Answer:
Part A:
(1) x + y = 95
(2) x = y + 25
Part B:
The number of minutes Eric spends playing volleyball each day is 35 minutes
Part C:
It is not possible for Eric to have spent exactly 35 minutes playing basketball
Step-by-step explanation:
The total time Eric plays basketball and volleyball = 95 minutes
The time duration Eric plays basket ball = x
The time duration Eric plays volleyball = y
Part A:
The pair of relationships between the number of minutes Eric plays basketball (x) and the number of minutes he plays volleyball (y) are;
(1) x + y = 95
(2) x = y + 25
Part B:
By substituting the value of x in equation (2) into equation (1), we have;
x + y = (y + 25) + y = 95
2·y + 25 = 95
2·y = 95 - 25 = 70
y = 70/2 = 35 minutes
Therefore, Eric spends 35 minutes playing volleyball every day
Part C:
It is not possible for Eric to have spent only 35 minutes playing basketball because, given that he plays basketball for 25 minutes longer than he plays volley, the number of minutes he spends playing volleyball will then be given as follows;
x = y + 25
35 = y + 25
y = 35 - 25 = 10 minutes
The total time = x + y = 10 + 35 = 45 minutes ≠ 95 minutes.
Perform indicated multiplication on left side first...
-5x-35<-10 add 35 to both sides
-5x<25 divide both sides by -5 (you must reverse sign because of division by a negative value too!)
x>5 or if you prefer...
x=(5, +oo)
No, the graphs of the lines are not parallel because if you simplify 27x-3y=-81, you get y=9x+27, and in order to have the lines parallel, both equations must have the same "m" in y=mx+b. 6 and 9 do not equal, so no they are not parallel.
Answer:
The answer is 1/64
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer is 1/64 because if you multiply the denominator of 1/4 by 2 you get 1/8 then if you do it again 3 more times you get 1/16 then 1/32 then 1/64
