Answer:

There is NO solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering 'y' be the number

Considering x be the smaller number

As 'y' is equal to twice a smaller number plus 3.

so

y = 2x + 3

also

y is equal to twice the sum of the smaller number and 1.

so

y = 2x + 1

so the system of equations become

y = 2x + 3

y = 2x + 1

solving

\begin{bmatrix}y=2x+3\\ y=2x+1\end{bmatrix}

\mathrm{Subsititute\:}y=2x+1

\begin{bmatrix}2x+1=2x+3\end{bmatrix}

\mathrm{Refine\:}2x+1=2x+3

-2=0

-2=0\:\mathrm{\:is\:false,\:therefore\:the\:system\:of\:equations\:has\:no\:solution}

\mathrm{No\:Solution}

Therefore, there is NO solution.

Find the value of the variable and BC, if B is between A and C.<br> AB = 5x, BC = 3x-1, AC = 47
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

17

Step-by-step explanation:

AC = AB + BC

Since we know what each variable equals, we can write out the equation as shown:

47 = 5x + 3x - 1

Combining like terms:

47 = 8x - 1

Add 1 on both sides:

48 = 8x

Divide 8 on both sides:

X = 6

Now that we know what X equals, we can solve BC.

BC = 3(6) - 1

BC = 18 - 1

BC = 17

Therefore BC = 17.

Use counting to determine the whole number that corresponds to the cardinality of these sets:______. (a) A= (xl x € Nand 20.&lt;
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Cardinality of a set is defined as number of element in a set. It is represented as n(X) where X is any set.

a) Given the set A =(x l x € N and 20.< x<27). According to the set, the set contains the values of natural numbers between 20 and 27. The values are 21, 22, 23, 24, 25 and 26

A = (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)

According to the set A, it can be seen that there are 6 elements in the set, <em>this means n(A) = 6.</em>

b) Given B=(x | xeN and x+1=x)

Since natural numbers starts from 1, the first element in the set is 2 i.e 1+1

The elements of the set B = (2, 3, 4, 4...)

<em>The number of whole number in the set is therefore infinite. </em>

c) For the set C={x l xe N and (x- 1)(x - 9) = 0)

We need to get the root of the equation  (x- 1)(x - 9) = 0

x-1 = 0 and x-9 = 0

x = 1 and x = 9

Hence the element C = (1,9)

<em>The number of whole number in the set is n(C) = 2</em>

d)  D={xlx E N, H X 5 100, and x is divisible by both 5 and 8)

Given the value of x between 5 and 100, the values of x divisible by 5 = (10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50 , 55, 60 , 65, 70, 75, 80 85, 90, 95)

values of x divisible by 8 = (16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80, 88, 96)

<em>The total number of elements in both set = 29 i.e n(D) = 29 </em>

A jar of marbles contains 7 blue marbles, 12 yellow marbles, 8 green marbles, and 5 red marbles. Use this information to answer
AnnZ [28]
Total marbles = 7 + 12 + 8 + 5 = 32
Green marbles = 8
Yellow marbles = 12

P(green ,then yellow) = (8/32)(12/32) = 3/32

Answer: The probability is 3/32
