Answer:

The number of skateboards of each color is 11 and 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent blue skateboards and

y represent red skateboards.

From the question, the total number of skateboards is 15, that is,

x + y = 15 ...... (1)

and their product is 44, that is,

xy = 44 ...... (2)

From equation (1),

x + y = 15

We can write that

x = 15 - y ...... (3)

Substitute this into equation (2)

xy = 44

(15-y)y = 44

15y -y² = 44

Then,

y² - 15y + 44 = 0

Solve quadratically

y² -4y -11y + 44 = 0

y(y-4) -11(y-4) = 0

(y-11)(y-4) = 0

y-11 = 0 OR y-4 = 0

y = 11 OR y = 4

Put the values of y into equation (3) for x

x = 15 - y

When y = 11

x = 15 - 11

x = 4

and when y = 4

x = 15 -4

x = 11

(4,11) and (11,4)

It is either 4 blue and 11 red skateboards OR 11 blue and 4 red skateboards.

Hence, the number of skateboards of each color is 11 and 4.

HELP ME PLEASE!!

Using a system of equation, we have that:

a)

  • x, which is the cost of on-site service.
  • y, which is the cost of at-store service.
  • z, which is the cost of by-mail service.

b)

The system is:

x = 3y

z = y - 10

15x + 40y + 5z = 3100

c)

The cost of one on-site repair service is of $90.

Item a:

The variables are:

  • x, which is the cost of on-site service.
  • y, which is the cost of at-store service.
  • z, which is the cost of by-mail service.

Item b:

On-site service costs <u>3 times as much as at-store service</u>, thus:

x = 3y

By mail service costs <u>$10 less than at-store</u>  service, thus:

z = y - 10

Last week, the shop completed <u>15 services on-site, 40 services at-store, and 5 services by mail for total sales of $3100</u>, thus:

15x + 40y + 5z = 3100

The system is:

x = 3y

z = y - 10

15x + 40y + 5z = 3100

Item c:

  • The cost of one on-site repair service is x.
  • First, replacing the first two equations into the third, we find y, and then with it we find x.

15x + 40y + 5z = 3100

15(4y) + 40y + 5(y - 10) = 3100

60y + 40y + 5y = 3150

105y = 3150

y = \frac{3150}{105}

y = 30

Then

x = 3y = 3(30) = 90

The cost of one on-site repair service is of $90.

Can someone tell me if my answer to this problem is correct, please? And if it isn't how do you solve it? ​
Mrac [35]

Answer:

Height of tree= 13.8m

Step-by-step explanation:

When finding the value of a in your working, I suggest to leave the answer to 5 significant figures so that your final answer is more accurate. The value of a should be 26.048m to 5 s.f.

Then multiplying 26.048 with sin 32° would give you 13.8m too when rounded off to 3 significant figures :)

I have attached my working too.
