Answer:

Q = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

3 * P + 7 * Q + 15 * R = 102

7Q = 102 - 3P - 15R

Q = (102 - 3P - 15R)/7

Try P = 2; R = 3

Q = 51/7 not an integer

Try P = 2; R = 5

Q = 21/7 = 3

Solution: P = 2; Q = 3; R = 5

Answer: Q = 3

Which ordered pair is the best estimate for the solution of the system of equations

Colt1911 [192]

The ordered pair that is the best estimate for the solution of the system of equations is (7, 1/2)

The given system of equations is:

$y=-\frac{1}{2}x + 4.......................(1)\\\\y = \frac{1}{2}x-3..........................(2)$

Equate equations (1) and (2)

$-\frac{1}{2}x + 4=\frac{1}{2}x -3$

Solve for x in the equation above

$-\frac{1}{2}x -\frac{1}{2}x =-3-4\\\\-x=-7\\\\x=7$

Substitute x = 7 into equation (1)

$y=-\frac{1}{2}x + 4\\\\y=-\frac{1}{2}(7) + 4\\\\y=\frac{1}{2}$

The ordered pair that is the best estimate for the solution of the system of equations is (7, 1/2)

There were 567 people at a concert when a band started playing. After each song, only one-third of the people stayed to hear the

emmasim [6.3K]

To write the function correctly, it is important to assign variables correctly and understand the situation of the problem clearly. For this, we let y the number of people and x as the number of songs played.

At x = 0 y = 567
at x = 1 y = 567 - 567(1/3)
at x = 2 y = 567 - 567(1/3)(1/3)
at x = 3 y = 567 - 567(1/3)(1/3)(1/3)

Therefore, the number of people left after x songs would be represented by the equation:

y = 567 - 567(1/3)x
y = 567 ( 1- x/3 )
