There are 27 purple marbles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p be the purple marbles

and

w be the white marbles

Then according to given statements

p+w = 34\ \ \ Eqn\ 1\\p = 4w-1\ \ \ Eqn 2

Putting p = 4w-1 in equation 1

4w-1 +w = 34

Adding one on both sides

5w-1+1 = 34+1\\5w = 35

Dividing both sides by 5

\frac{5w}{5} = \frac{35}{5}\\w = 7

Putting w = 7 in equation 2

p = 4(7)-1\\p = 28-1\\p = 27

Hence,

There are 27 purple marbles

PRACTICE ANOTHER A piece of wire 18 m long is cut into two pieces. One piece is bent into a square and the other is bent into an
sergejj [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the equations

4x + 3y = 18   where x = the side of the square and y = the side of the triangle

For the areas:

A = x^2 + √3y/2* y/2

A = x^2  + √3y^2/4

From the first equation x = (18 - 3y)/4

So substituting in the area equation:

A = [ (18 - 3y)/4]^2 + √3y^2/4

A = (18 - 3y)^2 / 16 + √3y^2/4

Now for maximum / minimum area the derivative = 0 so we have

A' = 1/16 * 2(18 - 3y) * -3 + 1/4 * 2√3 y = 0

-3/8 (18 - 3y) + √3 y /2 = 0

-27/4 + 9y/8 + √3y /2 = 0

-54 + 9y + 4√3y = 0

y = 54 / 15.93

= 3.39 metres

So x = (18-3(3.39) / 4 = 1.96.

This is a minimum value for x.

So the total length of wire the square  for minimum  total area is 4 * 1.96

= 7.84 m

There is no maximum area as the equation for the total area is a quadratic with a positive leading coefficient.
