Jake made a total of 7 copies at a copy shop, with some being black-and-white copies and some being color copies. Black-and-whit

e copies cost 8 cents, and color copies cost 15 cents. If Jake spent a total of 70 cents on copies, which system of equations can be used to determine the number of black-and-white copies and the number of color copies he made? Assume b is the number of black-and-white copies and c is the number of color copies.

Jake spent a total of 70 cents.
b = black-and-white = 8 cents
c = color = 15 cents

70 = 8b + 15c

he made a total of 7 copies
b + c = 7

system of equation:
70 = 8b + 15c
b + c = 7

--------------------------

b + c = 7
b + c (-c) = 7 (-c)
b = 7 - c

plug in 7 - c for b

70 = 8(7 - c) + 15c
Distribute the 8 to both 7 and - c (distributive property)

70 = 56 - 8c + 15c
Simplify like terms

70 = 56 - 8c + 15c
70 = 56 + 7c

Isolate the c, do the opposite of PEMDAS: Subtract 56 from both sides

70 (-56) = 56 (-56) + 7c
14 = 7c

divide 7 from both sides to isolate the c

14 = 7c
14/7 = 7c/7
 c = 14/7
 c = 2

c = 2
---------------

Now that you know what c equals (c = 2), plug in 2 for c in one of the equations.
b + c = 7
c = 2
<em>b + (2) = 7
</em><em />Find b by isolating it. subtract 2 from both sides
b + 2 = 7
b + 2 (-2) = 7 (-2)
b = 7 - 2
b = 5

Jake made 5 black-and-white copies, and 2 color copies

hope this helps

Olivia drives 90 miles in 2 hours. She drives 225 miles in 5 hours. She writes an equation in the form y=mx to represent the num
saul85 [17]

Answer:

y=270\textrm{ miles}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of miles is represented by y and number of hours is represented by x.

The equation to show the relationship between x and y is y=mx

Now, for x=2,y=90

Plug in the above equation and solve for m. This gives,

90=m(2)\\m=\frac{90}{2}=45\textrm{ mi/h}

Hence, the equation is y=45x.

Now, if the line passes through (6,y), then x = 6.

So, y=45(6)=270\textrm{ miles}

Therefore, the value of y is 270 miles.

Divide 3p2 + 6p + 2 by 3p2.
kondor19780726 [428]

We need to divide

\frac{3p^2+6p+2}{3p}

So, we can divide each terms of the numerator by 3p. So,

\frac{3p^2}{3p} +\frac{6p}{3p} +\frac{2}{3p}

=p+2+\frac{2}{3p}

\frac{2}{3p} [/tex] cannot be further simplify. So, the final answer is:

p+2+\frac{2}{3p}

Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

a) 13.277

Step-by-step explanation:

The chi-square critical value can be assessed using chi-square area table and for this table need value of alpha and degree of freedom.

The value of alpha is given which is 0.01 and degree of freedom can be calculated as

df=k-1

Where k represent the categories which are 5 in the given case.

df=5-1=4.

For alpha=0.01 and df=4, we get the chi-square critical value 13.277.
