Answer:

The options are not shown, so i will answer in a general way.

Let's define the variables:

h = number of hats

m = number of mugs.

We know that a total of 1000 items were ordered, then:

h + m = 1000

We also know that we have 3 times more mugs than hats, this can be written as:

m = 3*h

Now we have the system of equations:

h + m = 1000

m = 3*h

To solve these, we usually start by isolating one of the variables in one equation and then replace that in the other equation, but in this case, we already have m isolated in the second equation, then we can replace that in the first equation to get:

h + m = 1000

h + (3*h) = 1000

Now we can solve this equation for h, and find the number of hats ordered.

4*h = 1000

h = 1000/4 = 250

There were 250 hats ordered.

Got a fairly simple looking system of equations, 2k+4y=20, and 3x+6y=30 Don't understand how to prove what values of k provide -
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

2kx+4y=20 ⇒ kx+2y=10

3x+6y=30 ⇒ x+2y= 10

k is the coefficient of x, so it is the slope of the line

  • when k=1, both equations will be same, then there are many solutions
  • when k=0 there is one solution
  • when k is anything different, then the lines will be parallel, so no solutions
