Answer:

there are 11 big-bags and 24 small-bags.

Step-by-step explanation:

there are x big-bags and y small-bags.

so now we can know:

(1) x + y = 35

(2) 12x + 7y = 300

in (1),we can do like this:

both left and right x7

then (x + y)x7 = 35 x 7

then 7x + 7y = 35 x 7  

then 7x + 7y = 245

now,

(1)7x + 7y =245

(2)12x + 7y = 300

we can both left and right do this: (2) - (1)

then

(12x + 7y) - (7x + 7y) = 300 -245

then

12x + 7y - 7x - 7y = 300 -245

then

12x - 7x +7y - 7y =300 -245

then

5x =55

then

5x ÷ 5 = 55 ÷ 5

then

x = 11

because

x + y =35;x=11

so

11 + y =35

11+ y -11 = 35 -11

then

y = 24

now we know:there are 11 big-bags and 24 small-bags.

You want to test the effect of light on the distribution of Artemia in your 35cm long testing chamber. If you measure the light
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

64.3 lumens

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Length of the testing chamber = 35 cm

Light at one end = 10 lumens

Light at other end = 200 lumens

now,

since the variation is linear,

therefore, the gradient of the variation

= \frac{200-10}{35}

= 5.43

also,

the darkest end is the end with 10 lumens

therefore,

The lumens at 10 cm from the darkest end

= 10 + 5.43(10)

= 10 + 54.3

= 64.3 lumens

A surfboard has an original price of $259. It is on sale for 55% off the original price.
grin007 [14]
I'm not sure what answer you need for this question?
original price: 259
sale: 55% off
55%=0.55
so 259×0.55=142.45
142.45 is the 55% of the original price
259-142.45=116.55
116.55 is the price after sale.
hope this would help. (*^ω^*)/
