Well, since we know 30 is the unit rate of determining the weight of someone, in order to find the approximate number of quarters of blood in the person's body, all we'll have to do is divide the amount of pounds the person is divided by 30 to figure out the approximate number of quarters of blood in the person's body.So we'll do 120 divided by 30, which is 4.So there are 4 quarters of blood in the 120 pound person.

Good luck with your studies, I hope this helps~!

Solve the system of equations.
Xelga [282]

Answer:

  b.  x=1, y=2, z=3

Step-by-step explanation:

The system of equations ...

  • 3x +2y +z = 10
  • 9x -6y +z = 0
  • x -y -3z = -10

has solution (x, y, z) = (1, 2, 3) . . . . matches choice B.

_____

While it is convenient to solve this using a graphing calculator or web site, one can easily solve the system by hand.

Subtract the second equation from 3 times the first:

  3(3x +2y +z) -(9x -6y +z) = 3(10) -(0)

  12y + 2z = 30 . . . . simplify

Dividing this result by 2 gives ...

  6y +z = 15 . . . . . . [eq4]

Subtract 3 times the third equation from the first:

  (3x +2y +z) -3(x -y -3z) = (10) -3(-10)

  5y +10z = 40 . . . . simplify

  y + 2z = 8 . . . . . . . divide by 5 . . . . . [eq5]

The two equations [eq4] and [eq5] can be solved any of the ways you usually solve two equations in two variables. Here, we'll use the first equation to write an expression for z that we can substitute into the second equation.

  z = 15 -6y . . . . . subtract 6y from [eq4]

  y + 2(15 -6y) = 8 . . . . . substitute for z in [eq5]

  -11y +30 = 8 . . . . . simplify

  -11y = -22 . . . . . . . subtract 30

  y = 2 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of y

  z = 15 -6(2) = 3 . . . . substitute for y in our equation for z

Substituting these values for y and z into the third original equation gives ...

  x - 2 -3(3) = -10

  x -11 = -10 . . . . . . . . simplify

  x = 1 . . . . . . . . . . . . add 11

The solution to the above system of equations is (x, y, z) = (1, 2, 3).

<em>Comment on the problem statement</em>

Math is generally unforgiving of imprecision. The given system of equations has no variable "z", and some other typos are apparently involved. That is why we rewrote the system to the equations shown above.

It is very easy to mistake z for 2, or g for 9, or o for 0, or 1 for 7. There are other confusions that are possible, as well. Letters I (eye) and l (ell) are easily confused, and may be confused with 1 (one) as well. Sometimes y and 4, or 4 and 9, can also be written so as to be difficult to tell apart. Great care must be taken when handwriting these symbols.

A man is on a diet and goes into a shop to buy some turkey slices. He is given 3 slices which together weigh 1/3 of a pound, but
Ghella [55]
The three slices are each approximately 1/9 pound in weight, and, since 2/9 is less than 1/4, he can eat 2 whole slices and be okay. If he wants to eat partial slices, then he could eat 2 1/4 slices, as each slice weighs 4/36 pounds, so 2 slices would equal 8/36 pounds, leaving 1/36 pound left over in his diet, which is a quarter of the third slice.

The figure shows the dimensions of a wall having a door and window of a room. Write an algebraic expression for the area of the
qwelly [4]

Answer:

Area of the wall to be painted = (11x² + 12x) square units

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure that should be attached to this question is missing. The figure was obtained and is attached to this solution provided.

From the image attached, it is given that the dimension of the rectangular wall to be painted is (4x+3) by (4x), the dimensions of the window is (2x) by (x) and the dimensions of the door is (x) by (3x).

Since, the window space and the door space cannot be painted along with the wall, the Area of the rectangular wall that will be painted will be given by the expression

(Total Area of the rectangular wall) - [(Area of window space) + (Area of door space)]

Area of a rectangular figure = Length × Breadth

Total area of rectangular wall = (4x+3) × 4x = (16x² + 12x) square units

Area of window space = (2x) × (x) = (2x²) square units

Area of door space = (x) × (3x) = (3x²) square units

Area of the wall to be painted = (16x² + 12x) - (2x² + 3x²)

= 16x² + 12x - 5x²

= (11x² + 12x) square units

Hope this Helps!!!
