Answer:

Weight of empty bottle = 0.8 kg

Weight of water = 1.6 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

As given , A bottle weighs 1.2 kg when it is 1/4 full of water. It weighs 2.4 kg when it is full.

Let us assume

Weight of empty bottle = x

Weight of water = y

Now,

when the bottle is 1/4 full of water

then,

weight of water = \frac{1}{4}×y

As given , Bottle weight = 1.2 , when it is 1/4 full of water

⇒ Weight of water + weight of bottle = 1.2

⇒ \frac{1}{4}×y + x = 1.2

⇒ y + 4x = 4.8      .......(1)

Also given, A bottle weight = 2.4 , when it is full of water

⇒ Weight of water + weight of bottle = 2.4

⇒ y + x = 2.4        ......(2)

Subtract equation (2) from equation (1) , we get

y + 4x - ( y+ x) = 4.8 - 2.4

⇒ y + 4x - y - x = 2.4

⇒3x = 2.4

⇒x = \frac{2.4}{3} = 0.8 kg

and y = 2.4 - x = 2.4 - 0.8 = 1.6 kg

∴ we get

Weight of empty bottle = x = 0.8 kg

Weight of water = y = 1.6 kg

Determine if the solution set for the system of equations shown is the empty set, contains one point or is infinite. 5x+7=2y and
Luda [366]

Answer:

The correct option is option B. It has one solution, and it's x=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following system of equations:

5x+7 = 2y                        (1)

y-9x=23                            (2)

Step 1: Solve for 'y' in equation (2):

y-9x = 23

y = 9x + 23

Step 2: Substitute in equation (1):

5x + 7 = 2y

5x + 7 = 2(9x + 23)

5x + 7 = 18x + 46

Step 3: Solve for x:

7 - 46 = 18x - 5x

-39 = 13x

x= -3

So the correct option is option B. It has one solution, and it's x=-3

A club has 10 members.
TEA [102]
That is the combination of 10 over 3, which is calculated as the quotient of factorials:
n!/k!(n-k)!
where n = 10 and k = 3:
= 10!/3!(10 - 3)!
= 10!/3!*7!
= (10*9*8)/(3*2*1)
= 720/6
= 120
therefore there a re 120 possible different groups
