Let x equal the one number.
Let y equal the other number.
x + 3y = 24
5x +3y = 36
Subtract the first equation from the second equation.
4x = 12
x = 3
The <em>correct answer</em> is:
C) x/21
Explanation:
Since Person 1 can complete the entire job (100% = 1/1 = 1) in 21 minutes, this person can complete 1/21 of the job per minute. This is Person 1's rate. If x is the amount of time it takes both people together to finish the job, then the amount of work Person 1 does would be (1/21)(x) = x/21.
Answer:
-0.333, -1/7, 1/8
Step-by-step explanation:
1/8 is the greatest because it is a positive number while the other two numbers are negative.
-0.333 or -1/3 is smaller than -1/7.
Answer:
y = -0.07x2 + 3.07x
Step-by-step explanation:
For each plant we add, there is a decrease of 70 grams for all plants from the inicial value of 3 kg of beans.
So, for 2 plants, we have (3 - 0.07) * 2
For 3 plants, we have (3 - 2*0.07) * 3
For x plants, we have (3 - (x-1)*0.07) * x
So we can model the final result of the amount of beans 'y' with the equation:
y = (3 - (x-1)*0.07) * x
y = (3 - 0.07x + 0.07) * x
y = (3.07 - 0.07x) * x
y = -0.07x2 + 3.07x
(In this equation we have a = -0.07, b = 3.07 and c = 0)
