Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you would do a proportion

$\frac{3}{50}$ = $\frac{x}{300}$

Then you would cross multiply, getting 50x=900.

After that, you would do 900/50, which is 18.

Fill in the blanks to explain how Harry can check whether his solution is correct

Tresset [83]

Answer is in bold

Harry can first substitute 30 for t. He can then multiply $\frac{1}{3}$ by 30 to get a product of 10. Since 15 is equal to 30 × 1/2, Harry's solution is not correct.

Hope this helps :)

Have a great day!

Which ordered pairs are in the solution set of the system of linear inequalities? y > x y < x + 1 (5, –2), (3, 1), (–4, 2)

steposvetlana [31]

To check which ordered pair (point) is in the solution set of the system of given linear inequalities y>x, y<x+1; we just need to plug given points into both inequalities and check if that point satisfies both inequalities or not. If any point satisfies both inequalities then that point will be in solution.

I will show you calculation for (5,-2)

plug into y>x

-2>5

which is clearly false.

plug into y<x+1

-2<5+1

or -2<6

which is also false.

hence (5,-2) is not in the solution.

Same way if you test all the given points then you will find that none of the given points are satisfying both inequalities.

Hence answer will be "No Solution from given choices".

There are two numbers, one is 7 more than twice the other. The sum of the numbers is 43. Make the equation to find the smaller n

Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

Smaller number: 12

Greater number: 31

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Let x equal to the smaller number.

Let y be equal to the greater number.

1) Translate the information into equations

"One is 7 more than twice the other"

⇒ $y=2x+7$

"The sum of the numbers is 43"

⇒ $x+y=43$

2) Use substitution to solve for the smaller number

$x+y=43$

Plug the equation $y=2x+7$ into the above equation

$x+(2x+7)=43\\x+2x+7=43\\3x+7=43$

Subtract both sides by 7

$3x+7-7=43-7\\3x=36$

Divide both sides by 3 to isolate x

$\frac{3x}{3} = \frac{36}{3} \\x=12$

Therefore, the smaller number equates to 12.

3) Use substitution to solve for the greater number

$x+y=43$

Plug in x as 12

$12+y=43$

Subtract both sides by 12 to isolate y

$12+y-12=43-12\\y=31$

Therefore, the greater number equates to 31.

I hope this helps!
