The given bar graph shows the number of rooms, bathrooms, fireplaces, and elevators in the building.
Combined, there are 199 rooms, bathrooms, fireplaces, and elevators. The number of rooms exceeds the
number of bathrooms and fireplaces by 68. The difference between the number of fireplaces and elevators is
23. If the number of bathrooms is doubled, it exceeds the number of fireplaces and elevators by 47. Determin
the number of rooms, bathrooms, fireplaces, and elevators in the building.

Respuesta :

Using a system of equations, it is found that there are:

  • 132 rooms.
  • 38 bathrooms.
  • 26 fireplaces.
  • 3 elevators.

For the system, we have that:

  • The number of rooms is x.
  • The number of bathrooms is y.
  • The number of fireplaces is z.
  • The number of elevators is w.

Combined, there are 199 rooms, hence:

[tex]x + y + z + w = 199[/tex]

The number of rooms exceeds the  number of bathrooms and fireplaces by 68, hence:

[tex]x = y + z + 68[/tex]

The difference between the number of fireplaces and elevators is  23, hence:

[tex]z - w = 23[/tex]

If the number of bathrooms is doubled, it exceeds the number of fireplaces and elevators by 47, hence:

[tex]2y = z + w + 47[/tex]

Replacing the third equation into the fourth:

[tex]z = 23 + w[/tex]

[tex]2y = z + w + 47[/tex]

[tex]2y = 23 + w + w + 47[/tex]

[tex]2y = 2w + 70[/tex]

[tex]y = w + 35[/tex]

Then, from the second equation:

[tex]x = y + z + 68[/tex]

[tex]y + z = x - 68[/tex]

We can solve for w, considering that:

[tex]y = w + 35[/tex]

[tex]z = 23 + w[/tex]

[tex]y + z = x - 68[/tex]

[tex]x = y + z + 68[/tex]

[tex]x = w + 35 + w + 23 + 68[/tex]

[tex]x = 2w + 126[/tex]

[tex]x + y + z + w = 199[/tex]

[tex]2w + 126 + w + 35 + 23 + w + w = 199[/tex]

[tex]5w + 184 = 199[/tex]

[tex]5w = 15[/tex]

[tex]w = \frac{15}{5}[/tex]

[tex]w = 3[/tex]

Then, solving for the other variables:

[tex]x = 2w + 126 = 2(3) + 126 = 132[/tex]

[tex]y = w + 35 = 3 + 35 = 38[/tex]

[tex]z = 23 + w = 23 + 3 = 26[/tex]

There are:

  • 132 rooms.
  • 38 bathrooms.
  • 26 fireplaces.
  • 3 elevators.
