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

Suppose y varies directly with x. If y = –4 when x = 8, what is the equation of direct variation? Complete the steps to write th
Sauron [17]

Answer:

y = -1/2 x

Step-by-step explanation:

Follow the directions "Complete the steps to write the equation of direct variation. Start with the equation of direct variation y = kx. Substitute in the given values for x and y to get . Solve for k to get . Write the direct variation equation with the value found for k."

y = kx substitute y = -4 and x = 8.

-4 = k*8

-4/8 = k

-1/2 = k

So the equation is y = -1/2(x).

PLEASE HELP ME!
algol13

Step-by-step explanation:

1.\sum_{i=1}^{5}3i

The simplest method is "brute force".  Calculate each term and add them up.

∑ = 3(1) + 3(2) + 3(3) + 3(4) + 3(5)

∑ = 3 + 6 + 9 + 12 + 15

∑ = 45

2.\sum_{k=1}^{4}(2k)^{2}

∑ = (2×1)² + (2×2)² + (2×3)² + (2×4)²

∑ = 4 + 16 + 36 + 64

∑ = 120

3.\sum_{k=3}^{6}(2k-10)

∑ = (2×3−10) + (2×4−10) + (2×5−10) + (2×6−10)

∑ = -4 + -2 + 0 + 2

∑ = -4

4. 1 + 1/4 + 1/16 + 1/64 + 1/256

This is a geometric sequence where the first term is 1 and the common ratio is 1/4.  The nth term is:

a = 1 (1/4)ⁿ⁻¹

So the series is:

\sum_{j=1}^{7}(\frac{1}{4})^{j-1}

5. -5 + -1 + 3 + 7 + 11

This is an arithmetic sequence where the first term is -5 and the common difference is 4.  The nth term is:

a = -5 + 4(n−1)

a = -5 + 4n − 4

a = 4n − 9

So the series is:

\sum_{j=1}^{5}(4j-9)

The town of Madison has a population of 25{,}00025,00025, comma, 000. The population is increasing by a factor of 1.121.121, poi
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

P(t)=25,000(1.12)^t

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The equation of a exponential growth function is given by

P(t)=a(b)^t

where

P(t) is the population in Madison

t is the number of years

a is the initial value

b is the factor of growth

we have

a=25,000\ people\\b=1.12

substitute

P(t)=25,000(1.12)^t
