2. He can break his strand of 10 blocks into 3 3 times 4. I think it is 74 blocks are needed.
Answer:
$34,000
Step-by-step explanation:
First they had 30,000
Then wrote off 40,000
So balance is 30,000 - 40,000 = -10,000
Now, they want 8% of 300,000 as uncollectible. So that would be
0.08 * 300,000 = 24,000
Thus, to bring the balance to 24,000 [balance is -10,000], how much would they need to add?? Let it be x:
-10,000 + x = 24,000
x = 24,000 + 10,000 = $34,000
When x = - 4 then
y = 1/2(-4) -6
y = -2 - 6
y = -8
solution (-4, -8)
answer is
B. (-4, -8) second choice
Answer:
3/4 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the weights :
weight of beans 1/4 pound, 1/2 pound, 3/4. pound and 1 pound.
Greatest weight = 1 pound
Least weight = 1/4 pound
Difference = greatest weight - Least weight
Difference = (1 - 1/4) pound
Difference in weight = 3/4 pounds
4x - 5y = -15
y = -3x + 22
Plug in your y= equation into the y variable in the other equation
4x - 5 (y) = -15
^^
y = (-3x + 22) = -15
4x - 5 (-3x + 22) = -15
Distribute
4x + 15x - 110 = -15
Combine like terms and add 110 over to -15
19x = 95
Then, divide the whole equation by 19
x = 5
Then, plug in your x into your y= equation
y = -3 (5) + 22
y = -15 + 22
y = 7
<em><u>x = 5</u></em>
<em><u>y = 7</u></em>
<em><u>(5, 7)</u></em>
