Answer:

balloons= 9

candles= 8

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number of balloons be x

and candles be y

So

15x+8y=192----------1

x+y=17--------------2

from 2, x= 17-y

put x= 17-y in 1

15( 17-y)+8y=192

255-15y+8y=192

solve for y

-7y=192-255

-7y=-63

x=63/7

x=9

put x= 9 in 1

9+y=17

y= 17-9

y=8.

Carlos bought a $235 water heater with his credit card. He used the water heater for five years before replacing it. He paid off
Mazyrski [523]

First we will find the interest on:


P = $235 principal


t = 2 years


r = 0.1415 annual rate


A = future value 


I = A - P the interest


A = P(1 + r)^t


A = 235(1 + 0.1415)^2


A = $306.21


I = A - P


I = $306.21 - $235


I = $71.21


the interest was $71.21.



Next lets find the lifetime cost value:


Lifetime cost value = 306.21 + 5*1.56*52 + 5*0.78*52 = $914.61 (considering that 1 year = 52 weeks)



Now lets find the percentage what percentage the interest is of the lifetime cost:


(71.21/914.61)*100 = 7.79%

What is the sum of the counting numbers 1 - 40
AVprozaik [17]
Simply it as follows:

1 + 39 = 40
2 + 38 = 40 etc

18 + 22 = 40
19 + 21 = 40

There are 19 of these plus 40 itself . . .therefore 20 of them

20 x 40 = 800

And finally the last number not used, 20

Therefore 800 + 20 = 820

If you were to use the substitution method to solve the following system, choose the new equation after the expression equivalen
Alisiya [41]
The answer is <span>2(–4y + 13) – 3y = –29

Step 1: Express </span><span>x from the second equation
Step 2: Substitute x into the first equation:

The system of equations is:
</span><span>2x – 3y = –29 
x + 4y = 13

Step 1: 
</span>The second equation is:    x + 4y = 13
Rearrange it to get x:         x = - 4y + 13

Step 2:
The first equation is:          2x – 3y = –29 
The second equation is:    x = - 4y + 13
Substitute x from the second equation into the first one:
2(-4y + 13) - 3y = -29

Therefore, the second choice is correct.
