Answer:

The solution to this system of equations is:

  • B = 28
  • T = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Jill has 47 bugs and counts a total 320 legs.

We can concur that by adding the total number of butterflies and the total number of tarantulas, we will get 47 bugs.

\text{tarantulas + butterflies} = 47

We are also told that T is tarantulas and B is butterflies.

T + B = 47

Then, we also know that butterflies have 6 legs and tarantulas have 8 legs. So, for every tarantula, we get a multiple of 8 and for butterflies, we get a multiple of 6. This gives us a new equation:

6B + 8T = 320

Now, we can set up a system of equation.

\displaystyle \left \{ {{B + T = 47} \atop {6B + 8T = 320}} \right.

Using the first equation, we can solve for B.

\displaystyle B + T = 47\\\\B + T - T = 47 - T\\\\B = 47 - T

Then, we can substitute this value of B into the second equation and solve for T.

\displaystyle 6(47-T)+8T=320\\\\282 - 6T + 8T = 320\\\\282 + 2T = 320\\\\2T + 282 = 320\\\\2T + 282 - 282 = 320 -282\\\\2T = 38\\\\\frac{2T}{2}=\frac{38}{2}\\\\T = 19

Finally, we can substitute this value of T into the first equation to solve for B.

B + 19 = 47\\\\B + 19 - 19 = 47 - 19\\\\B = 28

Therefore, the solution to this system of equations is:

  • B = 28
  • T = 19

What is a common denominator for 1/7 and 1/3?<br><br> a 18<br> b 21<br> c 3<br> d 4
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

B. 21

Step-by-step explanation:

The fractions are there to just make the problem seem complicated, but just rewrite it without the fractions.

"What is a common multiple for 7 and 3?"

In this problem it's easy, all you have to do is guess and check.

A: A doesn't work. 7 is not a factor of 18.

B: B works! Both 3 and 7 are factors of 21.

C: C doesn't work. 7 is not a factor of 3.

D: D doesn't work. Neither are a factor of 4.

They only leave us with one solution, B.
