Answer:

  • 15 at $100
  • 48 at $25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of higher-value ($100) prizes. Then (63-x) is the number of $25 prizes. The total value of the prizes is ...

  100x +25(63 -x) = 2700

  75x = 1125 . . . . . . . . . subtract 1575 and simplify

  x = 15 . . . . . . . . . divide by 75; number of $100 prizes

  63-x = 63 -15 = 48 . . . . number of $25 prizes

There are 15 $100 prizes and 48 $25 prizes.

Answer:

$100 prize = 15, $25 prize = 48

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

$100 prize = x

$25 prize = y

=> x + y = 63 (1)

=> 100x + 25y = 2700 (2)

=> 100x/25 + 25y/25 = 2700/25

=> 4x + y = 108 (3)

On subtracting 2 and 3

=> 4x + y - (x + y) = 108 - 63

=> 4x + y - x - y = 45

=> 3x = 45

=> x = 15

=> 15 + y = 63

=> y = 63 - 15

=> y = 48

Prove the polynomial identity.
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Explanation:

Since we have given that

(2x+1)^2-2(2x+1)

Now, we have to prove it as

(2x+1)(2x-1)

Now, start the iterations:

(2x+1)^2-2(2x+1)\\\\=4x^2+1+4x-4x-2\\\\=4x^2+1-2\\\\=4x^2-1\\\\=(2x)^2-1\\\\=(2x+1)(2x-1)

So, first blank will be filled with

4x^2+4x+1

Second blank will be filled with

4x^2-1

Hence proved.

Solve by elimination<br> 5x+4y = 12<br> 3x - 3y = 18<br><br> Please help solve and provide steps.
SOVA2 [1]
First you solve for y.
5x+ y= 12 so Y= 12-5x
And plug it into the next equation
3x- 3(12-5x) = 18
Distribute
3x-36+15x=18
Add 36 to both sides
3x+ 15x= 54
18x= 54 ... divide
x= 3
And you can plug in x to solve for Y
5(3) + y = 12
15+ y = 12 ...subtract 15 from both sides
y= -3
