Jarred sells DVDs. His inventory shows that he has a total of 3,500 DVDs. He has 2,342 more contemporary titles than classic tit

les. Let x represent the number of contemporary titles and y represent the number of classic titles. The system of equations models the given information for both types of DVDs.
x + y = 3,500

x – y = 2,342

Solve the system of equations. How many contemporary titles does Jarred have?

Here, x - y = 2342
x = 2342 + y

Substitute this value into first equation, 
2342 + y + y = 3500
2y = 3500 - 2342
y = 1158/2
y = 579

So, x = 2342 + 579 = 2921

In short, Your Answer would be 2921 contemporary titles

Hope this helps!

Well, if x + y = 3500, we can subtract y from both sides to give us x = 3500 - y. We can substitute that into the second equation:
x - y = 2342
(3500-y) -y = 2342
3500 - 2y = 2342
-2y = 2342-3500 = -1158
2y = 1158
y = 579
And substitute y back into the first equation:
x + y = 3500
x + 579 = 3500
x = 3500-579= 2921

So he has 2,921 contemporary titles. You can substituted the values back into the original equations to check them. Make sense?

Find the angle that the line through the given pair of points makes with the positive direction of the x-axis
alexdok [17]

Answer:

Therefore the angle that the line through the given pair of points makes with the positive direction of the x-axis is 45°.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Let

A(x₁ , y₁) = (1 , 4) and  

B( x₂ , y₂ ) = (-1 , 2)

To Find:

θ = ?

Solution:

Slope of a line when two points are given is given bt

Slope(AB)=\dfrac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }

Substituting the values we get

Slope(AB)=\dfrac{2-4}{-1-1}=\dfrac{-2}{-2}=1\\\\Slope=1

Also Slope of line when angle ' θ  ' is given as

Slope=\tan \theta

Substituting Slope = 1 we get

1=\tan \theta

\tan \theta=1\\\theta=\tan^{-1}(1)

We Know That for angle 45°,

tan 45 = 1

Therefore

\theta=45\°

Therefore the angle that the line through the given pair of points makes with the positive direction of the x-axis is 45°.

Two step equation<br><br> n - 5/2 =5
Verdich [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

two step equation

n - 5/2 = 5

n = 5 + 5/2

n = 5 + 2.5

n = 7.5

-----------

check

7.5 - 5/2 = 5

7.5 - 2.5 = 5

5 = 5

the answer is good

Jeff was already 7 miles out of town when his sister
Nikolay [14]

The sister catches up Jeff after 2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write Jeff's position and his sister position at time t using the following expressions:

- Jeff position:

x_j(t) = 7 + 2.5 t

where:

7 is the initial position of Jeff when his sister sarts chasing him

2.5 is Jeff's velocity (in miles/hour), so its position increases by 2.5 miles for each hour

t is the time measured in hours

- Sister position:

x_s(t) = 6t

where

6 is the sister velocity (her position increases by 6 miles for every hour)

t is the time measured in hours

The sister catches up Jeff when the two positions are equal, so

x_j(t) = x_s(t)\\7+2.5t=6t

And solving for t,

7+2.5t-2.5t=6t-2.5t\\7=3.5t\\t=\frac{7}{3.5}=2 h

So, the sister catches Jeff after 2 hours.
