Answer:

Pumkins $7 and Watermelons $5

Step-by-step explanation:

let pumkins be P and watermelons be W s0

5P+20W=135 and 10P+16W=150

express first equation in terms of P

5P+20W=135

5P=135-20W (divide equation by 5)

P=27-4W

now express the second equation using the new P value

10P+16W=150

10(27-4W)+16W=150

270-40W+16W=150

120=24W

W=5

now plug in w value and solve for p

5P+20(5)=135

P=7

How to convert nonlinear equation to linear equation?

9966 [12]

Let's take the non-linear equation:
${x}^{2} = \sqrt{3} y$
First Make The Equation To Be In Terms of Y

*Divide Both sides by
$\sqrt{3}$
$\frac{ {x}^{2} }{ \sqrt{3} } = \frac{ \sqrt{3} y}{ \sqrt{3} }$
*Simplify
$\frac{ {x}^{2} }{ \sqrt{3} } = y$
You shouldn't keep a radical in the denominator, however we leave it for the purpose of the reciprocal.

*Take The Reciprocal Of Both Sides
$\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{ {x}^{2} } = \frac{1}{y}$
A Linear Equation Takes The Format:
$y = mx + b$
So,
$\frac{1}{y} = y$
$b = 0$
$m(slope) = \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{x}$
$x = \frac{1}{x}$
Resulting in :
$\frac{1}{y} = \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{x} (\frac{1}{x} ) + 0$

Answer for both pleaseeeeeeeeeee

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

0 and yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a=6m where m is any integer since a is divisible by 6. (a+12)/3=(6m+12)/3=2m+4 which is also an integer. The remainder is 0.

Since n is divisible by 3, n can be written as 3a, where a is any integer and m can be written as 2b, where b is any integer. n*m+12=6ab+12 which is divisible by 2.

The millers drove 150 miles in 3 hours at what rate how long will it take them to drive 400 miles

valentina_108 [34]

Rate = (150 miles)/(3 hrs) = 50 mph

so . . .

(50 mph)*(time) = 400 miles

*divide both sides by 50 mph

time = (400 miles)/(50 mph) = 8 hrs

time = 8 hrs
