Answer:

Blue Ballon = 16

Yellow Ballon = 23

Green Ballon = 26

Red Ballon = 32

Total puffs = 1000

23y + 16(2y) + 32y + 26(y/2) = 1000

23y + 32y + 32y + 13y = 1000

100y = 1000

y = 1000/10

y = 10

Therefore, russell

filled 10 yellow balloons.

PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

While slavery was the major issue separating the North and South, it was not slavery itself that sparked the conflict. The South wanted to secede from the Union, and the North refused. While President Abraham Lincoln personally opposed slavery, he recognized that it was legal under the U.S. Constitution at the time. He also recognized that few in the North were ready to go to war to free the slaves. For Lincoln and the northern majority, preservation of the Union was the foremost goal.

How many extraneous solutions does the equation below have?
FrozenT [24]

<u>Answer</u>

0


<u>Explanation</u>

(2m)/(2m+3)-(2m)/(2m-3)=1

Simplifying the left hand first

(2m)/(2m+3)-(2m)/(2m-3) = {2m(2m-3) - 2m(2m+3)}/(4m²-9)

                                        (4m²-6m-4m²-6m)/(4m²-9)

                                         = (-12m) / (4m²-9)

Now this equet to 1

(-12m) / (4m²-9) = 1

-12m =  4m²-9

4m²+ 12m -9 =0 ⇒⇒⇒ This is a quadratic equation that has 2 real solutions.

4m²+ 12m -9 =0

m² + 3m + (3/2)²= 9/4 + 9/4

(m + 3/2)² = 18/4

m = √18/2 - 3/2                or m = -√18/2 - 3/2

    = 0.621                                       = -3.621

So we can say that the equation has NO extraneous solutions.
