*\\Justin's\ songs-\ \ 3x+12\\
Jim's\ songs-\ \ 5x-4\\\\The\ same\ amount\ so:\\
3x+12=5x-4\ \ \ |Subtract\ 3x\\
12=2x-4\ \ \ |Add\ 4\\
16=2x\ \ |Divide\ by\ 2\\
x=8\\\\3x+12=3*8+12=24+12=36\\5x-4=5*8-4=40-4=36\\\\
Justin\ has\ 36\ sons\ and\ Jim\ has\ also\ 36\ songs.

According to the quesiton;

3x + 12 = 5x -4
12 + 4 = 5x - 3x
      16 = 2x
 16 / 2 = x
       8 = x
       x = 8

Now, substituting the value of "x" in one of the equation, we get,
3x + 12
= 3 (8) + 12 
= 24 + 12
= 36

5x- 4 = 36 ...........because according to the question, 3x + 12 = 5x - 4

So, each of them have 36 songs

What is the solution of the following system of equations?<br> 2x + y = -7<br> -3x - 2y = 10
pentagon [3]

Answer:

the solution is    (-4, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the first equation by 2.  This produces 4x + 2y = -14.

Now combine this result with the second equation:

4x + 2y = -14

-3x - 2y = 10

------------------

 x          = -4

Subbing -4 for x in the first equation yields 2x - 4 = -7, or 2x = -3.  

Then x = -3/2, and the solution is    (-4, -3)

Half an hour after leaving her house Beverly was 20 miles from home. At this point she merged onto the highway and was traveling
N76 [4]

Answer:

1. 45.71 miles

2. 10 miles

3. 89.43 miles

4. 0.79 hr

5. 0.025 hr

Step-by-step explanation:

speed = distance/time

After 4 hrs Beverly was 200 miles from home , however she had spent 0.5hr travelling for 20 miles prior to getting to the highway.

Therefore;

Constant speed before Highway = 20/0.5 = 40 miles/hr

Constant speed at Highway = \frac{(200-20)}{(4-0.5)} = 51.43 miles/hr

1. in 1 hr beverly will have travelled;

⇒ (20 miles in 0.5 hr ) + (0.5 hr  at speed 51.43 miles/hr)

⇒ 20 + (0.5 x 51.43) = 45.71 miles

2. In 0.25 hr beverly had not reached the highway

⇒ distance = speed x time

⇒ distance = 40 x 0.25 = 10 miles

3. in 1.85 hrs beverly will have travvelld;

⇒ (20 miles in 0.5 hr ) + (1.35 hr at speed 51.43 miles/hr)

⇒ 20 + 69.43 = 89.43 miles

4. Time taken to get to 35 miles

⇒ (20 miles in 0.5 hr ) + (15 miles  at speed 51.43 miles/hr)

⇒ 0.5hr + (15/51.43) hr = 0.79 hr

5. Time taken to travel 1 mile

 ⇒ time = distance / speed = 1 mile  / 40 miles/hr

⇒ time = 0.025 hr
