Scott burned 20 calories per minute jogging for x minutes and 5 calories per minute for biking for y minutes. He spent a total o

f 120 minutes jogging and biking and burned 1,2oo calories. The system of equations shown can be used to determine how much time Scott spent on each exercise. What is the value of x, the minutes Scott spent jogging? 20x+5y=1200 x+y=120

Answer:

x = 112

Step-by-step explanation:

We can create two equations 1. one that calculates calories burned and 2.another that calculates minutes:

20*x + 5*y = 1200

x + y = 120

Then we can solve for x

x = 120 - y

then we can plug that into the top equation:

20(120 - y) + 5y = 1200

divide by 5:

4(120 - y) + y = 240

distribute:

480 - 4y + y = 240

and then do all that combining like factors what not and simplify and solve:

480 - 3y = 240

-3y = -240

y = 8

NOW WE CAN JUST PLUG IN THE ANSWER FOR Y TO FIND X

8+x =120

x = 112

Ruben bought 6 new books for his collection. This increased his collection by 12%. How many books did he have before his purchas
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:  The required number of books that Ruben had before purchases is 50.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that Ruben bought 6 new books for his collection that increased his collection by 12%.

We are to find the number of books that Ruben had before purchases.

Let x denotes the number of books that Ruben had before purchases.

Then, according to the given information, we have

x+6=x+12\%\times x\\\\\\\Rightarrow 6=\dfrac{12}{100}x\\\\\\\Rightarrow 6=\dfrac{3x}{25}\\\\\\\Rightarrow 3x=150\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{150}{3}\\\\\Rightarrow x=50.

Thus, the required number of books that Ruben had before purchases is 50.

Find the missing side or angle.<br> Round to the nearest tenth.
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

b = 2.7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

< C = 53°

< B = 80°

a = 2

Required:

Find b

Solution:

The question given suggests we are given measures for a ∆.

To find side b, which corresponds to angle B, first, we'd find angle A, which corresponds to side a, then apply the Law of sines to find side b.

=> A = 180 - (53 + 80) = 47°

Law of Sines: \frac{a}{sin(A} = \frac{b}{sin(B}

Plug in the values into the formula

\frac{2}{sin(47} = \frac{b}{sin(80}

Cross multiply

2*sin(80) = b*sin(47)

Divide both sides by sin(47) to make b the subject of formula

\frac{2*sin(80)}{sin(47} = b

2.69 = b

b = 2.7 (nearest tenth)
