8v + 9b = 228
4v + 5b = 124....multiply by -2
------------------
8v + 9b = 228
-8v - 10b = - 248 (result of multiplying by -2)
----------------add
-b = - 20
b = 20 <=== each bus holds 20 students

4v + 5b = 124
4v + 5(20) = 124
4v + 100 = 124
4v = 124 - 100
4v = 24
v = 24/4
v = 6 <=== each van holds 6 students

13. En un pueblo, 5 personas escucharon una noticia. En una hora, cada una de ellas
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

En 5 horas se habrá enterado todo el pueblo.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sabemos que en un pueblo 5 personas escucharon una noticia.

Una hora más tarde, cada una de ellas le contó la noticia a otras 5.

Luego, éstas contaron la noticia a otras 5 y así sucesivamente.

Nadie cuenta ni escucha la noticia más de una vez y en ese pueblo hay un poco más de 19000 habitantes.

La ecuación a desarrollar para resolver el problema es la siguiente :

Comenzamos con 5 personas que escucharon la noticia a la ''hora 0''.

Una hora más tarde, cada una de ellas le contó a 5 personas, es decir , pasada la primera hora tendremos :

5+5^{2}=30 (I)

Las 5 personas originales de la ''hora 0'' más 25 personas que se enteraron pasada la primera hora. La ecuación que planteamos es la siguiente :

5^{1}+5^{2}+5^{3}+...+5^{x}>19000 (II)

Buscamos el valor de x que satisface la ecuación (II).

Probando y realizando las sumas encontramos que :

5^{1}+5^{2}+5^{3}+5^{4}+5^{5}+5^{6}>19000

19530>19000

El valor de x que satisface (II) es x=6.

Para hallar el número de horas nos fijamos que en (I) el valor del mayor exponente del 5 es el número 2. Para ese valor 2, el tiempo que pasó es una hora.

Entonces para nuestro x=6, el número de horas que pasaron son 5 horas (1 menos que el valor de x)

Todo el pueblo se habrá enterado en 5 horas de la noticia.

HELP MEEEEEEEEEE Package A contains 3 birthday cards and 2 thank-you notes and costs $9.60. Package B contains 8 birthday cards
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

Each birthday card costs $2.2 ⇒ answer c

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- Package A contains 3 birthday cards and 2 thank-you notes

- It costs $9.60

- Package B contains 8 birthday cards and 6 thank-you notes

- It costs $26.60

- x represents the cost of birthday card and y represents the cost of

 thank-you note

* Lets change these information to two equations

∵ x represents the cost of each birthday cards

∵ y represents the cost of each thank-you notes

∵ Bag A contains 3 birthday cards and 2 thank-you notes

∵ Bag A costs $9.60

∴ 3x + 2y = 9.60 ⇒ (1)

∵ Bag B contains 8 birthday cards and 6 thank-you notes

∵ Bag B costs $26.60

∴ 8x + 6y = 26.60 ⇒ (2)

* Lets solve this system of equations to find x and y

- Multiply equation (1) by -3 to eliminate y

∵ -3(3x) + -3(2y) = -3(9.60)

∴ -9x - 6y = -28.8 ⇒ (3)

- Add equations (2) and (3)

∴ -x = -2.2

- Multiply both sides by -1

∴ x = 2.2

∵ x represents the cost of each birthday cards

∴ The cost of each birthday card is $2.2

* Each birthday card costs $2.2

What is the value of b and the missing symbol in Jamilla’s inequality?
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

b=1, \geq

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The absolute value function has two solutions

Observing the graph

the solutions are

x\geq 1 and x\leq -3

First solution (case positive)

assume the symbol of the first solution and then compare the results

\left|x+b\right|\ge2

(x+b)\ge2

x\ge2-b

2-b=1\\b=2-1\\ b=1

Second solution (case negative)

-(x+b)\ge2

Multiply by -1 both sides

(x+b)\leq-2

substitute the value of b and compare the results

(x+1)\leq-2

x\leq-2-1

x\leq-3 -------> is correct
