Answer:

# red marbles = 25

# blue marbles = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

r + b = 32

r = 4 + 3b

substitute '4 + 3b' for 'r' in the 1st equation

4 + 3b + b = 32

4 + 4b = 32

4b = 28

b = 7

red = 32 - 7

r = 25

Omealio received a grade of 80 on Exam 1. If his grade in Exam 2 was 15% higher, what was his grade in Exam 2? Please help
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

well if the max grade he could get was 100 then you need to find 15% of 100 which is 15, after that add 15 to 80 and you get 95.

his grade for exam 2 was 95

Step-by-step explanation:

15% of 100 = 15

80 + 15 = 95

Kyle works at a donut​ factory, where a​ 10-oz cup of coffee costs 95cents​, a​ 14-oz cup costs​ $1.15, and a​ 20-oz cup costs​
choli [55]
Let x = no. of 10 oz cups sold
Let y = no. of 14 oz cups sold
Let z = no. of 20 oz cups sold
:
Equation 1: total number of cups sold:
x + y + z = 24
:
Equation 2: amt of coffee consumed:
10x + 14y + 20z = 384
:
Equation 3: total revenue from cups sold
.95x + 1.15y + 1.50z = 30.60
:
Mult the 1st equation by 20 and subtract the 2nd equation from it:
20x + 20y + 20z = 480
10x + 14y + 20z = 384
------------------------ subtracting eliminates z
10x + 6y = 96; (eq 4)

Mult the 1st equation by 1.5 and subtract the 3rd equation from it:
1.5x + 1.5y + 1.5z = 36.00
.95x + 1.15y+ 1.5z = 30.60
---------------------------subtracting eliminates z again
.55x + .35y = 5.40; (eq 5)

Multiply eq 4 by .055 and subtract from eq 5:
.55x + .35y = 5.40
.55x + .33y = 5.28
--------------------eliminates x
0x + .02y = .12
y = .12/.02
y = 6 ea 14 oz cups sold 

Substitute 6 for y for in eq 4
10x + 6(6) = 96
10x = 96 - 36
x = 60/10
x = 6 ea 10 oz cups

That would leave 12 ea 20 oz cups (24 - 6 - 6 = 12)

Check our solutions in eq 2:
10(6) + 14(6) + 20(12) =
60 + 84 + 240 = 384 oz

A lot steps, hope it made some sense! I hope this helps!! ;D

Point D is located on MN at (2,43). What ratio relates MD to DN?
Eva8 [605]

The ratio of MD to DN is equal to 2.

<h3>How to find the partition ratio for a line segment</h3>

In accordance with the image set aside, the locations of the points M and N are M(x, y) = (- 6, - 4) and N(x, y) = (6, 4), respectively. Now we determine the vectors associated to line segments MD and DN by vector sum:

<u>MD</u> = D(x, y) - M(x, y)

<u>MD</u> = (2, 4 / 3) - (- 6, - 4)

<u>MD</u> = (8, 16 / 3)

<u>DN</u> = N(x, y) - D(x, y)

<u>DN</u> = (6, 4) - (2, 4 / 3)

<u>DN</u> = (4, 8 / 3)

Lastly, we find the length of each line segment by Pythagorean theorem:

MD = √[8² + (16 / 3)²]

MD = (8 / 3)√13

DN = √[4² + (8 / 3)²]

DN = (4 / 3)√13

And the ratio of MD to DN is:

MD / DN = [(8 / 3)√13] / [(4 / 3)√13]

MD / DN = 2

The ratio of MD to DN is equal to 2.

<h3>Remark</h3>

The statement presents typing mistakes, we kindly present the correct form below:

<em>Point D is located on line segment MN at (2, 4 / 3). What ratio relates MD to DN?</em>
