Answer:

40 black ink cartridges and 19 colored ink cartridges

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b represent the number of black printer ink cartridges sold. Let c represent the number of color printer ink cartridges sold.

Set up a system of equations:

\displaystyle\\\begin{cases}b+c=59\\17.99b+20.99c=1,118.41\end{cases}

b+c=59\implies b=59-c

Substitute:

\displaystyle\\17.99(59-c)+20.99c=1,118.41\\\implies c=\boxed{19}

\implies b+19=59\implies b=\boxed{40}

⇒ 40 black ink cartridges, 19 colored ink cartridges (ans)

What is the value of x in this equation? 4(x + 6) – 3x = 26
alexdok [17]

Answer:

x = 2

4 (x + 6) - 3x = 26

solve the parenthesis

4x + 24 - 3x = 26

subtract 24 from both sides to get x by itself

4x - 3x = 2

solve

x = 2

The atmospheric pressure on an object decreases as altitude increases. If a is the height (in km) above sea level, then the pres
seraphim [82]

Answer:

373.8mmHg

Step-by-step explanation:

a =height (in km) above sea level,

the pressure P(a) (in mmHg) is approximated given as

P(a) = 760e–0.13a .

To determine the atmospheric pressure at 5.458 km, then we will input into the equation

P(5.458km) = 760e–0.13a .

= 760e^(-0.13×5.458)

=760e^-(0.70954)

= 760×0.4919

=373.8mmHg

Therefore, the atmospheric pressure at 5.458 km is 373.8mmHg
