Allison is going to the post office to buy 34cent stamps and 3 cent adjustment stamps. Since the current postage rate is 49 cent she will need 5 times as many 3 cent adjusment stamps as 34 cent stamps. If she has $12.25 to spend, what is the largest number of 34 cent stamps she can buy?

Answers

Answer 1

Determine the largest number of 34 cent stamps she can buy

The largest number of 34 cent stamps she can buy is 30

Given:

Total money = $12.25

let

x = 34 cent stamp

y = 3 cent stamp

34 cent stamp = 5 × 3 cent stamp

x + y = 0.49

x = 5y

0.34x + 0.3y = 12.25

0.35(5y) + 0.3y = 12.25

1.75y + 0.3y = 12.25

2.05y = 12.25

y = 12.25/2.05

y = 5.9756097560975

approximately, y = 6

Recall,

x = 5y

x = 5(6)

x = 30

Therefore, the largest number of 34 cent stamps she can buy is 30

3x - 5y = 4, -2x + 6y = 18 (system of equations)

Answers

Answer:

(x, y) = (57/4, 31/4)

Step-by-step explanation:

-2x + 6y = 18

-2x = 18 - 6y

x = -9 + 3y

3(-9 + 3y) - 5y = 4

-27 + 9y - 5y = 4

4y = 31

y = 31/4

x = -9 + 3(31/4) = 57/4

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-5y=4-3x

y=(4/-5)-(3/-5x)

2x+6y=18

6y=18-2x

y=18/6-(2/6x)

y=y

(4/-5)-(3/-5x)=18/6-(2/6x)

0.93x=3.8

x=3.8/0.93

x=4.09

sub 4.09 for the 3x-5y=4

which will give you y=1.65

sub 4.09 for -2x+6y=18

which will give you y=4.36

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

By the triangle inequality, the length of the 3rd side must be less than the sum of the two other sides and greater than the positive difference of the other two sides.  Thus, 6 + 16 > x > 16 - 6

Avery and Carmen both have summer jobs. Avery gets paid $360 every 4 weeks. Carmen gets paid $480 every 6 weeks. summer break lasts a total of 12 weeks. who will earn more money during summer break?

Answers

Answer:

Avery

Step-by-step explanation:

12/4=3 so Avery will be paid 3 times

360×3= $1080

12/6=2 Carmen will be paid twice

480×2=$960

Avery earns more

360/4 = $90 a week

480/6 = $80 a week

80 x 12 = 960

90 x 12 = 1080

1080 > 960

So Avery will earn more.

Here is a linear equation in two variables: 2x+4y−31=123

Answers

Answer:

y=−11x+77/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The procedure for solving simultaneous linear equations now called Gaussian elimination appears in the ancient Chinese mathematical text Chapter Eight: Rectangular Arrays of The Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art. Its use is illustrated in eighteen problems, with two to five equations.[4]

Systems of linear equations arose in Europe with the introduction in 1637 by René Descartes of coordinates in geometry. In fact, in this new geometry, now called Cartesian geometry, lines and planes are represented by linear equations, and computing their intersections amounts to solving systems of linear equations.

The first systematic methods for solving linear systems used determinants, first considered by Leibniz in 1693. In 1750, Gabriel Cramer used them for giving explicit solutions of linear systems, now called Cramer's rule. Later, Gauss further described the method of elimination, which was initially listed as an advancement in geodesy.[5]

In 1844 Hermann Grassmann published his "Theory of Extension" which included foundational new topics of what is today called linear algebra. In 1848, James Joseph Sylvester introduced the term matrix, which is Latin for womb.

Linear algebra grew with ideas noted in the complex plane. For instance, two numbers w and z in {\displaystyle \mathbb {C} }\mathbb {C}  have a difference w – z, and the line segments {\displaystyle {\overline {wz}}}{\displaystyle {\overline {wz}}} and {\displaystyle {\overline {0(w-z)}}}{\displaystyle {\overline {0(w-z)}}} are of the same length and direction. The segments are equipollent. The four-dimensional system {\displaystyle \mathbb {H} }\mathbb {H}  of quaternions was started in 1843. The term vector was introduced as v = x i + y j + z k representing a point in space. The quaternion difference p – q also produces a segment equipollent to {\displaystyle {\overline {pq}}.}{\displaystyle {\overline {pq}}.} Other hypercomplex number systems also used the idea of a linear space with a basis.

Arthur Cayley introduced matrix multiplication and the inverse matrix in 1856, making possible the general linear group. The mechanism of group representation became available for describing complex and hypercomplex numbers. Crucially, Cayley used a single letter to denote a matrix, thus treating a matrix as an aggregate object. He also realized the connection between matrices and determinants, and wrote "There would be many things to say about this theory of matrices which should, it seems to me, precede the theory of determinants".[5]

Benjamin Peirce published his Linear Associative Algebra (1872), and his son Charles Sanders Peirce extended the work later.[6]

The telegraph required an explanatory system, and the 1873 publication of A Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism instituted a field theory of forces and required differential geometry for expression. Linear algebra is flat differential geometry and serves in tangent spaces to manifolds. Electromagnetic symmetries of spacetime are expressed by the Lorentz transformations, and much of the history of linear algebra is the history of Lorentz transformations.

The first modern and more precise definition of a vector space was introduced by Peano in 1888;[5] by 1900, a theory of linear transformations of finite-dimensional vector spaces had emerged. Linear algebra took its modern form in the first half of the twentieth century, when many ideas and methods of previous centuries were generalized as abstract algebra. The development of computers led to increased research in efficient algorithms for Gaussian elimination and matrix decompositions, and linear algebra became an essential tool for modelling and simulations.[5]

Vector spaces

Main article: Vector space

Until the 19th century, linear algebra was introduced through systems of linear equations and matrices. In modern mathematics, the presentation through vector spaces is generally preferred, since it is more synthetic, more general (not limited to the finite-dimensional case), and conceptually simpler, although more abstract.

A vector space over a field F (often the field of the real numbers) is a set V equipped with two binary operations satisfying the following axioms. Elements of V are called vectors, and elements of F are called scalars. The first operation, vector addition, takes any two vectors v and w and outputs a third vector v + w. The second operation, scalar multiplication, takes any scalar a and any vector v and outputs a new vector av. The axioms that addition and scalar multiplication must satisfy are the following. (In the list below, u, v and w are arbitrary elements of V, and a and b are arbitrary scalars in the field F.)[7]

Mr. Johnson wants to fill up his car's gas tank. The car has a 25 gallon gas tank and there are 4 gallons of gas already in the tank. Gas costs $3.04 for each gallon. Mr. Johnson has $50 to spend on gas. Will he have enough money. Show your work and justify your answer.

Answers

Based on the cost of filling of the car, we can infer that Mr. Johnson does not have enough to spend on gas.

The car can take 25 gallons of gas and already has 4 liters inside it. The quantity of gas Mr. Johnson has to buy is:

= 25 - 4

= 21 gallons

The price of a gallon is $3.04. The price of 21 gallons would be:

= Price of gas x Number of gallons

= 3.04 x 21

= $63.84

In conclusion, Mr. Johnson does not have enough to spend on gas because he has only $50 yet the gas will cost $63.84.
