◆ Define the variables:
Let the calorie content of Candy A = a
and the calorie content of Candy B = b
◆ Form the equations:
One bar of candy A and two bars of candy B have 774 calories. Thus:
a + 2b = 774
Two bars of candy A and one bar of candy B contains 786 calories
2a + b = 786
◆ Solve the equations:
From first equation,
a + 2b = 774
=> a = 774 - 2b
Put a in second equation
2×(774-2b) + b = 786
=> 2×774 - 2×2b + b = 786
=> 1548 - 4b + b = 786
=> -3b = 786 - 1548
=> -3b = -762
=> b = -762/(-3) = 254 calorie
◆ Find caloric content:
Caloric content of candy B = 254 calorie
Caloric content of candy A = a = 774 - 2b = 774 - 2×254 = 774 - 508 = 266 calorie
Well for the first one you have to subtract 3 on both sides so that would make the equation x > -8 (because a negative subtracting a positive is basically a negative plus negative) and so your equations done. For the second one you divide both ides by -4 so your equation would be x < 4 (the sign would be less then or qual to because you divided by a negative)
Answer:
The population of the town in the year 1962 will be 1730.
Step-by-step explanation:
The population of Smallville can be found by the equation
, where P(t) is the population at time t, r represents the rate of growth, and I is the initial population.
Now, if there are 225 residents in 1950 and the population of the town grows at a rate of 17% per year, then the population of the town in the year 1962 will be
(Approximate)
9514 1404 393
Answer:
-8/5
Step-by-step explanation:
When you solve for y, the slope of the line is the x-coefficient. For the given line, that is ...
8y = 5x +11 . . . . . add 5x
y = 5/8x +11/8 . . . . divide by 8
The given line has a slope of 5/8. The perpendicular line will have a slope that is the opposite of the reciprocal of this:
-1/(5/8) = -8/5 . . . . slope of perpendicular line
It will just be 2 since 10 goes into 20 2 times
