Mark bought 12 boxes of paper clips and 10 packages of index cards for a
total cost of $61.70. Janice bought 15 boxes of paper clips and 7 packages of
index cards for a total cost of $55.40. Find the cost of one box of paper clips
and the cost of one package of index cards.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

paper clips = $1.85

index cards = $3.95

Step-by-step explanation:

Mark

12 paper clips = x

10 index cards = y

$61.70 total

Janice

15 paper clips = x

7 index cards = y

$55.40 total

12x + 10y = 61.70

15x + 7y   = 55.40

*** you want to cancel out one of the letters

(12x + 10y = 61.70) * -7

(15x + 7y   = 55.40) * 10

-84x -70y = -431.9

150x + 70y = 554.0

150x + 70y = 554.0

-84x -70y = -431.9

66x + 0 = 122.1

66x = 122.1

x = 122.1 ÷ 66

x = 1.85

plug it back in

15(1.85) + 7y   = 55.40

27.75 + 7y   = 55.40

7y   = 55.40 - 27.75

7y = 27.65

y = 27.65 ÷ 7

y = 3.95

find the sum of the first 20 terms of the arithmetic sequence 4, -4, -12, -20​

Answers

Answer:

The sum of the first 20 terms is -1440.

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the sum of the first 20 terms of the arithmetic sequence:

4, -4, -12, -20...

The sum of an arithmetic sequence is given by:

[tex]\displaystyle S=\frac{k}{2}(a+x_k)[/tex]

Where k is the number of terms, a is the initial term, and x_k is the last term.

Since we want to find the sum of the first 20 terms, k = 20.

Our initial term a is 4.

Our last term is also the 20th term as we want the sum of the first 20 terms.

To find the 20th term, we can write an explicit formula for our sequence. The explicit formula for an arithmetic sequence is given by:

[tex]x_n=a+d(n-1)[/tex]

Where a is the initial term, d is the common difference, and n is the nth term.

Our initial term is 4. From the sequence, we can see that our common difference is -8 since each subsequent term is eight less than the previous term. Therefore:

[tex]x_n=4-8(n-1)[/tex]

Then the last or 20th term is:

[tex]x_{20}=4-8(20-1)=4-8(19)=-148[/tex]

Therefore, the sum of the first 20 terms are:

[tex]\displaystyle\begin{aligned} S_{20}&=\frac{(20)}{2}\left((4)+(-148))\\&=10(-144) \\&= -1440\end{aligned}[/tex]

Answer:

- 1440

Step-by-step explanation:

First-term is 4 and we subtract 8 to get the next term so the general term is

a(n) = 4 - 8(n -1)

The sum of the sequence is the average of the first and last terms multiplied by the number of terms: (a1 + an)/2 * n

We need the 20th term: a20 = 4 - 8(20–1) = 12 - 160 = - 148

The sum is (4 - 148)/2 * 20 = 10*(-144) = - 1440

Suppose that a department contains 10 men and 12 women. How many ways are there to form a committee with six members if it must have the same number of men and women

Answers

Answer:

The number of ways is 26,400 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

total number of men, M = 10

total number of women, W = 12

number of committees to be formed = 6

If there must be equal gender, then it must consist of 3 men and 3 women.

[tex]The \ number \ of \ ways = 10C_3 \times 12C_3\\\\The \ number \ of \ ways =\frac{10!}{3!7!} \times \frac{12!}{3!9!} \\\\T he \ number \ of \ ways = 120 \times 220 = 26,400 \ ways[/tex]

Therefore, the number of ways is 26,400 ways

The owner of a new pet store wishes to display tropical fish in display tanks. The above table shows the species that cannot live together. What is the minimum number of different tanks needed to safely house all the fish?

Answers

Answer:

The minimum number of different tanks needed to safely house all the fish is:

3 tanks.

Step-by-step explanation:

To identify the minimum number of different tanks, we're gonna concentrate in a fish species, in this case can be the A: as you see in the table, the A species can live with all the fish excepting the F and G, by their side, the F and G can't live together , by this reason, this three species must live in a different tank, in the next form:

Tank 1: A Tank 2: F Tank 3: G

Now the B species, it can live with A, F and G, but for this example we can put in the tank 1 (the tank of the A species). The C especies can live with A, F and G, but how we have A and B together, we're gonna put the C especies in the tank 3 (the tank of the G especies). The D species can live with A and G, we're gonna put in the tank 1 because can live with B species too. The E species can live with A and F, we're gonna put in the tank 2 (the tank of the F species) because the E species can't live with D that is in the in the tank 1. Al last, the H species just can live with A, E, F, and H species, by this reason, the only tank that can be put is the tank 2. In this form, the order is the next:

Tank 1: A, B, D. Tank 2: F, E, H. Tank 3: G, C.

And the owner of the pet store must buy three different tanks to display these tropical fish.

If a flexible air-filled container has a volume of 40 cu ft on the surface, what would the volume be at 99 feet in sea water

Answers

Answer:

50 cu ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of flexible air filled container at 99 feet in sea water is 10 cu.ft.

What is Boyle's law?

Boyle's Law states that If the temperature is constant, the volume of a  gas is inversely proportional to the absolute pressure.

V 1/V2 =P2/P1

V2 = P1 x V1 /P2

Substitute 60 psi for P2, 14.7 psi for P1 and 40cu.ft for V1, we get the volume V2

V2 = 40 x 14.7 / 60

V2 = 9.8 cu.ft

Volume is approximately 10 cu.ft.

Thus, the volume of flexible air filled container at 99 feet in sea water is 10 cu.ft.

1 / sqrt(3)

Step-by-step explanation:

tan(o) = sin(o) / cos(o)

sin(o) is the vertical distance from the x-axis. and that is in this basic circle the y-coordinate of the point.

cos(o) is the horizontal distance from the y-axis. that is the x-coordinate of the point.

so,

tan(o) = (1/2) / (sqrt(3)/2) = (2×1) / (2×sqrt(3)) = 1/sqrt(3)
