To solve this problem, we should use a system of equations. In this example, we can construct two equations from the given equation letting the variable r represent the number of raspberries Diane has and b represent the number of blackberries Diane has.

r + b = 46 (the number of raspberries plus the number of blackberries is 46, the total number of berries)

b + 20 = r (there are 20 more raspberries than blackberries)

Our two equations are above. Because our second equation is already r in terms of b, we can substitute this value for r into our first equation, as modeled below:

r + b = 46

(b + 20) + b = 46

Now, to simplify, we should combine like terms on the left side of the equation.

2b + 20 = 46

Next, we should subtract 20 from both sides of the equation to get the variable term alone on the left side of the equation.

2b = 26

Finally, we should divide both sides of the equation by 2, in order to get rid of the coefficient on the variable b.

b = 13

Therefore, Diane has 13 blackberries (if you substitute in this value into the first equation, you can figure out that there are 33 raspberries in the bowl).

Hope this helps!

What is the approximate area of a circle shown below?
hoa [83]

To find the area of a circle, the equation we use is 3.14*r^2.

We know 17^2 is 289.

So to find the area, we simply multiply 289 by 3.14, which would be 907.46

The answer is option B.

Kim's softball team was playing in the championship game. When there were 444 innings left, the team was losing by a score of 17
olga nikolaevna [1]

The inequality to determine the number of runs per inning, p Kim's team could have scored is; 4r + 6 > 17

<h3>How to write an Inequality?</h3>

Let r represent the number of runs per inning. Thus for 4 innings, we have 4r.

The team already has 6 runs. Now add the additional runs to this to get;

4r + 6

The team wants to score more than the other team, this means they need more than 17 and so the inequality required is;

4r + 6 > 17

Subtract 6 from each side to get;

4r + 6 - 6 > 17 - 6

4r > 11

Divide both sides by 4 to get:

r > 2.75

Approximating to a whole number gives;

r > 3
