Answer:

Hence he will be 4 large containers and 4 small containers

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Let the number of small containers be x

and the number of large containers be y

x+y= 8---------1

also

2x+4y= 24-----2

the system of equation to solve the problem is

x+y= 8

2x+4y= 24

from 1

x=8-y

put this in 2

2(8-y)+4y= 24

16-2y+4y= 24

2y= 24-16

2y= 8

y= 8/2

y= 4

put y= 4 in 1

x+4=8

x= 8-4

x= 4

Hence he will be 4 large containers and 4 small containers

Jamie is hiking up a small mountain. He climbs up at a constant rate of 300 feet/hour until he reaches the peak at 1,500 feet. A
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

a. d = 1500 - 300t. b. after 2 hours and after 4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Since Jamie hikes up the mountain at a rate of 300 ft/hr, and the mountain is 1500 ft high, his distance, d from the peak of the mountain at any given time,t  is given by

d = 1500 - 300t.

b.If Jamie distance d = 900 ft, then the equation becomes,

900 = 1500 - 300t

900 - 1500 = -300t

-600 = -300t

t = -600/-300

t = 2 hours

The equation d = 1500 - 300t. also models his distance from the peak of the  mountain if he hikes down at a constant rate of 300 ft/hr

At d = 900 ft, the equation becomes

900 = 1500 - 300t

900 - 1500 = -300t

-600 = -300t

t = -600/-300

t = 2 hours

So, on his hike down the mountain, it takes him another 2 hours to be 900 ft from the peak of the mountain.

So, he is at 900 ft on his hike down after his start of hiking up the mountain at time t = (2 + 2) hours = 4 hours. Since it takes 2 hours to climb to the peak of he mountain and another 2 hours to climb down 900 ft from the peak of the mountain.

Molly's Custom Kitchen Supplies sells handmade forks and spoons. It costs the store $1.70 to buy the
scoray [572]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  • 7 forks
  • 20 spoons

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y represent the numbers of forks and spoons made, respectively.

The cost of materials is ...

  1.70x + 1.30y = 37.90

The revenue from sales is ...

  5.60x + 5.40y = 147.20

You can solve these by any of your favorite methods. A graph is attached. It shows the solution is (x, y) = (7, 20).

They made 7 forks and 20 spoons.

_____

<em>Additional working out</em>

The equation coefficients are not "nice" multiples of each other, so elimination  and substitution will require multiplying both equations by some numbers. If we're going to that trouble, we may as well use Cramer's Rule or a variation of the "cross multiplication method". The latter is relatively straightforward and can be easy to remember. It tells you the solution to ...

  ax +by +c = 0

  dx +ey +g = 0

is ...

  1/(ae-db) = x/(bg-ey) = y/(cd-ga)

Here, that becomes ...

  1/(1.70·5.40-5.60·1.30) = x/(1.30·(-147.20)-5.40·(-37.90))

  = y/(-37.90·5.60-(-147.20·1.70))

  1/1.9 = x/13.3 = y/38

  x = 13.3/1.9 = 7 . . . number of forks

  y = 38/1.9 = 20 . . . number of spoons

__

The above solution formula may be more easily remembered in terms of the cross-multiplication pattern that gives the method its name. When the coefficients are written in two rows of four, with the last being a repeat of the first:

  • a b c a
  • d e g d

each of the three denominators (of 1, x, and y) is the difference of products in adjacent columns, formed in an X fashion: ae-db, bg-ec, cd-ga. Note that the equations are written in "general" form, which is similar to "standard" form, but with all of the non-zero terms on the left of the equal sign. (This has the effect of changing the sign of the constants: 1.7x+1.3y=37.9 ⇒ 1.7x+1.3y-37.9=0)
