Answer:

Let the number of courses that are worth 3 credits each be x and those worth 4 credits be y. With the given information, you can write the following equations:  

x + y = 48

3x + 4y = 155

 

You can solve the above equations by method of elimination/substitution

x + y = 48 ⇒ x = 48 - y (Now, substitution this equation into 3x + 4y = 155)

3(48 - y) + 4y = 155

144 -3y + 4y = 155

y + 144 = 155

y = 11

 

Now plug this solution back into x = 48 - y  

x = 48 - 11 = 37  

 

Check work (by plugging the solutions back into the 3x + 4y and see if it's equal to 155):

3(37) + 4(11) = 155

Answer: There are 37 of the 3-credit course and 11 of the 4-credit course

2. Calculate the length of the altitude h in ABC, given that m
Bess [88]

Answer:

To find h the altitude we use sine

sin ∅ = opposite / hypotenuse

From the question

AC is the hypotenuse

h is the opposite

sin 29 = h / 23

h = 23 sin 29

h = 11.1506

h = 11.00mm to the nearest hundredth

Hope this helps you
