Answer:
A) Each of the smaller donations is $20.
B) The larger donation is greater than the smaller donations by $15.
Step-by-step explanation:
4+4+7 is equal to 15, and divide 75 by 15 to get $5 per part. Multiply 4 by 5 to get $20 for a smaller donation, and 7 by 5 to get $35 for the larger donation. Hope this helped :)
You can use Substitution to solve this problem:
4x-y=20
-y=-4x+20
y=4x-20
Now you have two equations, and you use the first one to substitute into the second one.
y=4x-20 and -2x-2y=10
-2x-2(4x-20)=10
-2x-8x+40=10
-10x+40=10
-10x=-30
-x=-3
x=3
Now that we have figured out what x is, we can substitute x in to one of the equations to figure out y.
4x-y=20 x=3
4(3)-y=20
12-y=20
-y=8
y=-8
<em><u>So your answer would be x=3 and y=-8</u></em>
Try to put x on one side.
Do y = 35+X
-35 -35
Now you have Y-35=x

Answer:
6 fingers
Step-by-step explanation:
Let X = the base of the numbers above
If X > 0
Then we have:
325 = 3 * X² + 2 * X¹ + 5 * X°
325 = 3X² + 2X + 5
42 = 4*X¹ + 2*X°
42 = 4X+ 2
And
411 = 4*X²+ 1*X¹ 1*X°
42 = 4X² + X + 1
Since 325 + 42= 11 then
3X² + 2X + 5 + 4X+ 2 = 4X² + X + 1 ------ Collect Like Terms
3X² - 4X² + 2X + 4X - X + 5 + 2 - 1 = 0
-X² + 5X + 6 = 0 ------- Multiply both sides by -1
X² - 5X - 6 = 0 ------- Factorise the Equation
X² - 6X + X - 6 = 0
X(X - 6) + 1( X - 6) = 0
(X + 1)(X - 6) = 0
X + 1 = 0 or X - 6 = 0
X = -1 or X = 6
But X>0
So, X =-1 is invalid
X = 6
The expected number of fingers of the Martian is 6
