Jenna sells apples and pears. If 20 apples and 60 pears re sold every hour, there will be 80 pears when all the apples are sold.

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

There are 1,360 pears.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that there are P pears and A apples.

We know that:

"If 20 apples and 60 pears are sold every hour, there will be 80 pears when all the apples are sold."

Suppose that all of these are sold after N hours, then:

20*N = A

80*N = P - 80

We also know that:

"if 60 apples and 20 pears are sold every hour, there will be 400 pears when all the apples are sold."

60*N = A

20*N = P - 400

Then we have four equations:

20*N = A

80*N = P - 80

60*N = A

20*N = P - 400

From the first one and the second one, we get:

20*N = A = 20*N = P - 400

A = P - 400

Now we have 3 equations:

80*N = P - 80

60*N = A

A = P - 400

Now we can just replace the third equation into the second one, then we get:

60*N = A = P - 400

Now we have two equations:

80*N = P - 80

60*N = P - 400

Now, remember that we want to find the number of pears, so we want to find the value of P.

To do it, we can take the quotient of the two equations, so we get:

(80*N)/(60*N) = (P - 80)/(P - 400)

8/6 = (P - 80)/(P - 400)

Now we can solve this for P

(8/6)*(P - 400) = P - 80

(8/6)*P - (8/6)*400 = P - 80

(8/6)*P - P = (8/6)*400 - 80

(2/6)*P = (8/6)*400 - 80

P = (6/2)*( (8/6)*400 - 80 )

P = 3*( (8/6)*400 - 80 ) = 1,360

There are 1,360 pears.

The measurement of the angles of RSC are given by the expression in the table

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the 3 angles in the triangle = 180°

Sum the 3 angles and equate to 180

31 + x + 4 + 3x + 9 = 180, that is

4x + 44 = 180 ( subtract 44 from both sides )

4x = 136 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 34

Thus

∠ S = x + 4 = 34 + 4 = 38°

∠ T = 3x + 9 = 3(34) + 9 = 102 + 9 = 111°

Solve the system of equations by graphing. Look at the picture. Will Mark Brainliest

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Graphing:</h3>

we are given two functions

$\displaystyle \begin{cases}f(x) = - x + 5 \\ g(x) = {x}^{2} - 3x + 2\end{cases}$

where f(x) is a linear function and g(x) is a quadratic function

we want to figure out the solutions of the function

let's graph f(x):

the Black-table is attached

let's graph g(x):

the picture is attached

hence, the graph should be

the graph is attached

<h3>solutions stating:</h3>

so we need solution(s) which satisfy(ies) the both functions

in this case the solution (s) the x coordinate(s) where both functions intercept we get from the graph that both functions intercept at (-1,6) and (3,2)

hence,

x={-1,3}
