Answer:
I believe that the value of the variable is C: 50.
And Y = 180 - 50 = 130.
Good Luck!
<span>x+y = 23 and 2x+3y=55; The wording of the answer choices were confusing, but both of these come together to make the correct answer. First, you need x (number of bracelets) + y (number of necklaces) to determine how many of each were sold. Then, you add 2x (cost of each bracelet x bracelets sold) and 3y (same as bracelets but for necklaces). This results in the total amount sold.</span>
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
because the slope is 7 and y-int is 6
so, u must use y=mx+c
just replace the slope and y-int into that formula
I don't know what the "six-step method" is supposed to be, so I'll just demonstrate the typical method for this problem.
Let <em>x</em> be the amount (in gal) of the 50% antifreeze solution that is required. The new solution will then have a total volume of (<em>x</em> + 60) gal.
Each gal of the 50% solution used contributes 0.5 gal of antifreeze. Similarly, each gal of the 30% solution contributes 0.3 gal of antifreeze. So the new solution will contain (0.5 <em>x</em> + 0.3 * 60) gal = (0.5 <em>x</em> + 18) gal of antifreeze.
We want the concentration of antifreeze to be 40% in the new solution, so we need to have
(0.5 <em>x</em> + 18) / (<em>x</em> + 60) = 0.4
Solve for <em>x</em> :
0.5 <em>x</em> + 18 = 0.4 (<em>x</em> + 60)
0.5 <em>x</em> + 18 = 0.4 <em>x</em> + 24
0.5 <em>x</em> - 0.4 <em>x</em> = 24 - 18
0.1 <em>x</em> = 6
<em>x</em> = 6/0.1 = 60 gal
How many books has she read so far? She's been doing this for 7 months, so so far she's read:
7*3=21
how many does she still need to read?
30-21=9
so she needs to read 9 more books. With 3 books a month, this means:
9/3=3
so she needs to read 9 more books, which will take her 3 months!
