An Orchestra has twice as many woodwind instruments as brass instruments. There are a total of 150 brass and wood instruments.
How would I write and two different addition equations to describe this situation? Please help!

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Brass + Brass = Woodwind

Brass + Woodwind = 150

Brass = 50, Woodwind = 100

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

The two addition equations would be:

Brass + Brass = Woodwind

(As there are twice as many woodwind as brass)

AND

Brass + Woodwind = 150

(As there are 150 of those instruments in total)

These two equations fully describe this situation, and you can use them to solve the problem using substitution as well.

Since Woodwind = Brass + Brass, then:

Brass + Woodwind =150

Can also be written as:

Brass + (Brass+Brass) = 150

Now we can solve by combining all the like terms which gives us:

3*Brass = 150

Brass = 150/3

Brass = 50 meaning that Woodwind = 100, as 50+50=100.

Hope this helped!

Given the figure below, find the values of x and z.
(10x - 65)
(9x - 49)

Answers

(10x - 65) degrees is equal to (9x - 49) degrees, therefore you can set them into an equation.

(10x - 65) = (9x - 49)

By subtracting 9x in both sides,

(10x - 9x) - 65 = (9x -9x) - 49

x - 65 = -49

By adding 65 in both sides,


x - 65 + 65= -49 + 65
x = 16


Next, to find the value of z, it’s important to know that the straight line has 180 degrees. Then you would substitute the x value you found into one of your equation and subtract it from 180.

10 (16) - 65 = 160 - 65 = 95

Now you know that (10x - 65) degrees is equal to 95 degrees,

180 - 95 = z = 85


Answer: x = 16
z = 85

20 balloons have to be devided between a group A and Group B in the ratio 2:3. How many balloons will each group receive? ​

Answers

Answer:

There are 8 and 12 balloons for groups A and B, respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio 2 : 3 means that there are 2 balloons in group A for each 3 balloons in the group B. The amounts of balloons asigned to each groups are determined by the following formulas:

Group A

[tex]n_{A} = \frac{2}{2+3}\cdot (20)[/tex]

[tex]n_{A} = 8[/tex]

Group B

[tex]n_{B} = \frac{3}{2+3}\cdot (20)[/tex]

[tex]n_{B} = 12[/tex]

There are 8 and 12 balloons for groups A and B, respectively.

Elise is making punch for the party that requires 2 parts of fruit juice for every 5 parts of ginger ale. To make the punch, she uses 18 ounces of fruit juice and 3 containers of ginger ale. How many ounces are in each container of ginger ale?

Answers

Given:

Elise is making punch for the party that requires 2 parts of fruit juice for every 5 parts of ginger ale.

To make the punch, she uses 18 ounces of fruit juice and 3 containers of ginger ale.

To find:

The number of ounces in each container of ginger ale.

Solution:

Let n be the number of ounces in each container of ginger ale.

According to the question, the ratio of fruit juice and ginger ale is 2:5. it means,

[tex]\dfrac{\text{Fruit juice}}{\text{Ginger}}=\dfrac{2}{5}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{18}{\text{Ginger}}=\dfrac{2}{5}[/tex]

[tex]5\times 18=2\times \text{Ginger}[/tex]

[tex]90=2\times \text{Ginger}[/tex]

Divide both sides by 2.

[tex]45=\text{Ginger}[/tex]

So, ginger required for punch is 45 ounces.

Number of containers = 3

Number of ounces in each container of ginger ale = n

Number of ounces in 3 containers of ginger ale = 3n

Now,

[tex]3n=45[/tex]

Divide both sides by 3.

[tex]n=15[/tex]

Therefore, 15 ounces are in each container of ginger ale.

The lines cross at (x, y) = (3, -1), so x = 3 produces the same output from both functions.

school lunches cost $14.50 per week. About how much would 5.5 weeks cost of lunches​

Answers

I think it would be 79.75, I hope this helps!

Answer:

The answer should be about $81.20

Step-by-step explanation:

$14.50 x 5weeks = $72.50

A school week is usually 5 days.

The middle of the week is Wednesday, so that's 3 whole days.

$14.50 / 5days = $2.90 per day

$2.90 x 3days = $8.70

$72.50 + $8.70 = $81.20

In word form, 5.004 is five and four thousandths.

Step-by-step explanation:

The part to the left of the decimal is simple - it's just five.

The part to the right of the decimal is a bit more complicated. The digit one place to the right of the decimal is the tenths place. The digit to the right of the tenths place is the hundredths place. The digit to the right of the hundredths place is the thousandths.

With that in mind, you should find that the number 4 is in the thousandths place. So, your answer is five and four thousandths.

Brian buys a computer for £3600. It depreciates at a rate of 5% per year. How much will it be worth in 2 years? Give your answer to the nearest penny where appropriate.

Answers

Answer:

£3591

Step-by-step explanation:

Brian buys a computer for £3600. It depreciates at a rate of 5% per year. How much will it be worth in 2 years? Give your answer to the nearest penny where appropriate.

The formula for Depreciation rate =

P = Po × e^-rt

P = Amount after depreciation

Po = Initial amount = £ 3600

r = depreciation rate = 5% = 0.05

t = time in years = 2

Hence:

P = £3600 × e ^ -0.05 × 2

P =£ 3600 × e-0.0025

P = £ 3591.0112406

Approximately = £3591

9 added to twice a number is the same as 27 reduced by 4 times the number

Answers

Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x.

9 added to twice a number is the same as 27 reduced by 4 times the number

If we add 9 to the number = (9+x)

If 27 reduced by 4 times the number = (4x-27)

ATQ,

(9+x) = (4x-27)

Taking like terms together,

x-4x = -27-9

-3x = -36

x = 12

Hence, the number be 12.
