (160 - 40) = 3/5(120) = 72 yellow

and then u have 48 blue...

40 + 72 + 48 = 160

so there are 160 total beads.......40 red, 72 yellow, and 48 blue <===

How many solutions does this system have? y = 3 x minus 5. y = negative x + 4. one two an infinite number no solution
AveGali [126]

Answer:

One

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

y = 3x-5 ....(1)

y = -x+4 .....(2)

We can solve the above equations using substitution method. Put the value of y from equation (1) to equation (2) such that,

3x-5 = -x+4\\\\3x+x = 5+4\\\\4x = 9\\\\x=\dfrac{9}{4}

Put the value of x in equation (1) we get :

y = 3x-5\\\\y = 3\times \dfrac{9}{4}-5\\\\y=\dfrac{7}{4}

It means that the value of x is \dfrac{9}{4} and the value of y is \dfrac{7}{4}. Hence, the given equations has only one solution.
