Answer:

The equation to solve to find the number of yellow marbles =

3y + y = 500

4y = 500

The number of yellow marbles = 125

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of

Blue marbles = x

Yellow marbles = y

A large jar contains 500 marbles.

x + y = 500

All of the marbles in the jar are either blue or yellow, and there are 3 times as many blue marbles as yellow marbles.

3y = x

Hence, we substitute 3y for ymx in the above equation

3y + y = 500

4y = 500

y = 500/4

y = 125

The number of yellow marbles = 125

Given the diagram below with line DE║ line AC. Find BC.
Karolina [17]

Answer:

13.5

Step-by-step explanation:

In triangle ABC, DE || AC

Therefore by basic proportionality theorem:

\frac{BD}{DA} = \frac {BE}{EC} \\\\\therefore  \frac{4}{8} = \frac {BE}{9} \\\\\therefore  \frac{1}{2} = \frac {BE}{9} \\\\\therefore  BE = \frac{9}{2} \\\\\therefore BE = 4.5\\\because BC = BE + EC \\\therefore BC = 4.5 + 9\\\huge \red {\boxed {\therefore BC = 13.5}} \\
