What is the difference of the values of the two variables in this system of equations? y = 2x + 1 x + 3y = 10 A. 0 B. 1 C. 2 D.
2 answers:
Answer: The correct option is (C) 2.
Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the difference of the values of the two variables in the following system of linear equations :
Substituting the value of y from equation (i) in equation (ii), we get
From equation (i), we get
So, the values of the variables are x = 1 and y = 3.
Therefore, the difference in the values of the variables is given by
Thus, the required difference in the values of teh variables is 2.
Option (C) is CORRECT.

In one year, the Perseid meteor shower had a meteor appear every 1 1/5 minutes on average. That same year, the Leonid meteor shower had a meteor appear every 4 2/3 minutes on average. How many more meteors fell during the Perseid meteor shower?
Answer:
325,452 meteors
Step-by-step explanation:
We all know that :
We have 365 days in a year and in each day there are 24 hours, Likewise an hour has 60 minutes
SO, the total number of minutes in a year is :
365 × 24 × 60 = 525600 minutes
For Perseid meteor:
So one meteor fall at 1.2 minutes interval Thus, in a year, we will have :
1 meteor - 1.2 minutes.
x meteor - 525600 minutes.
1.2x = 525600
x = 438000
∴ 438,000 meteors fell during the Perseid shower.
For Leonid meteor shower:
So one meteor fall at 4.67 minutes interval Thus, in a year, we will have :
1 meteor - 4.67 minutes.
x meteors - 525600 minutes.
x = 112548
112,548 meteors fell during the Leonid Shower.
Finally , the numbers of more meteors that fell during the Perseid meteor shower is calculated by the difference in the number of Perseid meteor shower and Lenoid meteor shower. i.e
438,000 - 112,548 = 325,452
325,452 more meteors fell during the Perseid meteor shower
