Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of votes received by Bill Randall = x

The the number of votes received by Corrine Brown = x  + 13,852

Total votes = 119,056

x +x + 13,852 = 119,056

2x + 13,852 = 119,056

         2x      = 119,056 - 13,852

              2x  = 105,204

                 x = 105204/2

x = 52602

The number of votes received by Bill Randall = x = 52,602

The the number of votes received by Corrine Brown = 52,602 + 13,852

 = 66,454

Elena-2011 [213]
Let x equals to amount charged for downloading individual songs \Rightarrow y equals to amount charged for downloading an entire album.

Solve the system for y:
\left\{{{6x+2y = 25.92,}\atop{4x + 3y = 33.93;}}\right \left\{{{6x+2y = \frac{648}{25},}\atop{4x + 3y = \frac{3393}{100};}}\right
\\\left\{{{6x+2y-2y = \frac{648}{25}-2y,}\atop{4x + 3y = \frac{3393}{100};}}\right \left\{{{6x = \frac{648}{25}-2y,}\atop{4x + 3y = \frac{3393}{100};}}\right
\\\left\{{{x = \frac{-25y+324}{75},}\atop{4x + 3y = \frac{3393}{100};}}\right \left\{{{x = \frac{-25y+324}{75},}\atop{4\frac{-25y+324}{75} + 3y = \frac{3393}{100};}}\right
\left\{{{x = \frac{-25y+324}{75},}\atop{\frac{4(-25y+324)}{75} * 300 + 3y * 300 = \frac{3393}{100} * 300;}}\right \left\{{{x = \frac{-25y+324}{75},}\atop{16(-25y+324)+900y = 10179;}}\right
\\\left\{{{x = \frac{-25y+324}{75},}\atop{500y+5184 = 10179;}}\right \left\{{{x = \frac{-25y+324}{75},}\atop{500y = 4995;}}\right
\\\left\{{{x = \frac{-25y+324}{75},}\atop{y = \frac{999}{100} = 9.99;}}\right

Solving the system for x is unoptional since we already have the answer we've been looking for. Your answer is 9.99\$.

Sonya can walk 6 kilometers in 3 hours. If she had to walk 10 kilometers how much time will it take her?
Troyanec [42]
Well... if 6 kilometers equals 3 hours, 10 kilometers would equal her 5 hours.
Because, 6k equals 3 hours, another 6k would equal 6 hours. So what I did was,
that, every 2 kilometers equaled a hour so do that up to tan its 5 hours

Solve the system of equations. <br> 2x=-9y=14<br><br> X=-6x+7
Pie

Answer:

x is 7 and y is 0

Step-by-step explanation:

So you can replace the x in the first equation:

2*(-6y+7)-9y = 14 

distributive law

-12y+14-9y = 14

-21y+14=14

-14

-21y = 0

:(-21)

y = 0

Now you replace the y in the second equation with 0

x = -6*0+7

x = 7

ANSWER: x is 7 and y is 0

Martin solved an equation, as shown below: Step 1: 19v = 76 Step 2: v = 76 - 19 Step 3: v =57 Part A: Is Martin's answer correct
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

A. incorrect. He has to divide 76 by 19, instead of subtract 19 to 76.

B. This equation has one solution. v=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, Martin’s answer is incorrect.

A. He has to divide 76 by 19, instead of subtract 19 to 76.

The correct steps are:

19v = 76  

Since 19 is multiplying the variable, to eliminate it we have to divide by 19.

v = 76/19

v = 4

B. This equation has one solution. It’s v=4
