Answer:

David's score= 160 ;  Aaron's score = 55

Step-by-step explanation:

let Aaron's score be 'x'.

so, David's score will be 3x - 5

(3x - 5) + x = 215

3x + x - 5 = 215

4x = 215 + 5

4x = 220

x = 220/4

x = 55

therefore, Aaron's score = 55

David's score is (3x - 5) = (3*55) - 5 = 165 - 5 = 160

It takes 54 minutes for 4 people to paint 6 walls. How many minuets does it take 6 people to paint 7 walls?
earnstyle [38]

It takes 42 minutes for 6 people to paint 7 walls

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

It takes 54 minutes for 4 people to paint 6 walls

To find: Minutes required for 6 people to paint 7 walls

If M_1 men can do W_1 work in D_1 days working H_1 hours per day and M_2 men can do W_2 work in D_2 days working H_2 hours per day, then

\frac{M_1D_1H_1}{W_1} = \frac{M_2D_2H_2}{W_2}

M = Number of men

D = Number of days

H = Number of hours per day

W = Amount of work

Here in this sum,

<em><u>54 minutes for 4 people to paint 6 walls</u></em>

H_1 = 54 minutes ; M_1 = 4 people ; W_1 = 6 walls

<em><u>Minutes required for 6 people to paint 7 walls</u></em>

H_2 = ? ; M_2 = 6 people ; W_2 = 7 walls

<em><u>Substituting the values in formula, we get</u></em>

\frac{54 \times 4}{6} = \frac{H_2 \times 6}{7}\\\\9 \times 4 = \frac{H_2 \times 6}{7}\\\\H_2 = \frac{36 \times 7}{6}\\\\H_2 = 42

Thus it takes 42 minutes for 6 people to paint 7 walls

write a system of linear equations that has only one solution. solve the system of equations in two ways.
Iteru [2.4K]
X + 5y = 1 . . . . (1)
8x - 2y = 3 . . . .(2)
Solution 1.
From (1), x = 1 - 5y
substituting for x in (2), we have:
8(1 - 5y) - 2y = 3
8 - 40y - 2y = 3
8 - 42y = 3
42y = 5
y = 5/42
x = 1 - 5(5/42) = 1 - 25/42 = 17/42.

Solution 2.
Multiply (1) by 8, to get:
8x + 40y = 8 . . . . . (3)
(3) - (2) = 40y - (-2y) = 8 - 3
42y = 5
y = 5/42
substitute for y into (3), to get:
8x + 40(5/42) = 8
8x + 100/21 = 8
8x = 8 - 100/21 = 68/21
x = (68/21)/8 = 17/42

Mumz [18]

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

The assumed frequency of defects is 2/16.

When we apply this rate to 24, (2/16)*24, we get 3.

Therefore, we can assume around 3 defective boxes tomorrow.
