The town librarian bought a combination of new-release movies on DVD for $20 and classic movies on DVD for $8. Let x represent t

he number of new releases, and let y represent the number of classics. If the librarian had a budget of $500 and wanted to purchase as many DVDs as possible, which values of x and y could represent the number of new-release and classic movies bought?

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>

umka21 [38]

Answer:

5xyz

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{15x^2y^3z}{3xy^2}

Step 1: Divide the numbers

\frac{15}{3}=5\\\\=\frac{5x^2y^3z}{xy^2}

Step 2: Simplify

\frac{x^2}{x}\\\\= x\\\\=\frac{5xy^3z}{y^2}

Step 3: Simplify

\frac{y^3}{y^2} = y\\\\=5xyz

Therefore, the simplified answer is =5xyz

Alannah has two lengths of ribbon.
ankoles [38]

Answer:

Longest possible length for each of the shorter lengths of ribbon is 9 cm because greatest common factor for both 36 and 45 is 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

Alannah has two ribbons one length is 36cm and other is 45cm.

It asked to find shorter length of ribbons that each cut into equal pieces with out no ribbon left over.

So, let's find greatest common factor for both 36 and 45.

Let's prime factor each number

36= 2*2*3*3

45= 3*3*5

So, GCF is product of common factors for both numbers.

GCF= 3*3 =9

So, longest possible length for each of the shorter lengths of ribbon is 9 cm.

Solving radical equations<br> How to solve radical equations
Dafna1 [17]
Simplify radical expressions. If we combine these two things then we get the product property of radicals and the quotient property of radicals. These two properties tell us that the square root of a product equals the product of the square roots of the factors. no radicals appear in the denominator of a fraction.
