Jalen has total 63 comic books.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total value of comic books = $3135

Let,

Number of $45 comic books = x

Number of $65 comic books = y

According to given statement;

45x+65y=3135 Eqn 1

x=y+33 Eqn 2

Putting value of x from Eqn 2 in Eqn 1

$45(y+33)+65y=3135\\45y+1485+65y=3135\\110y=3135-1485\\110y=1650\\$

Dividing both sides by 110

$\frac{110y}{110}=\frac{1650}{110}\\y=15$

Putting y=15 in Eqn 2

$x=15+33\\x=48$

Total comic books = x+y

Total comic books = 48+15 = 63

Jalen has total 63 comic books.

Working simultaneously and independently at an identical constant rate, 4 machines of a certain type can produce a total of x un

Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

B. 18

Step-by-step explanation:

The 4 machines can produce x units in 6 days. This means they have a daily total rate of x/6 units per day.

Since the machines are similar and that they work at the same rate, this means that the individual rates of each machine would be x/6/4 = x/24 units per day.

Now we are looking at producing 3x units in 4 days. This means that we want to produce 3x/4 units in a single day. Now, since each machine would work at a rate of x/24, we need to know the number of machines we need. To know this number, we simply divide what is to be achieved by the individual rate:

This is 3x/4 divided by x/24. This mathematically means 3x/4 * 24/x = 18 machines
