vodomira [7]
Answer: 16

Solution:

1) Use letters to identify the variables:

Number of trumpets: t
Number of clarinets: c

2) Translate each statement into algebraic (mathematical) language.

2.1) Sold a total of 27 used trumpets and clarinets

=> t + c = 27

2.2) Trumpets cost $149 and clarinets cost $99

Total cost of the trumpets: 149t
Total cost of clarinets: 99c

Total cost = 149t + 99c

2.3) Total sales were $3223

=> 149t + 99c = 3223.

3) State the system of equations:

Equation (1) t + c = 27
Equation (2) 149t + 99c = 3223

4) Solve the system of equations:

4.1) Multiply equation 1 by 149:

=> 149t + 149c = 4023

4.2) Subtract the equation (2) from the equation obtained in 4.1

=> 149c - 99c = 4023 - 3223

=> 50c = 800

=> c = 800 / 50 = 16

5) Verify the solution:

From equation (1) t = 27 - 16 = 11

Total cost = 149*11 + 99*16 = 3223

Now you have a verified answer: they sold 16 clarinets

Which expression has a value that is equivalent to the given expression when n = 8?
mrs_skeptik [129]

Q1.

Put the value of n = 8 to the expressions:

2n + 10 → 2(8) + 10 = 16 + 10 = 26

A: 3n → 3(8) = 24 ≠ 26

B: 2(n + 5) → 2(8 + 5) = 2(13) = 26   :)

C: n² + 5 → 8² + 5 = 64 + 5 = 69 ≠ 26

D: 10n + 2 → 10(8) + 2 = 80 + 2 = 82 ≠ 26

<h3>Answer: B: 2(n + 5)</h3>

Q2.

x = 3, y = 2

L = 5y² - 2x → L = 5(2)² - 2(3) = 5(4) - 6 = 20 - 6 = 14

R = x² + ... → R = 3² + ... = 9 + ...

A: x² + x → 9 + 3 = 12  NOT

B: x² + y → 9 + 2 = 11   NOT

C: xy → 9 + (3)(2) = 9 + 6 = 15 YES

D: 2y → 9 + (2)(2) = 9 + 4 = 13   NOT

5y² - 2x < x² + xy

L = 14, R = 15, L < R    CORRECT

<h3>Answer: C: xy</h3>

Q3.

3 + 6² = 3 + 36 = 39

A: 3³ + 12 = 27 + 12 = 39  NOT

B: 5² + 4² = 25 + 16 = 41 > 39    YES

C: 2³ + 5² + 6 = 8 + 25 + 6 = 39    NOT

D: 2³ + 14 + 17 = 8 + 14 + 17 = 39    NOT

<h3>Answer: B: 3 + 6² < 5² + 4²</h3>

Solve. −4.2y+2.1&gt;−2.52 Drag and drop a number or symbol into each box to show the solution.
Daniel [21]
Given problem is -4.2y+2.1>-2.52.
To solve this, we combine numbers by transposing -2.52 to the left side and transposing variable term in the right side as shown below:
2.1+2.52>4.2y
Perform addition of values 2.1 and 2.52, 
4.62>4.2y
Then, divide both sides with 4.2 and the result is 1.1>y.
The answer is y<1.1.
