Total weight = 50 lb
x = number of 3-lb weights
y = number of 10-lb weights

weight of 3-lb weights = 3x
weight of 10-lb weights = 10y
total weight = 3x + 10y

equation
3x + 10y = 50

Answer:

56

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that there are 8 candidates for student government: Hal, Mary, Ann, Frank, Beth, John, Emily, and Tom.

The three candidates that receive the highest number of votes become candidates for a runoff election.

i.e. 3 persons out of 8 to be selected for becoming candidates for a runoff election.

Gareth has $2,000 to invest. Putting the money in a savings account at his local bank will earn him 2.2% annual interest.

Interest earned in local bank = 2000 * 22.2% = 2000 * 0.022 = 44

Putting the money in an online savings account will earn him 4.85% annual interest

Interest earned in online account = 2000 * 4.85% = 2000 * 0.0485 = 97

He will be charged $3 every time he makes an ATM withdrawal.

In online account, the interest is 97 . If he withdraws 18 times then

Total ATM fee is 18 * 3= 54 . so 97 - 54 = 43

43 is lower than 44 that is interest of local account.

Therefore, 18 ATM withdrawals make local savings account to be a better deal than the online savings account every year.

A 20-inch diameter bicycle tire rotates 200 times.
fenix001 [56]

Answer: B)1,047 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question, first, we have to calculate the circumference of the tire:

Circumference(C): π x diameter

C = π (20) = 62.83 inches.

Since 1 foot is equal to 12 inches.

62.83 ÷ 12 = 5.23 feet

Finally we have to multiply the result by 200:

5.23 x 200 = 1,047 feet

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
