Child=x
Adult=y
y=3x
5.2x+9.9y=767.8
5.2x+9.9(3x)=767.8
5.2x+29.7x=767.8
34.9x=767.8
x=22

Javier's employer pays for 43% of his annual health insurance premium. javier pays the remaining balance by having it deducted f

mihalych1998 [28]

<span>Let us start with the percentage of premium paid by Javier. Since the employer pays 43%, the remaining 57% (100-43) is paid by Javier. Now let us find out how much is deducted from his paychecks during the year. In one month, $157.38 x 2 = $314 .76 is deducted by the employer. So in 12 months, the amount equal to 57% of the health premium will be $314.76 x 12 = $3777.12. If $ 3777.12 is 57% of a certain number, to find the number, multiply $3777.12 with the reciprocal of the fraction. (57/100) So the unknown number = $3777.12 * 100/57 = $6626.53 Javier's total annual health premium, therefore, is $6626.53</span>

The sum of two numbers is 48.<br>the second number is seven times the first number

dusya [7]

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\sf x =6,\ y = 42}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be x and y

<h3>Given condition:</h3>

x + y = 48 --------(1)

y = 7x -------------(2)

Put Eq. (2) in (1)

x + 7x = 48

8x = 48

Divide 8 to both sides

x = 48/8

<h3>x = 6</h3>

Put x = 6 in Eq. (2)

y = 7 (6)

<h3>y = 42</h3>

$\rule[225]{225}{2}$

Which one is the right graph

Veronika [31]

Answer: C

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for a volume of a square-based prism is L² x h

If we insert 2 for L

We get 2² x 12 = 48

Same thing if we insert 3

3² x 12 = 108

As L is increasing, the volume is also increasing, so options A and D are out

The growth of the volume is not linear; it's exponential, eliminating B to make C the answer

If you want something visual, you can put y=12x² into a graphing calculator.

A point moves along the curve y = √ x in such a way that the y-component of the position of the point is increasing at a rate of

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

The value of x component changes at a rate of $\frac{dx}{dt}=4\sqrt{x}$ units per second

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that $y=x^{\frac{1}{2}}$

Differentiating on both sides with respect to time we get

$\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{d\sqrt{x}}{dt}\\\\\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{1}{2}x^{\frac{-1}{2}}(\frac{dx}{dt})\\\\\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}\frac{dx}{dt}$

It is given that $\frac{dy}{dt}=2units/sec$

Solving for $\frac{dx}{dt}$ we get

$\frac{dx}{dt}=\frac{dy}{dt}\times 2\sqrt{x}\\\\\frac{dx}{dt}=4\sqrt{x}$

The cost of 3 notebooks and 4 pencils is $8.50. Determine the cost of one notebook and one pencil

Assoli18 [71]

Call the notebooks x, and the pencils y.
<span>3x + 4y = $8.50 and 5x + 8y = $14.50 </span>
<span>Then just solve as simultaneous equations: </span>
<span>3x + 4y = $8.50 </span>
<span>5x + 8y = $14.50 </span>

<span>5(3x + 4y = 8.5) </span>
<span>3(5x + 8y = 14.5) </span>

<span>15x + 20y = 42.5 </span>
<span>15x + 24y = 43.5 </span>

<span>Think: DASS (Different Add, Similar Subtract). 15x appears in both equations so subtract one equation from the other. Eassier to subtract (15x + 20y = 42.5) from (15x + 24y = 43.5) </span>

<span>(15x + 24y = 43.5) - (15x + 20y = 42.5) = (4y = 1) which means y = 0.25. </span>

<span>Then substitue into equation : </span>
<span>15x + 20y = 42.5 </span>
<span>15x + 5 + 42.5 </span>
<span>15x = 42.5 - 5 = 37.5 </span>
<span>15x = 37.5 </span>
<span>x = 2.5 </span>

<span>15x + 24y = 43.5 </span>
<span>15(2.5) + 24(0.25) </span>
<span>37.5 + 6 = 43.5 </span>

<span>So x (notebooks) are 2.5 ($2.50) each and y (pencils) are 0.25 ($0.25) each.</span>
