6v+12b=504 2v+5b=204

Mathematics

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

6v + 12b = 504       eq1

2v +  5b = 204        eq2

6v +  15b = 612       eq2  times 3    

0     -3b   = 504 - 612        subtraction of the two bolded eqs

         -3b  =  -108                solve for b

            b  =    36

    Another way to solve the problem

6v + 12b = 504        I would eliminate the v term by multiplying the bottom

2v +  5b = 204        equation by -3 on BOTH sides and then add the two eqs

   2v +  5b  = 204

-3(2v +  5b) = -3(204)

 -6v  -  15b  =  -612

   

6v  + 12b  =   504

-6v  -  15b  =  -612            add the like terms

(6v + (-6v)) + (12b + (-15b)  =  504 + (-612)

(6v -6v)) + (12b - 15b)  =  504 - 612)

    0       +         -3b     =    - 108            solve for b   divide both sides by -3

                           b   =  -108/-3

                             b =  36                  

use eq   2v +  5b = 204       to solve for v       and knowing b = 36

        2v +  5b = 204      b=36

        2v +  5(36)  = 204                 substract 5 times 36 from both sides

                 2v   =   204 - 180

                    v  =    24 / 2

                    v  =  12

NOW CHECK the values for b and v using the OTHER eq

       6v      +     12b      =    504

       6(12)   +   12(36)    =    504

         72    +     432      =    504

                        504      =    504           IT CHECKS

An experienced cashier at a grocery store takes 2 seconds to scan each item and 40 seconds to process the customer's payment. 1)
grigory [225]

Answer:

The correct option is D) 43 items.

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that total given time is ,

Y = (60\times2) +6 =126\hspace{0.15cm} sec,

Out of which cashier spends 40 seconds to process the customer's payment.

So the remaining time = (126 - 40) = 86 secs.

And the remaining time is used to scan the item and so that we can calculate here the no items scan is = (86 ÷ 2) = 43.

Therefore we can say that 43 items are being purchased.
