Step-by-step explanation:

this is what you are told in the problem

x+y=23............1 (the sum)

x-y=7.................2 (the difference)

PS make sure to number your equations

in equation 1 we can take x over so that we form a new equation labelled equation 3

y=23-x...........3

sub 3 into 2

x-(23-x)=7

x-23+x=7

2x=7+23

2x=30

x=15.........4

sub 4 into 1

15+y=23

y=23-15

y=8

Answer:

Below in bold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the elimination method:

a.   x + y = 23

     x - y = 7

b.  Adding the 2 equations eliminates y, so we have

     2x = 30

        x = 15.

     Substitute x = 15 in equation a:

      15 + y = 23

         y = 23 - 15

        y =  8.

       Answer x = 15, y = 6.

assuming the growth rate stays constant at 1.2%, how many doublings would take place in a 500- year period?
Juliette [100K]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  8.6

Step-by-step explanation:

The growth factor per year is 1.012, so in 500 years is ...

  1.012^500

The number of doublings is the solution to ...

  2^n = 1.012^500

Taking logarithms, we have ...

  n·log(2) = 500·log(1.012)

  n = 500·log(1.012)/log(2) ≈ 8.6046

About 8.6 doublings will take place in 500 years.

The number of possible seats is an illustration of permutation

There are 1728 possible sitting arrangements

<h3>How to determine the number of seats</h3>

From the question, we have the following highlights:

  • Chris can only take 1 seat (i.e. the central seat)
  • Jo can take 2 seats (i.e. the seats adjacent the central seat)
  • Alex, Barb and Dave can take 3! number of seats
  • Eddie, Fred, and Gareth can take 3! number of seats on the right of Chris.
  • The remaining 4 adults do not have preference, then they can seat in 4! ways

So, the number of sitting arrangement is:

n = 1 * 2 * 3! * 3! * 4!

Evaluate the product

n = 1728

Hence, there are 1728 possible sitting arrangements

What does find the constant rate of change mean?
natulia [17]

The change of the cost changes when the pounds of ham changes. When the pounds of ham is 0, it costs 0 dollars. When the pounds of ham is 3, it costs 12 dollars. The cost changes consistently with the pounds of ham. They change together. Every time the pounds of ham goes up by 3, the cost goes up by 12.
