Step-by-step explanation:

x= Number of small pages

y= Number of full pages

1 x + 1 y = 21 .............1

Total words

1200 x + 1500 y = 27000 .............2

Eliminate y

multiply (1)by -1500

Multiply (2) by 1

-1500 x -1500 y = -31500

1200 x + 1500 y = 27000

Add the two equations

-300 x = -4500

/ -300

x = 15

plug value of x in (1)

1 x + 1 y = 21

15 + y = 21

y = 21 -15

y = 6

y = 6

x= 15 Number of small pages

y= 6 Number of full pages

In 2010 an item costs $9.00. The price increases by 1.5% each year. How much will it be in 2030?
Yanka [14]

Answer:11.7

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Recognize variables. Starting price is 9, it’s increasing by 1.5% each year, the question asks for the price in 20 years.

2. Convert percentage to decimal. Most calculators won’t understand multiplying by percentages, and instead will understand multiplying by decimals. A decimal is something we can easily work with. It is more commonly taught to work with decimals as well. With that said 1.5% equals .015. (The number in the ones place in the percentage is always in the hundredths place when converted to a decimal, the tens to the tenths, the hundreds in the percentage to the ones place in the decimal, the hundredths in the percentage to the ten thousandths in the decimal. Basically, every individual number [the 5 in 1.5] moves two spaces to the right when going from percentage to decimal form, likewise two to the left going from decimal to percentage form. 23%=.23, 104%=1.04, 0.5%=.05, 1.234%=.01234)

3. Make your equation

20(9*(.015))+9

+9 is your starting point

9*(.015) gives you the amount the price increases per year

20 is multiplied then to that increased price for the next 20 years

4. Crunch em numbers

Lena and 3 of her friends bought just enough food to go on a 12- day camping trip. Pete and Jane surprised them by showing up at
bekas [8.4K]

The number of people increased by 2.

This means as a ratio it is now 6/4 as many as originally planned.

6/4 can be reduced to 3/2.

The time and the number of people are inversely proportional, so the food would last 2/3 ( inverse is flipping the original ratio over) the original length of time.

This means the length of time the food lasts is reduced by 1/3, which is 33.3%

Write a system of inequalities using the given graph
ch4aika [34]

Take two points

  • (-2,1)
  • (0,-3)

Slope

  • m=-3-1/0+2=-4/2=-2

Parallel lines so slopes are equal

Only y intercept will vary

So both lines have y intercept at -3 and -1 respectively

The equations

  • y=-2x-3
  • y=-2x-1

Put (0,0) on first one

  • 0>-3

On second one

  • 0>-1

So as lines are dashed symbols remain >

The inequalities are

  • y>-2x-3
  • y>-2x-1
