Given:
A chess club with 45 members is electing a new president.
Bob received 18 votes.
To find:
The percentage of the club members who voted for Bob.
Solution:
We have,
Total number of members = 45
Votes received by bob = 18
Now, the percentage of the club members who voted for Bob is
Therefore, 40% of the club members voted for Bob.
Given the system of equations:
x + y - z = 4 eq.(1)
3x + 2y + 4z = 17 eq.(2)
-x + 5y + z = 8 eq.(3)
Add the equations 1 and 3
so,
x + y - z + ( -x + 5y + z ) = 4 + 8
x + y - z - x + 5y + z = 12
6y = 12
y = 12/6 = 2
Substitute with y at eq. (1)
So,
x + 2 - z = 4
x - z = 4 - 2
x - z = 2 eq. (4)
Substitute with y at eq.(2)
3x + 2 * 2 + 4z = 17
3x + 4 + 4z = 17
3x + 4z = 17 - 4
3x + 4z = 13 eq.(5)
solve the equations (4) and (5) together
x - z = 2
3x + 4z = 13
Multiply [ x - z = 2 ] by 4
4x - 4z = 8
3x + 4z = 13
Add the last two equations
4x - 4z + 3x + 4z = 8 + 13
7x = 21
Divide both sides by 7
x = 21/7 = 3
So, x = 3 and y = 2
Substitute with the values of x and y at the equation [ -x + 5y + z = 8 ]
So,
-3 + 5 * 2 + z = 8
solve for z
-3 + 10 + z = 8
z = 8 + 3 - 10
z = 11 - 10 = 1
So,
x = 3 , y = 2 and z = 1
Answer:
140 zombies
Step-by-step explanation:
Since this is a proportions problem and we are given three values and a variable we must solve for which is the number of zombie soldiers she can raise (z) with 10 dark power crystals. Therefore, we can use the rule of three to solve for this, in which we multiply the diagonal values and divide by the last remaining value in order to solve for the variable like so...
1 crystal <===> 14 zombies
10 crystals <===> Z zombies
(10 * 14) / 1 = 140 zombies
A south pole of one magnet can approach the north pole of another. The magnetic fields are aligned. This makes an attractive force between the two magnets. The farther apart they are, the higher their potential energy.
hope this helped :)
