Three friends, Ayyub, Bran and Curtis, each have some mini chocolate eggs. Bran has 1 more egg than Ayyub. Curtis has 50% more eggs than Bran. Altogether, Ayyub, Bran and Curtis have 48 chocolate eggs. Curtis gives eggs to each of Ayyub and Bran so that they all have the same number of eggs. Work out how many eggs Curtis gives away in total.

Answers

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

x = eggs of Ayyub

y = eggs of Bran

z = eggs of Curtis

x + y + z = 48

y = x + 1

z = 1.5y = 1.5(x + 1)

now we are using the second and third equation in the first :

x + (x + 1) + 1.5(x + 1) = 48

x + x + 1 + 1.5x + 1.5 = 48

3.5x + 2.5 = 48

3.5x = 45.5

x = 45.5/3.5 = 13

y = x + 1 = 13 + 1 = 14

z = 1.5(x + 1) = 1.5(13 + 1) = 1.5×14 = 21

for all three friends to have the same number of eggs, we need to split 48 into 3 equal parts : a division.

48/3 = 16

so, everybody should end up with 16 eggs.

therefore Curtis gives away 21-16 = 5 eggs in total (3 to Ayyub, 2 to Bran).

If x = 1 and y = 2 is a solution to the simultaneous equation ax + by = 2 and bx + a^(2)y = 10, find the possible values of a and b.

Answers

Answer:

a = - 2, [tex]\frac{9}{4}[/tex] , b = 2, - [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since x = 1, y = 2 is a solution to the equations , then substitute these values into the 2 equations and solve for a and b

a + 2b = 2 → (1)

b + 2a² = 10 → (2)

In (1) subtract 2b from both sides

a = 2 - 2b → (3)

Substitute a = 2 - 2b into (2)

b + 2(2 - 2b)² = 10 ← expand parenthesis using FOIL

b + 2(4 - 8b + 4b²) = 10 ( simplify left side )

b + 8 - 16b + 8b² = 10 ( subtract 10 from both sides )

8b² - 15b - 2 = 0

Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the b² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the b- term

product = 8 × - 2 = - 16 and sum = - 15

The factors are - 16 and + 1

Use these factors to split the b- term

8b² - 16b + b - 2 = 0 ( factor first/second and third/fourth terms )

8b(b - 2) + 1(b - 2) = 0 ← factor out (b - 2) from each term

(b - 2)(8b + 1) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for b

b - 2 = 0 ⇒ b = 2

8b + 1 = 0 ⇒ 8b = - 1 ⇒ b = - [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex]

Substitute these values into (3) and evaluate for a

b = 2 ⇒ a = 2 - 2(2) = 2 - 4 = - 2

b = - [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex] ⇒ a = 2 - 2(- [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex] ) = 2 + [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] = 2 [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{9}{4}[/tex]

The possible values of a and b are 8, -3 or 9/4 , -1/8 respectively.

What is an equation ?

An equation is a combination of different variables, in which two mathematical expressions are equal to each other.

The given equations are,

ax + by = 2            (1)

and bx + a²y = 10        (2)

Also, x = 1 and y = 2 are the solution of the equation,

Substitute x = 1 and y = 2in equation (1),

a(1) + b(2) = 2

a + 2b = 2       (3)

Further substitute x = 1 and y = 2 in equation (2),

b(1) + a²(2)  = 10  

2a² + b = 10         (4)

By solving equation (3) and (4),

The possible values of a are 8 and 9/4.

And possible value of b are -3 and -1/8.

write the equation of the line that is parallel to y=4x+12 through the point (2,3).​

Answers

Answer:

y = 4x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = 4x + 12 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 4

Parallel lines have equal slopes , then

y = 4x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (2, 3 ) into the partial equation

3 = 8 + c ⇒ c = 3 - 8 = - 5

y = 4x - 5 ← equation of parallel line

[tex]4 + c = 1[/tex]

[tex]c = - 3[/tex]

So Tn:

[tex]3 {n }^{2} + 1n - 3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

it is clearly a sequence of the square numbers over the numbers+1.

1/2 = 1²/(1+1)

4/3 = 2²/(2+1)

9/4 = 3²/(3+1)

16/5 = 4²/(4+1)

so, the nth term would be

n²/(n+1)

b)

an² + bn + c creates the sequence with increasing n (n = 1, 2, 3, 4, ...)

since for sequence the first starting value is often not generated by the general expression, we have to focus on n = 2, n = 3 and n = 4, and with that we get 3 equations with 3 variables (a, b, c) that we can solve :

n = 2

a×2² + b×2 + c = 11 = 4a + 2b + c

n = 3

a×3² + b×3 + c = 27 = 9a + 3b + c

n = 4

a×4² + b×4 + c = 49 = 16a + 4b + c

the first equation gives us

c = 11 - 4a - 2b

when we use this in the second equation, we get

27 = 9a + 3b + 11 - 4a - 2b = 5a + b + 11

b = 16 - 5a

now we use both of that in the third equation :

49 = 16a +4(16 - 5a) + 11 - 4a - 2(16 - 5a) =

= 16a + 64 - 20a + 11 - 4a - 32 + 10a =

= 2a + 43

2a = 6

a = 3

b = 16 - 5a = 16 - 5×3 = 16 - 15 = 1

c = 11 - 4a - 2b = 11 - 4×3 - 2×1 = 11 - 12 - 2 = -3
