Answer:

All real numbers

Step-by-step explanation:

Since x=2y+5, and 2x-4y=10, substitute 2y+5 for x into 2x-4y=10

2(2y+5)-4y=10

Use distributive prop.

4y+10-4y=10

10=10

Since both sides of the equation are always equivalent,

All real numbers work, since the two equations are the same line.

Paul can install a 300 hundred square foot hardwood floor in 18 hours. Matt can install the same floor in 22 hours. How long wou

Vadim26 [7]

ANSWER

Paul and Matt will take
$9.9 \: \: hours$
to install the floor working together.

EXPLANATION

First, calculate Paul's rate, which is

$= \frac{1}{18}$

Next, calculate Matt's rate, which is,
$= \frac{1}{22}$

Let us assume that, Paul and Matt took
$x \: hours$
to do the work together.

Then, the rate of working together is,

$= \frac{1}{x}$

Now, add the individual rates and equate to the rate of working together to form an equation that will help us solve for x.

$\frac{1}{18} + \frac{1}{22} = \frac{1}{x}$

Simplify the left hand side

$\frac{11 + 9}{198} = \frac{1}{x}$

$\frac{20}{198} = \frac{1}{x}$

We reciprocate both sides to get (You could have also done cross multiplication).

$\frac{198}{20} = \frac{x}{1}$

$x = 9.9 \: hours$

Dorian buys 2 pounds of almonds for $21.98 and 3 pounds of dried apricots for $26.25. Which is less expensive per pound? How muc

ozzi

Answer:

The apricots are less expensive per pound.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of 1 pound of almonds = 21.98/2

Cost of 2 pounds of almonds = $21.98

So then you have to do 21.98 - 21.98/2. Which equals $10.99

Cost of 1 pound of dried apricots = 26.25/3

Cost of 3 pounds of dried apricots = $26.25

So then you have to do $26.25 - 26.25/3 which = $17.5 then divide that by 2 which equals $8.75.

To find out how much less expensive you have to find the difference, so to do that you have to do $10.99 - $8.75 = $2.24 per pound less expensive.

A publisher sells 10⁶ copies of a new book. Each book sells 10² pages. How many pages total are there in all of the books sold?

KatRina [158]

Answer:

10^12.

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to solve 10^6 * 10^2 without using standard notation. As with variables, if you had x^6 * x^2 you would add the exponents. Replace x with 10. Your answer is 10^8. As a sidenote, only multiply exponents when raising a power to another power, e.g. (10^6)^2 = 10^12.
