James and Bethany Morrison are celebrating their 10th anniversary by having a reception at a local reception hall. They have bud

geted $3500 for the reception. If the reception hall charges a $50 cleanup fee plus $34 per person find the greatest number of people that they may invite and still have within their budget.

Answer: See Below

Step-by-step explanation:

Create the equation:

$34 times the number of people plus the $50 cleaning fee has to be less than or equal to $3500

Or

34p + 50 <= 3500

34p <= 3450

p <= 101.470588....

We can have a part of a person attending the reception so we have to drop the remainder/decimal. Therefore the most amount of people that can attend the party and stay within budget is 101.

Solve the system 2x+4y=16 5x +3y=19 then find the value of y/x
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

I would change 2x+4y=24 into x=12–2y

To do that, divide both sides by 2 and then subtract 2y on each side.

After that, substitute for x. 3x+2y=19 would become 3(12–2y)+2y=19.

Then solve.

3(12–2y)+2y=19

36–6y+2y=19

-4y+36=19

-4y=-17

y=4.25

Then, substitute y in either equation.

Either this:

3x+2y=19

3x+2(4.25)=19

3x+8.5=19

3x=10.5

x=3.5

Or:

2x+4y=24

2x+4(4.25)=24

2x+17=24

2x=7

x=3.5

Or you could solve it in the equation you created in the beginning:

x=12–2y

x=12–2(4.25)

x=12–8.5

x=3.5

The coordinates where the lines intercept are (3.5, 4.25).

Sorry for the long answer!

Answer:

<em>The fraction of the beads that are red is</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Algebraic Expressions</u>

A bag contains red (r), yellow (y), and blue (b) beads. We are given the following ratios:

r:y = 2:3

y:b = 5:4

We are required to find r:s, where s is the total of beads in the bag, or

s = r + y + b

Thus, we need to calculate:

\displaystyle \frac{r}{r+y+b}       \qquad\qquad    [1]

Knowing that:

\displaystyle \frac{r}{y}=\frac{2}{3}      \qquad\qquad    [2]

\displaystyle \frac{y}{b}=\frac{5}{4}

Multiplying the equations above:

\displaystyle \frac{r}{y}\frac{y}{b}=\frac{2}{3}\frac{5}{4}

Simplifying:

\displaystyle \frac{r}{b}=\frac{5}{6}       \qquad\qquad    [3]

Dividing [1] by r:

\displaystyle \frac{r}{r+y+b}=\displaystyle \frac{1}{1+y/r+b/r}

Substituting from [2] and [3]:

\displaystyle \frac{r}{r+y+b}=\displaystyle \frac{1}{1+3/2+6/5}

Operating:

\displaystyle \frac{r}{r+y+b}=\displaystyle \frac{1}{\frac{10+3*5+6*2}{10}}

\displaystyle \frac{r}{r+y+b}=\displaystyle \frac{10}{10+15+12}

\displaystyle \frac{r}{r+y+b}=\displaystyle \frac{10}{37}

The fraction of the beads that are red is \mathbf{\frac{10}{37}}

What are the values of a 1 and r of the geometric series? 1 3 9 27 81 a 1 = 1 and r = one-third a 1 = one-third and r = 1 a 1 =
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

a₁ = 1

r = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it’s a geometric series then

a₁ = 1 ( because 1 is the first term of the series)

3/1 = 9/3 = 27/9 = 81/27 = 3 then r=3.

Can the formula F=ma be a direct variation equation? If so, which variable would have to be held constant?
ANEK [815]
Yes it can be a direct variation.  it follows the form y = kx
The only variable that cannot be held constant is F, but we can hold the mass constant and vary the acceleration OR we can hold the acceleration constant and vary the mass.  Either one would work, but the easiest would be to vary the mass and hold the acceleration constant since we are all pulled by the same action gravity
