Answer:
Yea that problem is a bit confusing,
2y should be double of what y is, which is 4x+5
Then 2y says 8x+15, when it should be 8x+10.
I feel bad cause I am sure the teacher is wrong on this, he/she had probably made a typo, or you made a typo, but that's ok! We all make typos!
The teacher would be extra rude if they marked you wrong on this, cause the question itself is not written "properly"
Answer:
7 people purchase the items and they used 53 coins
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of people.
Let y be the number of coins needed to purchase the items.
If each person pays 8 coins, the surplus is 3 coins. This is illustrated below:
8x = y + 3 (1)
if each person gives 7 coins, the deficiency is 4 coins. This is illustrated below:
7x = y — 4 (2)
Solving by elimination method: subtract equation(2) from equation (1). This is illustrated below:
8x = y + 3 (1)
— (7x = y — 4) (2)
x = 7.
Next, Substituting the value of x into any of the equation to obtain y. In this case I will be using equation 1 as illustrated below:
8x = y + 3 (1)
8(7) = y + 3
56 = y + 3
Collect like terms
y = 56 — 3
y = 53
Therefore, 7 people purchase the items and they used 53 coins
Based on the scenario, the reduced form of f(n) is :
f(n) = n^4/4+n^3 + 5n^2/4+n/2
or, it could also be written as
n/4 (n+1) (n^2 + 3n + 2)
hope this helps
Hey. :)
<span>Find the midpoint of the segment with the given endpoints.
D(5, 1) and E(13, 11)
(9, 6)</span>
Answer:
Hey there!
Slope: 7-3/1-(-1), which is equal to 4/2, or 2.
Point slope: y-7=2(x-1)
So choice B is correct.
Let me know if this helps , or if you have any more questions :)
