Answer:

Brass + Brass = Woodwind

Brass + Woodwind = 150

Brass = 50, Woodwind = 100

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

The two addition equations would be:

Brass + Brass = Woodwind

(As there are twice as many woodwind as brass)

AND

Brass + Woodwind = 150

(As there are 150 of those instruments in total)

These two equations fully describe this situation, and you can use them to solve the problem using substitution as well.

Since Woodwind = Brass + Brass, then:

Brass + Woodwind =150

Can also be written as:

Brass + (Brass+Brass) = 150

Now we can solve by combining all the like terms which gives us:

3*Brass = 150

Brass = 150/3

Brass = 50 meaning that Woodwind = 100, as 50+50=100.

Hope this helped!

total of $ 33 comma 000 is to be​ invested, some in bonds and some in certificates of deposit​ (CDs). If the amount invested in
leva [86]

Answer: $17,000 invested in bonds and $13,000 in certificate of deposit

Step-by-step explanation: let x = amount invested in bonds

y = amount invested in certificate of deposits.

According to the question, amount invested in bonds is $4000 more than the amount invested in certificate of deposits.

x = y + $4000 — (1)

Also from the question, the total money for investment is $30,000

x + y = $30,000 — (2)

By substituting eqn (1) into eqn (2), we have

y + 4000 + y = 30, 000

2y + 4000 = 30,000

2y = 30,000 - 4000

2y = 26,000

y = $ 13,000

But x + y = 30,000 where y = 13,000

x + 13, 000 = 30,000

x = 30,000 - 13,000

x = $17,000

Hence $17, 000 is invested in Bonds and $13, 000 in certificate of deposit

The center of a circle is at (0, 0), and the radius of the circle is 3(sqrt)2
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a circle is denoted by: (x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2, where (h, k) is the center and r is the radius.

Here, we see that the center is (0, 0), so h = 0 and k = 0. Also, the radius is 3\sqrt{2}, so r = 3\sqrt{2} and r^2=(3\sqrt{2})^2=9*2=18.

Then we can write our equation:

(x-0)^2+(y-0)^2=18

x^2+y^2=18

The answer is B.

Hope this helps!
