A. To answer this item, we let x be the number of aluminum cans and y be the number of plastic bottles. With this representation, the total money that is gained from the sales is 0.10x and 0.05y. The equation then becomes,

                   0.10x + 0.05y = 500

B. If the value of y is 6000 then,

                   0.10x + 0.05(6000) = 500

The value of x is 2000.

I need help with this math question
givi [52]

Answer:

a.) y = 3/(2ˣ)

b.) y = 1/(2ˣ)

c.) y = (π^π)ˣ

d.) y = (1/27)(1/√(3))ˣ

e.) y = .002908/(.119025ˣ)

f.) y = .00000004808/(.0413ˣ)

Step-by-step explanation:

Concept need to know is:

  • a negative exponent will flip the numerator with the denominator
  • a fraction as an exponent is just a root. so if the exponent is x^(1/2) then the root is 2 and x^(1/3) is a cube root
  • adding and subtracting exponent is the same thing as multiplying the same base.
  • so x^(1+2) = (x^1)(x^2)
  • and x^(1-2) = (x^1)(x^-2)

One number is 4 more than another, and their sum is 60. What is the smaller number?
ivanzaharov [21]
According to your question, there are 2 unknown numbers mentioned. Let the 2 unknown numbers be represented by the variables x & y, then x is considered to be one of the numbers being more than y by the addition of 4, .ie. x = 4 + y --- (1) The sum of the 2 numbers is 60, i.e. x + y = 60 --- (2) To find the smaller number, we solve eqn (1) & (2) using the concept of substitution, i.e. substitute 4 + y for x in eqn (2), i.e. 4 + y + y = 60 4 + 2y = 60 2y = 60 - 4 2y = 56 y = 28 ...Ans. Recall that x is more than y by 4, then 28 is the smaller number.
