Answer:

Commercials x = 7

Movies y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let commercials = x

Let's movies = y

$40 is for commercials

$110 is for movies.

Commercials plus movies for the Year = 9

She earned total of $500

X+ y = 9..... equation 1

40x + 110y = 500.... Equation 2

Multipling equation one by 40

40x + 40y = 360

Subtracting equation one from equation 2

70y = 140

Y = 2

If y = 2

X + y = 9

X + 2 = 9

X = 9-2

X = 7

Cable has 24 pennies he has hafe as many nickels as pennies he has 5 more dimes than nickels he has 6 fewer quarters than dimes
Andreyy89
Pennies (P) = 24
Nickels = 1/2P
Dimes = 1/2P + 5
Quarters = (1/2P + 5) -6

Therefore...

Nickels = 1/2P = 1/2(24)= 12
Dimes = 12 + 5 = 17
Quarters = 17 - 6 = 11

If XY=18, YZ=14, and XZ=20, find the radius of each circle.
Pachacha [2.7K]
Let`s assume that points M, N and P are the touching points of those 3 circles:Then:Y M + M Z = 14,Z N + N X = 20X P + P Y = 18And also: M Z = ZN, Y M = P Y and N X = X P.Now we have a system of 3 equations ( Y M, M Z and X P  are the radii of each circle ):Y M + M Z = 14M Z + X P = 20X P + Y M = 18 Y M - M Z = - 14+X P  + Y M = 18 X P - M Z  = 4Y M - M Z = - 14+M Z + X P = 20 X P - Y M = 6  /* ( - 1 )X P  - M Z = 4 X P + Y M = - 6  X P - M Z = 4    Y M - M Z = - 2           Y M + M Z = 14            2 Y M = 12  =>  Y M = 6M Z - 6 = 2  =>   M Z = 8X P + 6 = 18 
 X P = 12
Radii of the circles are: 12, 8 and 6.

At the county fair, Darius can purchase 3 candy apples and 4 bags of peanuts for $11.33. He can purchase 9 candy apples and 5 ba
Ksenya-84 [330]
Let c represents the cost of a candy apple and b represents the cost of a bag of peanuts.

Darius can purchase 3 candy apples and 4 bags of peanuts. So his total cost would be 3c + 4b. Darius can buy 3 candy apples and 4 bags of peanuts in $11.33,so we can write the equation as: 

3c + 4b = 11.33   (1)

Darius can purchase 9 candy apples and 5 bags of peanuts. So his total cost would be 9c + 5b. Darius can buy 9 candy apples and 5 bags of peanuts in $23.56,so we can write the equation as: 

9c + 5b = 23.56   (2)

<span>Darius decides to purchase 2 candy apples and 3 bags of peanuts. The total cost in this case will be 2c + 3b. To find this first we need to find the cost of each candy apple and bag of peanuts by solving the above two equations.

Multiplying equation 1 by three and subtracting equation 2 from it, we get:

3(3c + 4b) - (9c + 5b) = 3(11.33) - 23.56

9c + 12b - 9c - 5b = 10.43

7b = 10.43

b = $1.49

Using the value of b in equation 1, we get:

3c + 4(1.49) = 11.33

3c = 5.37

c = $ 1.79

Thus, cost of one candy apple is $1.79 and cost of one bag of peanuts is $1.49.

So, 2c + 3b = 2(1.79) + 3(1.49) = $ 8.05

Therefore, Darius can buy 2 candy apples and 3 bags of peanuts in $8.05</span>

A spinner and 4 cards are shown below:
yan [13]

Answer: 1 over 20

Step-by-step explanation: If the spinner has 5 parts to it at purple is one of those parts then the spinner has a 1/5 chance of it landing there.

If there are 4 cards and 1 of them are pink then there is a 1/4 chance of picking pink(if done randomly)

So if we mutiply 1/4 and 1/5, we get 1/20

That is how I arrived at my answer of 1 over 20
