Answer:

B = 31, C = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Let B be the number of Black printer ink cartridges and C be the number of color printer ink cartridges.

42 were sold in total, hence,

B+C= 42 ------------(1)

Also, its given that

14.99 B+20.99C= 695.58 ------(2)

Multiplying (1) by 20.99,

14.99 B+14.99 C= 629.58 ------(3)

Now, subtracting (3) from (2),

14.99 B+20.99C= 695.58

14.99 B+14.99 C= 629.58

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

6 C = 66

C= 66/6

C = 11

We know, B+ C= 49

Hence B = 42- 11 = 31

B = 31

Hence, number of Black printer ink cartridges = 31 and color printer ink cartridges = 11 .

Line segment GT contains the point G(−3, 5) and a midpoint at A(1, −4). What is the location of endpoint T?
algol [13]

Imagine you're moving along the segment. Since the midpoint is in the middle of the segment (obviously), it means that when you've traveled from G to A, you're halfway through your journey, along both x and y directions. So, let's break the problem in two and analyze both directions.


Along the x axis, you've moved from -3 to 1, so you moved 4 units forward. This means that you have 4 units still to go, and your journey will end at coordinate 5.


Similarly, along the y axis, you've moved from 5 to -4, so you moved 9 units downward. This means that you have 9 units still to go, and your journey will end at coordinate -13.


So, the coordinates of the endpoint are T = (5,-13)


If you prefer a more analyitical approach, simply write the definition of the midpoint and solve it for the coordinates of T.


We have G = (-3, 5) and T = (x_T,y_T). The midpoint is computed as


A = \left( \frac{-3+x_T}{2},\frac{5+y_T}{2} \right) = (1, -4)


So, you have the equations


\frac{-3+x_T}{2} = 1,\qquad \frac{5+y_T}{2} = -4


Multply both equations by 2 to get


-3+x_T = 2,\qquad 5+y_T = -8


Move the constants to the right hand sides to get


x_T = 5,\qquad y_T = -13
