Answer:
The jeweler made 9 necklaces.
The jeweler made 8 bracelets.
Step-by-step explanation:
x = number of bracelets
y = number of necklaces
17 = x + y
238 = 5x + 22y
Make one of the coefficients, x, the same.
17 = x + y
Multiply this equation by 5.
85 = 5x + 5y
Subtract the equations to get rid of x.
(238 = 5x + 22y) - (85 = 5x + 5y)
(5x - 5x) + (22y - 5y) = 238 - 85
22y - 5y = 238 - 85
17y = 153
y = 153/17 = 9
The jeweler made 9 necklaces. Substitute this back into one of the equations to find x.
17 = x + y
17 = x + 9
17 - 9 = x
x = 8
238 = 5x + 22y
238 = 5x + 22(9)
238 = 5x + 198
238 - 198 = 5x
40 = 5x
x = 40/5
x = 8
The jeweler made 8 bracelets.
Answer:
d(1) = -3 and d(2)= -28
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the distance d, in centimeters, that a diving board bends below its resting position when you stand at its end is dependent on your distance x, in meters, from the stabilized point
For finding out the distances for x=1 and x=2
let us substitute 1 and 2 for x
d(1) = -3 and d(2)= -28
The correct answer is the first option.
If you want to use elimination, you can sum the two equations for example, so that the x's simplify:
Plug this value for y in one of the equations to derive the value of x:
So, the solution is 
It can help because 9×4 =36, and 9×8=72. if you divide 72 by 2 you get 36 which is the answer to 9 ×4. basically because nine is the same in both problems you are multiplying by 4 (and you know 4 is half of 8) you can assume that multiplying the sum of 4 and 9 that you will get the sum of 8 and 9.
Answer:
5 (5x1) , -10 -(5x2), 20(10x2), -40 -(20x2), 80(40x2)
so the next number should be previous number in the sequence multiplied by 2 and a negative sign.
-`(80x2) = -160
