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

Mathematics
1 answer:
ss7ja [257]3 years ago
4 0

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

What is the solution to this equation? <br> log_7 (5 + 11x) = 2
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the rule of logarithms

log_{b} x = n , then x = b^{n}

Given

log_{7} (5 + 11x) = 2 , then

5 + 11x = 7² = 49 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

11x = 44 ( divide both sides by 11 )

x = 4

Find the sale price to the nearest cent<br> $53 pair of jeans with a 20% discount
Artist 52 [7]

Answer: It is $42.4

Step-by-step explanation: Multiply (0.20)(53), you get 10.6, now that's the price that is discounted, so subtract that from the total, to get $42.4. If you want to check your answer, do 42.4/53 and you would get 0.80, or 80%. That is what you should get since you have a 20% discount from 100% of a product.

90 x= 81 + 25 <br> I need help ?
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

x = \frac {53} {45}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1:  Combine on the right side </u>

90x = 81 + 25

90x = 106

<u>Step 2:  Divide both sides by 90 </u>

\frac {90x} {90} = \frac {106} {90}

x = \frac {106/2} {90/2}

x = \frac {53} {45}

Answer:  x = \frac {53} {45}
