There are 104 bottles of coke packed in 4 − packs and 6 − packs. If the number of packs is 20, what is the number of 6 − packs?

Explanation

Answer: E - The number of 6 − packs is 12. Denote 4 − packs with x and 6 − packs with y.

4x + 6y = 104
x + y = 20

Solve the system of inequalities.
4x + 6y = 104
x = 20 − y
4(20 − y) + 6y = 104
80 − 4y + 6y = 104
2y = 104 − 80
2y = 24
y = 24/2 = 12

There are 12 six − packs.

The Mongols: More than just Another Nomadic TribeHistorians have been quick to portray pastoral nor nomadic groups as being dedicated to both agriculture and transitioning from one location to another. This is based on the needs of the people and the restraints of the land where the nomadic people were residing. For the most part, these pastoral groups were peaceful, sharing their skills and talents with those around them. Their focus was not on conquering or defeating those around them. The Mongols are represented quite differently in history books. The Mongol people refute the stereotypical nomadic tribes in that they were not farmers, did not contribute the typical products of other civilizations, did not restrict the power of women, and were focused on dominating others. When one hears the word “nomad”, it is almost synonymous with agriculture and farming, but for the Mongols this was untrue. Rather than focusing their lives around farming and the relocating that this entailed, the Mongols worked to domesticate animals. Comparatively, this creates immense contrast between what historians have portrayed about nomadic groups and the Mongols. In addition to the absence of farming, Mongols did not focus on elaborate designs. Whereas other cultures were working to build impressive cities that gained prestige and captivated spectators, the Mongols did not use their talents to complete such displays. Perhaps, instead of focusing efforts on leaving a legacy, the Mongols were focused on utilizing the talents of their entire population. Most nomadic tribes were unwilling to denote equality between men and women; this is not true of the Mongols. For them, women were an invaluable part of the community. Agricultural civilizations viewed women as highly restricted, yet the Mongols allowed women to maintain a higher status in society, even serving as partisan mentors and being vocal in military matters. Another huge contrast was a woman’s ability to start divorce proceedings. The comparisons make clear that the Mongols were not just another nomadic tribe. While the Mongols were certainly focused on survival, they were also interested in spreading their influence worldwide. The typical peacefulness ended with the Mongols in pursuit of world dominance. The Great Wall of China was built because of the Mongols. In brief, the Mongols were not typical pastoral people. They replaced farming with herding animals and exchange a cultural imprint for an attempt at world dominance; furthermore, they appreciated the contributions of males and females alike. Clearly, history’s representation of nomadic people is atypical for the Mongols, who were more than just another pastoral tribe.

Completed by Leonardo da Vinci in 1506, the Mona Lisa is one of the most recognized images in the world. Over the centuries several theories have been proposed regarding the identity of the enigmatic subject of this portrait. While current scholars tend to agree that she is Lisa del Giocondo, the young wife of a wealthy Florence merchant, some dissenters argue that del Giocondo was, in fact, the subject of an earlier portrait, and not the smiling visage of the Mona Lisa. Scholars who reject the del Giocondo identification have proffered several alternative identities. Some scholars believe Mona Lisa was the Duchess of Milan, Isabella of Aragon. Da Vinci was the Aragon family painter for more than a decade and would have had the time and opportunity to create a portrait of the Duchess. Other scholars have theorized that Mona Lisa is the portrait of a mistress of Giuliano de’ Medici, the ruler of Florence in the early 1500s. More recently, scholars using digital analysis have determined that the Mona Lisa is da Vinci himself, painted as a woman. Digital analysis and comparisons of da Vinci’s facial features and those of the woman in the painting show almost perfect alignment of their features. However, other researchers have pointed out that, since the only images of da Vinci are paintings, primarily self-portraits, this alignment might be attributed to the artist, and not the subjects of the painting.Using modern scientific analysis to identify artists and their subjects has become more popular in the last few decades. In addition, the availability of laboratories using specialized equipment has increased for laypeople, or those who are not professional scientists. The internet provides a wealth of information for anyone interested in researching art, and communicating the findings of art historians is easier than ever due to the online publishing of academic journals. In 2010, an amateur researcher and art historian, Silvano Vinceti, assembled a team of researchers with the goal of finding the grave of Lisa del Giocondo and determining, by using advanced technology that performs facial imaging based on skeletal structure, if she was the original model for the Mona Lisa. This would not be Vinceti’s first art-history investigation. Earlier in 2010 he discovered the remains of the Italian artist, Caravaggio, and determined through analysis of the bone fragments that he had died of lead poisoning. In fact, Vinceti’s investigation supported a long-held belief among art historians that Caravaggio had gone mad before his death. The levels of lead present in the artist’s skeleton likely caused significant mental incapacitation before causing his death in 1610. Vinceti was able to compile data from analysis and prior scholars quickly and efficiently, leading to a confirmation of conclusions previously considered only suppositions. Vinceti’s Caravaggio investigation was not, however, without controversy. Another art historian, Tomaso Montanari, claimed that Vinceti’s interest in identifying Caravaggio was prurient and morbid, and intended only to attract tourists, rather than to shed light on the tragic life of the artist. He pointed out that violating the artist’s grave yielded little new information about the artist, nor was there any discernible upsurge in interest in Caravaggio’s work. Consistently critical of Vinceti’s projects, Montanari has predicted that the Mona Lisa project will be a failure, and questions the researcher’s motives. Montanari is among a small, but vocal group of highly-regarded art scholars who reject these types of investigations and the value they bring to the study of art. Nevertheless, Vinceti has achieved a significant first step in his research. In August of 2013, he and his team opened and entered a crypt in Florence that has been sealed for over 300 years. In it he hoped to find the final resting places of the Giocondos. Should the team find remains that may be those of the couple, the first step will be to carbon date a sample of any remaining organic material, such as bone or hair, to establish a date range during with they may have lived. If the remains do not date from the 1500s, they will be automatically disqualified from future testing or investigation. Critics claim that disrupting the tomb is not only disrespectful, but is also a vain effort. There are likely thousands of women buried in the large crypt and looking for a specific woman will be an arduous, if not futile, task. If Vinceti is successful in identifying a body that might have carried the enigmatic face of da Vinci’s portrait, and if those remains surmount the hurdle of carbon dating, the next step will be to attempt a DNA match with remains found in an earlier excavation of a different tomb, where Vinceti believes he has found Giocondo’s son. Even if the remains are confirmed to be those of Lisa del Giocondo, there is no guarantee Vinceti will be able to confirm anything more than the identity of a nearly 500-year-old skeleton. If the skull is not intact, digital scanning of the remains and a simulated reconstruction will be impossible and there will be no way to match the remains to da Vinci’s portrait.Despite these many hurdles Vinceti remains undaunted in his quest to, once and for all, confirm the identity of the most famous face in the world.Tomaso Montanari’s attitude toward Vinceti’s work could best be described as:
