Answer:

b=2

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

9x+12y=21 -----> equation A

6x+8y=7b ----> equation B

we know that

If the system of equations have an infinite number of solutions then the equation A must be equal to the equation B

Multiply equation B by 1.5 both sides

1.5*[6x+8y[=7b*1.5

9x+12y=10.5b ----> equation C

Compare equation A and equation C

9x+12y=21 -----> equation A

9x+12y=10.5b ----> equation C

For the equations to be equal it must be fulfilled that

21=10.5b

solve for b

b=21/10.5

b=2

A total of 70 tickets were sold for a concert and earn the organizers $804. If the cost of each ticket is either $10 or $12, how
crimeas [40]

Answer:

52 tickets cost $10 and 18 tickets cost $12

Step-by-step explanation:

10x+12y=804. (1)

x+y=70. (2)

From (2)

x=70-y

Substitute x=70-y into (1)

10x+12y=804

10(70-y)+12y=804

700-10y+12y=804

700+2y=804

2y=804-700

2y=104

y=104/2

y=52

Recall

x+y=70

x+52=70

x=70-52

x=18

52 tickets cost $10 and 18 tickets cost $12

V125BC [204]

Answer:

He burnt 1000 calories per hour when playing basketball.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let B be calories burned playing basketball, and C calories burned canoing.

1800 = B + 2C

3200 = 2B + 3C

From 1st equatipn, we get that B = 1800 - 2C

Replacing into the 2nd equation, we have:

3200 = 2(1800-2C) + 3C

3200 = 3600 - 4C + 3C

3200 = 3600 - 1C

C = 3600 - 3200

C = 400

Knowing C, we find B.

B = 1800 - 2C = 1800 - 2*400 = 1800 - 800 = 1000 calories.

Hello there, and thank you for posting your question here on brainly.

To convert a decimal to a percent, you have to make the decimal a whole number by getting rid of the decimal point, and then at a % sign.

0.125 ===> 125

125 ===> 125%

Hope this helped!! ☺♥
