Answer:

Let p represent the # of pages in the book.  Then, Nora has already read 0.30p pages and has 0.70p pages left to read.

If she reads 25% pages/night, that means reading 0.25(0.70)p pages per night, or 17.5 pages/night.  If 28% p/n, that means 0.28(0.70)p pages/night, or 19.6p pages/night.

How many nights will it take Nora to finish the book if she reads 25% of 7/10 of the book per night?  Without any calculations, we can answer this by "4 nights, since she reads 1/4 of the unread portion of the book per night."

If she reads 28% of 7/10 of the book per night, that will require fewer nights:

First night:  28%

Second night:  28%  

Third night:  28%

 Total:  3(28%) = 84%

This leaves 16% to read on the final night.

This is one interpretation of what I think is a poorly worded question.

The author of this question might have meant reading 25% of the remaining unread pages per night, which leads to a different answer.

JulsSmile [24]

We know that there is a total of 900 cells, and 37 of the samples 60 are red. 900/60 is our unit rate of 15. 37 times 15 is 555. We will see 555 red blood cells in all of the cells.

555 is our answer.

The fill up for the 3rd  step is y - 250 =  340x.

  • The fill up of the 5th step is x = \frac{y-250}{340}
  • The fill up of the 6th step  is \frac{8750-250}{340} = 25 = x, \frac{8750-250}{340}= 34 = x
  • The justification for the 2nd step is subtraction PE.
  • The justification for the 4th step is division PE.

<h3>What is the simplification  about?</h3>

Note that:

y-250 = 250 + 340 x - 250

y = 250 + 340x.

Make x the subject of the formula:

y - 250 =  340x.

then y-250/340 = x

Then  x = \frac{y-250}{340}

The justification for the second step is subtraction property of equality because it undergoes subtraction and the collection of like terms and then subtracting them from one another as shown below:

y-250 = 250 + 340 x - 250

y= 250 + 340x - 250 + 250

Note that (-250 + 250) = 0

y = 250 + 340x.

Lastly, The fill up of the 6th step is substitution of the amount of money  saved and  then simplifying it.

What is the solution of the system? Use substitution.
trasher [3.6K]

Hi

4x-y=5

3x-7=2

We need to solve 3x-7=2 for x

Let's start by adding 7 to both sides

3x-7+7=2+7

3x=9

Now just divide both sides by 3 so we can find the value for x

3x/3=9/3

x=3

Now substitute 3 for x in 4x-y=5

4x-y=5

(4)(3)-y=5

-y+12=5

Now add -12

-y=12-12=5-12

-y=-7

Divide both sides by -1 so we can eliminate the negative sign

-y/-1=-7/-1

y=3

The answer is A

(3,7)

I hope that's help:0
