ABC Bookstore sells one customer 12 used books and 4 new books for $136.
Another customer buys 14 used books and 2 new books for $124. How much
is one used book (u), and one new book (n)?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

n=6 u=28/3

Step-by-step explanation:

system of equations

Answer 2

The number of used books sold will be 7 and that of the new book will be 9.

How to form an equation?

Determine the known quantities and designate the unknown quantity as a variable while trying to set up or construct a linear equation to fit a real-world application.

In other words, an equation is a set of variables that are constrained through a situation or case.

Given

Number of used books = u

Number of new books  = v

In the first case;

12u + 4n =  136

In the second case;

28u + 4n = 248

By both equations,

u = 7 and n = 9

So the number of used books is 7 and the new is 9.

Mu Alpha Theta, a math honorary club, wants to raise money. The club plans to sell cards and bouquets of flowers for Valentine's Day. Cards cost the club $2 each; bouquets cost the club $3.50 each. Mu Alpha will sell the cards for $6 each, and the flowers for $8 each. The club can spend $360 to buy the cards and the flowers. It wants to collect $900 from its sales. Which linear equation represents this scenario?

A. 2x + 3.5y =360; 6x -8y =900
B. 2x + 3.5y = 360; 8x + 6y = 900
C. 2x - 3.5y = 360; 6x + 8y = 900
D. 2x + 3.5y = 360; 6x + 8y = 900
E. 2x + 6y = 360; 3.5x + 8y = 900
F. No equation.

Answers

Answer:

900

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+3.5y=360 and 6x+8y=900 are two linear equation that represents the given scenario.

We need to find the linear equations for the given situation.

What is the simultaneous equation?

Equations involving two or more unknowns that are to have the same values in each equation.

Let the number of cards be x and the number of flowers be y.

Cards cost the club $2 each; bouquets cost the club $3.50 each. The club can spend $360 to buy the cards and the flowers.

Now, 2x+3.5y=360

Mu Alpha will sell the cards for $6 each, and the flowers for $8 each. It wants to collect $900 from its sales.

Now, 6x+8y=900

Therefore, 2x+3.5y=360 and 6x+8y=900 are two linear equation that represents the given scenario.

trigonometric identities

Answers

With 180° < θ < 270°, we know that both cos(θ) < 0 and sin(θ) < 0.

Then from the Pythagorean identity, it follows that

sin²(θ) + cos²(θ) = 1   ==>   sin(θ) = -√(1 - cos²(θ))

and so

sin(θ) = -√(1 - (-8/13)²) = -√105/13

Recall the double angle identity for sine:

sin(2θ) = 2 sin(θ) cos(θ) = 2 (-√105/13) (-8/13) = 16√105/169

Step-by-step explanation:

perpendicular lines have a negative reciprocal gradient so

1/2 becomes -2/1 which is the gradient

sub in the values of x and y

2= -2 (3) +C

2= -6 + C

8=C

y=-2x +8

Answer:

y = -2x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

for me the easiest way is simply to transform the slope and then just determine the y-intersect.

the slope of the original line is 1/2.

it is always the factor of x and represents the y/x ratio of the function (how many units is y changing when x changes a certain number of units).

a perpendicular line (90 degree angle) simply reverses x and y and the sign of the original slope.

so, the slope of the perpendicular line is -2, and the equation is

y = -2x + c

and c we get by using the point coordinates :

2 = -2×3 + c

2 = -6 + c

c = 8

so, we have

y = -2x + 8

The students in a high school are being randomly split into focus and accountability groups that meet each morning for the first fifteen minutes of the school day. Each group contains four students, selected regardless of gender or grade level.

In order to explore the composition of the groups with regard to grade level, you have decided to conduct a simulation using colored discs. Since the number of students in each grade level is about the same, you put the same number of four different colored discs in a bag: red, blue, green, and yellow. You decide that red (r) represents the freshmen, blue (b) represents the sophomores, green (g) represents the juniors, and yellow (y) represents the seniors.

Answers

We must understand that certain standards has been layed down for the conversions of measuring units. A summary of such standards are discussed below:

1. Option A. 1 L = 1 dm³

2. Option A. 1 mL = 1 cm³

3. Option B. 0 K = −273 °C

4. Option B. 1000 g = 1 kg

5. Option A. 400 cm = 4.0 m

6. Option B. 1 dm = 0.10 m

7. Option A. 100°C = 373 K

1. Option A. 1 L = 1 dm³

Option B. 1 L = 1 cm³

From standard measurement,

1 L = 1 dm³

1 L = 1000 cm³

From the measuring standard, we can see that 1 L  ≠ 1 cm³.

Hence, option A gives the correct answer.

2. Option A. 1 mL = 1 cm³

Option B. 1 cm³ = 1 L

Hence, option A gives the correct answer.

From standard measurement,

1 mL = 1 cm³

1000 cm³ = 1 L

Thus, option A gives the correct answer.

3. Option A. 0°C = –273 K

Option B. 0 K = −273 °C

Recall:

T (K) = T(°C) + 273

T (K) = Temperature in Kelvin

T(°C) = Temperature in decree celcius

Next, we shall convert 0°C to K

T(°C) = 0°C

T (K) = T(°C) + 273

T (K) = 0 + 273

T (K) = 273 K

Thus, 0°C is equivalent to 273 K

Next, we shall convert 0 K to °C

T(K) = 0

T (K) = T(°C) + 273

0 = T(°C) + 273

Collect like terms

0 – 273 = T(°C)

T(°C) = –273°C

Thus, 0 K is equivalent to –273°C

Therefore, option B gives the correct answer.

4. Option A. 1 kg = 100 g

Option B. 1000 g = 1 kg

From standard measurement,

1 Kg = 1000 g

1000 g = 1 Kg

Hence, Option B gives the right answer

5. Option A. 400 cm = 4.0 m

Option B. 400 cm = 0.40 m

From standard measurement,

100 cm = 1 m

Converting 400 cm to m, we have:

[tex]400 cm = 1 m\\400 cm = \frac{400 cm * 1 m }{100 cm}\\400 cm = 4 m[/tex]

Thus, option A gives the correct answer.

6. Option A. 1 dm = 10 m

Option B. 1 dm = 0.10 m

From standard measurement,

10 dm = 1 m

Thus,

[tex]1 dm = \frac{1 dm * 1 m}{10 dm}\\1 dm = 0.1 m[/tex]

Therefore, option B gives the correct answer.

7. Option A. 100°C = 373 K

Option B. 373 K = 10°C

Recall:

T (K) = T(°C) + 273

T (K) = Temperature in Kelvin

T(°C) = Temperature in decree celcius

Next, we shall convert 100°C to K

T(°C) = 100°C

T (K) = T(°C) + 273

T (K) = 100 + 273

T (K) = 373 K

Thus, 100°C is equivalent to 373 K

Next, we shall convert 373 K to °C

T(K) = 373

T (K) = T(°C) + 273

373 = T(°C) + 273

Collect like terms

373 – 273 = T(°C)

T(°C) = 100°C

Thus, 373 K is equivalent to 100°C

Therefore, option A gives the correct answer.

SUMMARY:

1. Option A. 1 L = 1 dm³

2. Option A. 1 mL = 1 cm³

3. Option B. 0 K = −273 °C

4. Option B. 1000 g = 1 kg
