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

How are polynomials like and unlike monomials? Provide an example of a monomial and an example of a polynomial. How does the fol
Ainat [17]
A polynomial is the sum of at least one term. For example, x^3+1 is a polynomial. A monomial is a polynomial with only one term, such as 2x^2. A binomial is a polynomial with two terms, and a trinomial is one with three terms. The example you gave is a trinomial (which is also a polynomial). Degree of a polynomial is the largest sum of variable powers in any term of the polynomial. So, for example, x^2 y has degree 3, and x^3+x^2 also has degree 3. A sixth degree polynomial would be x^6-2x+1, for example.

A chemist is mixing one solution that is 32% sodium and another solution that is 12% sodium how many liters of each type should
Brut [27]
In order to solve the amount of each solution, we need to set up equations. We do as follows:

Let x = solution with 32% sodium
      y = solution with 12% sodium

Overall balance
x + y = 50

Component balance
.32x + .12y = 50(.20) =10

Solving simultaneously,

x = 20
y = 30

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
