Answer:

He completed 13 courses worth 3 credits and 5 courses worth 4 credits.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Number of courses worth 3 credits = x

Number of courses worth 4 credits = y

1. The student completed a total of 18 courses, then

x+y=18

2. The student earned a total of 59 credits, he earned 3x on 3 credits' courses and 4y on 4 credits' courses, so

3x+4y=59

3. You get the system of two equations:

\left\{\begin{array}{l}x+y=18\\ \\3x+4y=59\end{array}\right.

From the first equation

x=18-y

Substitute it into the second equation:

3(18-y)+4y=59\\ \\54-3y+4y=59\\ \\4y-3y=59-54\\ \\y=5\\ \\x=18-5=13

He completed 13 courses worth 3 credits and 5 courses worth 4 credits.

Every economic decision has only positive benefits. gained opportunities. unavoidable limitations. a consequence or tradeoff.
Alina [70]
Every economic decision has "a consequence or tradeoff" - this final answer choice is correct. Every time that an individual, business, or institution makes an economic decision, they always forgo an opportunity to use the same capital or resources for other endeavors. As such, there is a tradeoff incurred by not making the decision to use the resource in another manner. This is known as opportunity cost and is one of the fundamental tenets of economic theory.

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (1, 3) and (5, –2)?
Sergeu [11.5K]

m=-(5/4)

From left to right, (1,3) is first and then comes (5,-2). Always remember when finding slopes without equations, the rule is RISE over RUN, to the numerator and denominator, respectively.

The y value of the second coordinates becomes negative which is unlike the y value in the first coordinates, which means our slope is downward, meaning it has a negative sign in front.

In every slope, there’s a numerator, being the rise, and a denominator, being the run.

To find the rise, we must look at the y values. Starting at 3 going to -2 has a space of 5 units, making that our numerator.

To find the run, the first x value is 1 and the second is 5, making a space of 4, which is out denominator.

With these two numbers and the negative sign, we get -(5/4) as our slope.

How many gallons and quarts are in 10 quarts
Ipatiy [6.2K]
10 quarts = 2.5 gallons.

There are 4 quarts for every 1 gallon, but because you're finding gallons and not quarts, you do 10 ÷ 4 = 2.5.
