The number of DVD's sold at Fry's Electronics in a month was 920 and the number of DVD's sold decreased by 12 per month. The num

ber of Blu-ray discs sold at Fry's Electronics in the same month was 502 and the number of Blu-ray discs sold increased by 26 per month. Write a system of equations to model th situation. If this trend continues, in how many months will the number of DVD's sold each month equal the number of Blu-ray discs sold each month? How many each disc is sold in that month?

Answer:

a) 11 months

b) 788 discs

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us represent number of months = x

For DVD's

The number of DVD's sold at Fry's Electronics in a month was 920 and the number of DVD's sold decreased by 12 per month.

Hence:

920 - 12x

For Blu ray

The number of Blu-ray discs sold at Fry's Electronics in the same month was 502 and the number of Blu-ray discs sold increased by 26 per month.

502 + 26x

Write a system of equations to model th situation.

a).If this trend continues, in how many months will the number of DVD's sold each month equal the number of Blu-ray discs sold each month?

To solve this:

DVD's = Blu-ray

920 - 12x = 502 + 26x

Collect like terms

920 - 502 = 26x + 12x

418 = 38x

x = 418/38

x = 11 months

b) How many each disc is sold in that month?

For DVD's

920 - 12x

x = 11

Hence:

920 - 12 × 11

= 920 - 132

= 788 discs

For Blu ray

= 502 + 26x

x = 11

Hence:

= 502 + 26x

= 502 + 26 × 11

= 788 discs

Therefore, 788 discs were sold in each month

What is the y-coordinate of the solution for the system of equations? x−y=−11 y+7=−2x

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

$y= 5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the system of equations:

$x-y=-11$

$y+7=-2x$

In order to find the y coordinate of the solution we must first find the solution to this system of equations. We first start by solving one of the given equations and then substitute the answer of that into the second equation and further solve to get the final answers.

$x=y=-11$

$y+7=-2x$

$y+7=-2x$

$+ -7$

$y = -2x - 7$

$x - y = -11$

$y = -2x-7$

$x-(-2x-7)=-11$

$x--2x=x+2x=3x$

$3x+7=-11$

$-7$

$-11+-7=-18$

$3x=-18$

$\div3$

$-18\div3=-6$

$x=-6$

$y=-2x-7$

$y=(-2)(-6)-7$

$-2\times-6=12-7=5$

$y=5$

Hope this helps.

3. 7.25

4. 6.5

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You just make a dot plot and count the amount of dots there are.

2. You go to your dot plot and see the smallest amount and you get your answer.

3. Same thing as the smallest amount, except you just have to find the greatest amount.

4. You just find which number appears the most on the dot plot, and bam you got your answer.

Plzzzz help due tomorrow

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

2.a)31°

b)135°

3.a)72°

Step-by-step explanation:

2a) Angles in a straight line add up to 180°

180-62=118°

since in an isosceles triangle base angles are equal 62÷2=31°

b)sum of interior angles=180(n-2)

180(8-2)=1080°

each angle is 1080÷8=135°

3.a) Exterior angle=360/n

=360÷5=72° each
