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

Solve 5n + 6 = -3n - 10
Verizon [17]

Hi there! :)

Answer:

\huge\boxed{n = -2}

5n + 6 = -3n - 10

Solve for n:

Add 3n to both sides:

5n + 3n + 6 = -3n + 3n - 10

8n + 6 = -10

Subtract 6 from both sides:

8n + 6 - 6 = -10 - 6

8n = -16

Divide both sides by 8:

8n/8 = -16/8

n = -2.

Emily thinks the perfect tomato sauce has 8 cloves of garlic in every 500{ mL} of sauce. Raphael's tomato sauce has 12 cloves of
igomit [66]

For perfect solution we need to have :-  8 colves   in 500ml    solution

500   ml     has   8 cloves

1 ml             has     8 / 500 cloves

100ml         has   8 / 500  * 100  =    8/5  = 1.6 cloves

Raphael's mixture  

    900 ml  has 12 cloves

      1 ml     has   12 / 900 cloves

   100 ml has   12 / 900 *  100   =    12 / 9  =   1.33 cloves

so concentration of garlic in 100 ml solution of Raphael's solution is less than Emily's solution    so it is not garlicky enough.     ( option B)

HELP!! WITH THESES MATH QUESTION! WILL MARK BRAINLIEST 70 POINTS!!! PLEASE HELP
Cloud [144]

1. Let hardcover books = X

Paperback books would be 4x -3 ( 3 less than 4 times)

Now you have:

X + 4x-3 = 447

Simplify:

5x - 3 = 447

Add 3 to each side:

5x = 450

Divide both sides by 5:

x = 450/5

x = 90

He has 90 hardcover books.

2. 300 miles / 25 miles per gallon = 12 gallons of gas.

12 gallons x $$ per gallon = $48 dollars

3. Subtract base pay from total:

1916 - 800 = 1,116 worth of commissions.

Divide commissions by percentage:

1116 / 0.09 = $12,400 total sales.

4.

Find the median of the heights: 65-50 = 15. 15/2 = 7.5

Median = 50+7.5 = 57.5

The equation would be |h-57.5| < 7.5
