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.

Which table has a constant of proportionality between yyy and xxx of 101010?
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

Only table C shows proportional relationship

Step by Step Explanation:

Given

Tables A, B an C

Required

Which table shows proportional relationship?

In table A .

x = 2 and y = 20

k = 20/2

k = 10

Also, x = 12, y = 132

k =. 132/12.

k = 11

Both values of k are not equal.

Hence, the table is not proportional

In table B

x = 5 and y = 20

k = 20/5

k = 4

Also, x = 7, y = 30

k =. 30/7

k = 4.29

Both values of k are not equal.

Hence, the table is not proportional

In table C

x = 9 and y = 90

k = 90/9

k = 10

Also, x = 14, y = 140

k =. 140/14

k = 10

Also, x = 24, y = 240

k =. 240/24

k = 10

All values of k are equal.

Hence, the table is proportional

Oksana_A [137]

Hi,

You just have to change z^25 to z^24 or z^27.

125x^{18}y^3z^{24}=(5x^6*y*z^8)^3

Solve the equation. Check your answers.<br>29=7x+5-4x​
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

29=7x + 5 -4x

add like terms: 29 = 3x +5

get your x variable on one side

24 = 3x

divide by 3

x = 8

check!

29 = 7(8) + 5 -4(8)

29 = 56 + 5 -32

29 = 51 - 32

29 = 29
