Given:

Total number of marbles in the bag = 150

There are 21 blue marbles for every 4 white marbles.

To find:

The number of blue marbles in the bag.

Solution:

Since, there are 21 blue marbles for every 4 white marbles, therefore the ratio of blue marble to white marbles is 21:4.

Let the number of blue marbles be 21x and white marbles be 4x.

Total number of marbles in the bag = 150

21x+4x=150

25x=150

Divide both sides by 25.

x=\dfrac{150}{25}

x=6

Now,

\text{Blue marbles}=21x

\text{Blue marbles}=21(6)

\text{Blue marbles}=126

Therefore, the number of blue marbles is 126.

According to the 2000 Census the population of Canton was 7,720. Holly Spring's population was 3,200. Canton's population increa
qwelly [4]
Canton: 7,720 and increases at a rate of 80 people per year.
Holly Spring: 3,200 and increases at rate of 120 people per year.

Let x be the number of years.

Canton = 7,720 + 80x
Holly Spring = 3,200 + 120x

7,720 + 80x = 3,200 + 120x
80x - 120x = 3,200 - 7720
-40x = -4520
x = -4520 / -40
x = 113

It would take 113 years before the populations are equal.

7,720 + 80x = 3,200 + 120x
7,720 + 80(113) = 3,200 + 120(113)
7,720 + 9,040 = 3,200 + 13,560
16,760 = 16,760

Solve the system of equations by multiplying and adding. Enter the solution as an ordered pair.
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

(x, y) = (- 3, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

5x + 2y = - 7 → (1)

4x - y = - 16 → (2)

multiply all terms in (2) by 2

8x - 2y = - 32 → (3)

Add (1) and (3) term by term

(5x + 8x) + (2y - 2y) = (- 7 - 32)

13x = - 39 ( divide both sides by 13 )

x = - 3

Substitute x = - 3 into either (1) or (2) and solve for y

substituting in (1) gives

(5 × - 3) + 2y = - 7

- 15 + 2y = - 7 ( add 15 to both sides )

2y = 8 ( divide both sides by 2 )

y = 4

solution is (- 3, 4 )
