Answer: History textbooks sold = 236, Sociology textbooks sold = 118

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given</u>

- There are in total 354 books

- Let x be the number of sociology textbooks sold

- Let 2x be the number of history textbooks sold

<u>Solve</u>

Given

x + 2x = 354

Combine like terms

3x = 354

Divide 3 on both sides

3x / 3 = 354 / 3

x = 118

2x = 118 × 2 = 236

Hope this helps!! :)

Please let me know if you have any questions

<u>Answer:</u>

<h2>sociology textbooks = 118</h2><h2>history textbooks = 236</h2>

<u>Explanation:</u>

sociology textbooks = 2 × history textbooks

354/3 = 118

sociology textbooks = 118

history textbooks = 118×2 = 236

It takes Lucas 3 hours to cycle from his home to his friends village but if travels 5 mph slower, it will take him 1.5 hours lon
Alika [10]

The distance from friend's village to Lucas's house is 45 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets assume the distance from Lucas home to friend's village is x miles

The time taken to cycle from Lucas home to friend's village is 3 hrs....t₁

The time taken if travelling at a 5 mph reduced speed is 1.5 hrs longer......t₂

t₂=4.5 hrs

t₁= 3 hrs

Speed for cycle in first instance, where t₁=3 hrs and distance is x miles

s₁=d/t = x/3 mph

Speed for cycle if travelling at a slower speed,

s=\frac{x}{3}-5

Time taken in the second instance when travelling at a slower speed

=\frac{x}{\frac{x}{3}-5 }=4.5\\ \\\frac{3x}{x-15} =4.5\\\\\\3x=4.5(x-15)\\\\3x=4.5x-67.5\\\\\\67.5=4.5x-3x\\\\\\67.5=1.5x\\\\\\67.5/1.5=x\\\\\\45=x

The distance from friend's village to Lucas's house is 45 miles

The equation to show the depreciation at the end of x years is

f(x) = 1500 - 200x

Data;

  • cost of machine = 1500
  • annual depreciation value = x

<h3>Linear Equation</h3>

This is an equation written to represent a word problem into mathematical statement and this is easier to solve.

To write a linear depreciation model for this machine would be

For number of years, the cost of the machine would become

1500 - 200x

This is properly written as

f(x) = 1500 - 200x

where x represents the number of years.

For example, after 5 years, the value of the machine would become

f(x) = 1500 - 200x\\f(5) = 1500 - 200(5)\\f(5) = 1500 - 1000\\f(5) = 500

The value of the machine would be $500 at the end of the fifth year.

From the above, the equation to show the depreciation at the end of x years is f(x) = 1500 - 200x

Find c.
Anika [276]

Answer:

9.7cm

Step-by-step explanation

According to the sine rule;

a/sinA = c/sinC

8/sin55 = c/sin82

Cross multiply

csin55 = 8sin82

c(0.8192) = 8(0.9903)

c = 8(0.9903)/0.8192

c = 7.9221/0.8192

c = 9.67

Hence the value of c to the nearest tenth is 9.7cm
