Answer:

2 shelves

3 shelves

4 shelves

6 shelves

12 shelves

Step-by-step explanation:

playstation games = 48

xbox games = 36

Each shelf will have the same number of playstation and xbox games.

Find the common multiples of 48 and 36

48 = 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48

36 = 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36

The common multiples are 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12

Therefore, the possible number of shelves Joe will use is

2 shelves

3 shelves

4 shelves

6 shelves

12 shelves

Solve the following problems using 5-D process part 2

svet-max [94.6K]

The two problems are almost identical: you have to set up a system, and then solve it.

In the first case, let $g$ and $b$ be, respectively, the number of girls and boys.

We know that $g=2b+4$ (the number of girls in the Spanish Club is four more than twice the number of boys). Also, we know that $g+b=61$ (there are 61 students in total).

So, we have the system

$\begin{cases}g=2b+4\\g+b=61\end{cases}$

We can use the first equation to substitute in the second

$g+b=61 \iff (2b+4)+b=61 \iff 3b+4=61 \iff 3b=57 \iff b=19$

And then solve for $g$ :

$g=2b+4=2\cdot 19+4=38+4=42$

For the second problem, let $c$ and $j$ be the number of pins knocked down by, respectively, Carrie and John. Just like before, we have the system

$\begin{cases}c=j+12\\c+j=230\end{cases}$

And you can solve it in the very same way we solved the previous one.

Solve the following quadratic equation by the square root method. (Y-9)^2=64

enot [183]

Hello!

To solve this, first perform the opposite operation for the last operation (on the left side) on both sides. The last operation of the left side is squaring. Therefore, square root both sides.

$(y - 9)^{2} = 64$

$y - 9 = ±\sqrt{64}$

$y - 9 = ±8$

Please note that you must include ±. This is because the square root of 64 can be either positive or negative, as a square of either a positive or negative number is positive.

Now, add 9 to both sides.

$y = 9±8$

There are 2 solutions from here. One comes from adding 8, and the other subtracting 8. Therefore, the two solutions are:

y = 9 + 8 = 17

y = 9 - 8 = 1

Therefore, your two solutions are 17 and 1.

Hope this helps!

Last sunday 1575 people visited the amusement park 56% was adults 16% were teenagers and 28% are children ages 12 and under find

Butoxors [25]

Answer:

984 adults

281 teens

492 children

Step-by-step explanation: Multiply the total by the corresponding percentage to find the number. We assume the percentages have been rounded, so some adjustment is needed in the result of the multiplication.

{adults, teens, children} = 1757 × {.56, .16, .28} = {983.92, 281.12, 491.96}

≈ {984, 281, 492}

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

5/3 x + 15

Step-by-step explanation:

The inverse of a function is the reflection across the line y = x. As such, algebraically it is found by switching y and x in the equation and isolating to solve for y.

g(x) = 3/5 x - 9

x = 3/5 y - 9

x + 9 = 3/5 y

5(x+9) = 3y

(5x + 45)/3 = y

5/3x + 15 = y
