Answer:

The D cells are worth $2.20, and the C cells are worth $1.90.

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be written as:

4x + 2y = 12.60

6x + 4y =20.80

Our goal is to find one variable, then use that information to find the other.

If we multiply the top function by -1.5, we get:

-6x - 3y = -18.90

We can add this to the previous equation.

  -6x - 3y = -18.90

+ 6x + 4y = 20.80

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

             y = 1.90

The C cells are worth $1.90.

Plug this value into one of the other equations and solve for x.

4x + 2y = 12.60  

4x + 2(1.90) = 12.60

4x + 3.80 = 12.60  

4x = 8.80

x = 2.20

The D cells are worth $2.20.

Check these values in the other equation.

6x + 4y = 20.80

6(2.20) + 4(1.90) = 20.80

13.20 + 7.60 = 20.80

20.80 = 20.80

Answer:

  C = $1.90 each

  D = $2.20 each

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

  Power pack A:   4D + 2C = 12.60

  Power pack B:   6D + 4C = 20.80

Isolate any one variable:

  4D + 2C = 12.60

  4D = 12.60 - 2C

  D = 3.15 - 0.5C

Substitution to find cost of C cell battery:

  6D + 4C = 20.80

  6(3.15 - 0.5C) + 4C = 20.80

  18.9 - 3C + 4C = 20.80

  18.9 + C = 20.80

  C = 1.90

Substitution to find cost of D cell battery:

  4D + 2C = 12.60

  4D + 2(1.90) = 12.60

  4D + 3.8 = 12.60

  4D = 8.8

  D = 2.20

Suppose x, y and z are integers. Prove that, if 3x−y + 5z is even, then at least one of x, y or z is even.
Elden [556K]

Given:

x, y and z are integers.

To prove:

If 3x-y+5z is even, then at least one of x, y or z is even.

Solution:

We know that,

Product of two odd integers is always odd.          ...(i)

Difference of two odd integers is always even.          ...(ii)

Sum of an even integer and an odd integer is odd.      ...(iii)

Let as assume x, y and z all are odd, then 3x-y+5z is even.

3x is always odd.          [Using (i)]

5z is always odd.          [Using (i)]

3x-y is always even.       [Using (ii)]

(3x-y)+5z is always odd.       [Using (iii)]

3x-y+5z is always odd.

So, out assumption is incorrect.

Thus, at least one of x, y or z is even.

Hence proved.
