Suppose x, y and z are integers. Prove that, if 3x−y + 5z is even, then at least one of x, y or z is even.

Answers

Answer 1

Given:

x, y and z are integers.

To prove:

If [tex]3x-y+5z[/tex] is even, then at least one of x, y or z is even.

Solution:

We know that,

Product of two odd integers is always odd.          ...(i)

Difference of two odd integers is always even.          ...(ii)

Sum of an even integer and an odd integer is odd.      ...(iii)

Let as assume x, y and z all are odd, then [tex]3x-y+5z[/tex] is even.

[tex]3x[/tex] is always odd.          [Using (i)]

[tex]5z[/tex] is always odd.          [Using (i)]

[tex]3x-y[/tex] is always even.       [Using (ii)]

[tex](3x-y)+5z[/tex] is always odd.       [Using (iii)]

[tex]3x-y+5z[/tex] is always odd.

So, out assumption is incorrect.

Thus, at least one of x, y or z is even.

Hence proved.

19 dozen cookies to individual cookies

Answers

Answer:

228 individual cookies.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert 19 dozen cookies to individual cookies, we first have to identify that:

[tex]dozen=12[/tex]

If a dozen is equal to 12, to solve, we simply must multiply the amount of dozens, which is 19, by a dozen, which is 12:

[tex]19*12=[/tex]

[tex]228[/tex]

Therefore, there are 228 individual cookies.

-

We can check our  work by dividing the individual number of cookies, 228, by dividing buy the amount of dozens, 19, and a dozen, 12:

[tex]228[/tex] ÷ [tex]19=12[/tex]

[tex]228[/tex] ÷ [tex]12=19[/tex]

As you can see, our quotients are the two figures we started with, and when multiplied together, give us 228 individual cookies; therefore, our solution is correct!

Write the equation of the line through the points (1, 3), (3, 3)

Answers

Answer:

y  = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

P ( 1 , 3)    and  Q ( 3 , 3 )

The straight line is parallel to the x-axis since the two points have the same y.

The intercept with the y-axis is 3.

The slope-point equation for a line is:

y  = m*x + b             (1)

m is the slope and  b is the intercept with the y-axis

To calculate the slope

m =  (  y₂ -  y₁ ) /  ( x₂  -  x₁ )

m =  3 - 3 / 3 - 1          m   = 0 / 2      m  = 0

therefore, equatio (1) becomes

y  =  0*x + 3

y  = 3

John's Mathematics exam mark this year is increased by 5% to 84. Find his Mathematics exam mark

Answers

Answer:

80%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the past exam mark m,

m*105%=84

m*105/100=84

m=84/(105/100)

m=80

Hope this helps!

Answer:

80

Step-by-step explanation:

new value = 84

old value = n

can use percent change formula:  (new value - old value) / old value = 5/100

[tex]\frac{84-n}{n}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{5}{100}[/tex]

cross-multiply (you can simplify 5/100 to be 1/20 first):  20(84 - n) = n

1680 - 20n = n

1680 = 21n

n = 80

I think the answer to the question is 20

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The segment  RT is a perpendicular bisector and means Δ RSU is isosceles, then the 2 legs are congruent, that is

RS = RU , substitute values

8x = 6x + 5 ( subtract 6x from both sides )

2x = 5 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 2.5

Thus

RU = 6x + 5 = 6(2.5) + 5 = 15 + 5 = 20 → a

TJ rented a truck to move to a apartment the regular price of a Truck Rental is $200 TJ has a 50% off coupon he wants to know the sale tax of the truck rental

Answers

Answer:

$100

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are given the following

Rental price of the truck

percentage off coupon = 50%

Required

Sale tax of the truck rental

Sale tax of the truck rental = 50% of the truck price

Sale tax of the truck rental = 50% of $200

Sale tax of the truck rental = 50/100 * 200

Sale tax of the truck rental = 0.5 * 200

Sale tax of the truck rental = $100

Hence the sale tax of the truck rental is $100

2 numbers are in ratio 2 is to 4 if their sun is 147 then what i the largest number?

Answers

Answer:

The larger number is 98

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers be a and b

a/b= 2/4

4a = 2b ------- 1

a + b = 147 -----2

a= 147 - b -------3

Substitute equation 3 into 1

4(147 -b) = 2b

588 - 4b = 2b

588= 2b + 4b

588 = 6b

b= 588/6

b= 98

Substituting b= 98 into 1

4a = 2(98)

4a = 196

a= 49

The larger number is 98

Answers

Given that,

A TV is 27 inch diagonally across the screen.

To find,

The dimensions that best describes a 37 inch TV.

Solution,

Let a and b are length and width of the TV. Let c be the diagonal. Using Pythagoras theorem,

[tex]c=\sqrt{a^2+b^2}[/tex]

If dimensions are 15 x 34,

[tex]c=\sqrt{15^{2}+34^{2}}\\\\=37.16\ inch[/tex]

If dimensions are 16.5 x 32,

[tex]c=\sqrt{16.5^{2}+32^{2}}\\\\=36.003\ inch[/tex]

If dimensions are 17 x 28,

[tex]c=\sqrt{17^{2}+28^{2}}\\\\=32.756\ inch[/tex]

If dimensions are 17 x 32,

[tex]c=\sqrt{17^{2}+32^{2}}\\\\=36.23\ inch[/tex]

It is clear that if dimensions are 15 x 34, the diagonal is 37 inches. Hence, the correct option is (a).

Answers

Answer:

[tex](\frac{10}{3}, 1)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

1) In order to solve a system of equations with the elimination method, you need to add or subtract the two equations and "eliminate" variables by canceling out terms. This leaves you with an equation with only one variable to solve. Then, once you solve that equation, you can substitute the answer you got into one of the system's equations to find either the x or y value.

This problem already has one 3x in each equation, so let's focus on canceling that term out, eliminating the x variable. To set up this situation, we need one 3x to be negative, so let's multiply the terms in 3x-6y = 4 by -1, which gets us to -3x + 6y = -4. Now let's "cancel out" those x variables by adding them together.  (This work is shown in the first picture.)

Remember to add the other terms. This leaves us with the equation 13y = 13. By isolating y, we can find its value, which leaves us with y = 1.

2) Next, let's substitute 1 for y in one of the two equations. In this case, I used 3x + 7y = 17. Then, isolate x to find its value:

[tex]3x + 7 (1) = 17\\3x + 7 = 17 \\3x = 10 \\x = \frac{10}{3}[/tex]

Therefore, the answer would be [tex](\frac{10}{3} , 1)[/tex].

y is inversely proportional to the square of x.

Answers

Answer:

Given that:

Total miles of journey = 350 miles

Miles already driven = 75 miles

To cover the rest of the journey in 5 hours, the average speed of travel. Will be:

Recall:

Speed = (Distance left to cover ÷ budgeted travel time)

Distance left to cover : (total miles - distance already driven)

Average speed required = (350 - 75) / 5

= 275 / 5

= 55 mph
