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

Points A, B, and C are collinear, and B lies
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

BC = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

If the three points are collinear, it means they lie on the same straight line.

Now B lies between A and C

By mathematical convention;

AC = AB + BC

This means;

48 = 2x + 2 + 3x + 6

48 = 5x + 8

48-8 = 5x

5x = 40

x = 40/5

x = 8

From the question BC = 3x + 6

Substitute the value of x; 3(8) + 6 = 24 + 6 = 30

When a number is added to 1/5 of itself, the result is 24. The equation that models this problem is n +1/5 n = 24. What is the v
Lady_Fox [76]

For this case we must find the value of n of the following equation:

n + \frac {1} {5} n = 24

Taking common factor "n" from the left side of the equation we have:

n (1+ \frac {1} {5}) = 24\\n \frac {6} {5} = 24

Multiplying by 5 on both sides of the equation:

6n = 120

Dividing between 6 on both sides of the equation:

n = 20

Thus, the value of n is 20.

Answer:

n = 20
