Each course at college X is worth either 2 or 3 credits. The members of the men's swim team are taking a total of 48 courses that are worth a total of 107 credits. How many 2-credit courses and how many 3-credit courses are being taken?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the number of courses that are worth 3 credits each be x and those worth 4 credits be y. With the given information, you can write the following equations:  

x + y = 48

3x + 4y = 155

 

You can solve the above equations by method of elimination/substitution

x + y = 48 ⇒ x = 48 - y (Now, substitution this equation into 3x + 4y = 155)

3(48 - y) + 4y = 155

144 -3y + 4y = 155

y + 144 = 155

y = 11

 

Now plug this solution back into x = 48 - y  

x = 48 - 11 = 37  

 

Check work (by plugging the solutions back into the 3x + 4y and see if it's equal to 155):

3(37) + 4(11) = 155

Answer: There are 37 of the 3-credit course and 11 of the 4-credit course

Please help! Determine whether the conjecture is true or false and put an example on why it is

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The first one is true. There can't be any other choice.

a = 5959599949 b = 0 then a*b = 0 because b = 0

The Second one is also true, although you may stall trying to figure out what is meant.

Suppose the angle to start with is 30 degrees

There are two angles that are supplementary to this angle. They can only be 180 - 30 = 150 each. Therefore they are equal to each other. This happens because supplementary angles must add to 180 and nothing else.

The third one is false. You can think of states like Montana which has 3 syllables and Wyoming which also has 3. Texas has two. But guess what? Maine only has 1.

The last one is also false. If you square an even number, you get an even number. Add 1 and you get an odd number. 4^2 = 16 Add 1 you get 17. Seventeen is odd.

the height of a tree is 170m the lower and upper bound of it's height is ​

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  [165, 175) meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule with respect to questions like this is that the bounds are ±1/2 of the place value of the least-significant digit. Here, the integer portion of the number has trailing zeros, and there is no decimal point or fractional part. Ordinarily, this combination of characteristics would signal that the trailing zeros are not significant, so the only significant digits are 1 and 7. The place value of the least significant digit is 10, so the bounds on the measurement are this number ±1/2(10) = ±5.

Of course, 175 rounds up to 180, so the upper bound is a limit, rather than an actual value. The height should be interpreted in this context as ...

  165 m ≤ height < 175 m

The lower and upper bounds are 165 m and 175 m, respectively.

_____

Additional comment

The best way to avoid any ambiguity as to whether trailing zeros are significant is to use scientific notation. If a zero in the ones place is significant, that is conventionally indicated by a decimal point: "170.". If scientific notation is used, the number would be reported as 1.70×10² to indicate the trailing zero is significant.

A clothing store is having a sale on shirts and jeans. Four shirts and two pairs of jeans cost $78. Three shirts and five pairs of jeans cost $111. The system of equations
4s + 2j = 78
3s + 5j = 111
models this situation, where s is the cost of a shirt and j is the cost of a pair of jeans. How much does one shirt and one pair of jeans cost?

Answers

Answer:

One shirt is $12 and one pair of jeans is $15

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve by elimination by multiplying the top equation by 3 and the bottom equation by -4:

12s + 6j = 234

-12s - 20j = -444

Add these together, and solve for j:

-14j = -210

j = 15

So, a pair of jeans is $15. Plug in 15 as j into one of the equations and solve for s:

3s + 5j = 111

3s + 5(15) = 111

3s + 75 = 111

3s = 36

s = 12

One shirt is $12 and one pair of jeans is $15.
