Answer:
x = 1, y = 60
Step-by-step explanation:
Value of new-releases (x) = $20 each
Value of classic (y) = $8 each
Total budget = $500
Equation : 20x + 8y = 500
The librarian wants to purchase maximum DVDs. She can get more DVDs of classic movies for $8 as they are less costly.
Lets assume the librarian buys at least one new-release DVD.
x=1
20x + 8y = 500
8y + 20(1) = 500
y = 60
<em>Therefore, in a budget of $500, the librarian can purchase 60 classic movies and 1 new-release.</em>

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
n + q = 20
.05n + .25q = 3.00
5n + 25q = 300
n + q = 20
5n + 25q = 300
-5n - 5q = -100
20q = 200
q = 10 quarters
n + 10 = 20
n = 10 nickels
(10 nickels, 10 quarters)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Water in a 10 gallon tank is draining at a rate of 2 gallons per hour.
= 10 - 2x
Water in a separate tank is filling at a rate of 4 gallons per hour.
= 10 + 4x
Equating both Equations together
10 - 2x = 10 + 4x
10 - 10 = 4x - 2x
How long until the tanks have the same amount of water?
Let the time = x
Answer
402 meters ÷ 18 seconds

Answer:
x = 6 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Total area of the given polygon = Area of triangle 1 + Area of rectangle 2 + Area of triangle 3
Area of triangle 1 = Area of triangle 3 = 
= 
= 4x square feet
Area of rectangle 2 = Length × Width
= 16 × 8
= 128 square feet
Total area of the given polygon = 4x + 128 + 4x
176 = 8x + 128
8x = 176 - 128
x = 
x = 6 ft
