The system of equation that can be used to represent the situation is as follows;

a - b = 8

299a+399b=10,768

The total tents that were sold is 20.

a = number of two person tent

b = number of three person tent

The Tent Market sells two-person tents for $299 and three-person tents for $399. In may , 8 more two-person tents than three-person tents were sold for a total of $10,768. Therefore, the following equation is formed.

<h3>Combined equation</h3>
  • b + 8 = a; a - b = 8
  • 299(b+8) + 399b = 10768

Therefore,

299(b+8) + 399b = 10768

299b + 2392 + 399b = 10768

698b = 8376

b = 8376 / 698

b = 12

Therefore,

a = 12 + 8 = 20

Therefore, 20 two person tent were sold and 12 three person tent were sold. The total tents that were sold is 20.

Let A be a set of numbers.
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

a. closed under addition and multiplication

b. not closed under addition but closed under multiplication.

c. not closed under addition and multiplication

d. closed under addition and multiplication

e. not closed under addition but closed under multiplication

Step-by-step explanation:

a.

Let A be a set of all integers divisible by 5.

Let x,y∈A such that x=5m\,,\,y=5n

Find x+y,xy

x+y=5m+5n=5(m+n)

So, x+y is divisible by 5.

xy=(5m)(5n)=25mn=5(5mn)

So,

xy is divisible by 5.

Therefore, A is closed under addition and multiplication.

b.

Let  A = { 2n +1 | n ∈ Z}

Let x,y∈A such that x=2m+1\,,\,y=2n+1 where m, n ∈ Z.

Find x+y,xy

x+y=2m+1+2n+1=2m+2n+2=2(m+n+1)

So,

x+y ∉ A

xy=(2m+1)(2n+1)=4mn+2m+2n+1=2(2mn+m+n)+1

So,

xy∈ A

Therefore, A is not closed under addition but A is closed under multiplication.

c.

Let A=\{2,5,8,11,14,...\}

Let x=2,y=5 but x+y=2+5=7∉A

Also,

xy=2(5)=10∉A

Therefore, A is not closed under addition and multiplication.

d.

Let A = { 17n: n∈Z}

Let x,y ∈ A such that x=17n,y=17m

Find x + y and xy

x+y=17n+17m=17(n+m)

xy=(17m)(17n)=289mn=17(17mn)

So,

x+y,xy ∈ A

Therefore, A is closed under addition and multiplication.

e.

Let A be the set of nonzero real numbers.

Let x,y ∈ A such that x=-1,y=1

Find x + y

x+y=-1+1=0

So,

x+y ∈ A

Also, if x and y are two nonzero real numbers then xy is also a non-zero real number.

Therefore, A is not closed under addition but A is closed under multiplication.

Jaime has 38 marbles if Jorge had 14 more marbles he would have twice as many as Jaime how many marbles does Jorge have now?
Ganezh [65]

Answer:  Jorge has 62 marbles.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that Jaime has 38 marbles if Jorge had 14 more marbles he would have twice as many as Jaime.

We are to find the number of marbles that Jorge has.

Let x and y represents the number of marbles that Jalme and Jorge has respectively.

Then, according to the given information, we have

x=38

and

y+14=2x\\\\\Rightarrow y+14=2\times38\\\\\Rightarrow y+14=76\\\\\Rightarrow y=76-14\\\\\Rightarrow y=62.

Thus, Jorge has 62 marbles.
