Answer:

X = 14 kg

Y= 7 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

LET  X and Y equal the amounts of brand X and Y

X = kg of brand X

Y = kg of brand Y

we know:

1)   X    +    Y   =   21    (kg)

2)   1X  +   4Y  =   2(X + Y)        (This is the cost/kg * amounts for total cost)  

Coefficients 1,4,2  are the cost/kg)

substitute eq. 1 (X+Y), = 21 into right side of equation 2

1X + 4Y = (21)*2

use elimination to solve 2 equations

X   +   Y = 21

X   + 4Y = 42        (now subtract,       note:  I wrote the 1X as just X)

------------------

0     -3Y  = -21       OR   Y = 7 kg   so X = (21-7) OR   X = 14 kg

What is the cross section shown below?
goldenfox [79]
<h3>Answer: Choice A) circle</h3>

Explanation:

Imagine that white rectangle as a blade that cuts the cylinder as the diagram shows. If you pull the top cylinder off and examine the bottom of that upper piece, then you'll see a circle forms. It's congruent to the circular face of the original cylinder. This is because the cutting plane is parallel to both base faces of the cylinder. Any sort of tilt will make an ellipse form. Keep in mind that any circle is an ellipse, but not vice versa.

Another example of a cross section: cut an orange along its center and notice that a circle (more or less) forms showing the inner part of the orange.

Yet another example of a cross section: Imagine an egyptian pyramid cut from the top most point on downward such that you vertically slice it in half. If you pull away one half, you should see a triangular cross section forms.

En una sala de teatro havian 7 filas 23 sillas cada una acaban de quitar 8 de las sillas ¿cuantas sillas quedan?
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

Quedan 153 sillas

Step-by-step explanation:

Primero sabemos que en una sala de teatro tenían 7 filas, y en cada una de esas filas habían 23 sillas.

Entonces, originalmente, el número total de sillas es 7 veces 23:

S = 7*23 = 161

Luego sabemos que quitan 8 de esas sillas, entonces el número de sillas que quedan es la diferencia entre el número original de sillas, 161, y 8, que nos da:

S = 161 - 8 = 153

Quedan 153 sillas
