We know that
<span>Total soil--------> 3/4 ton
</span><span>divide it by 8
(3/4)/8----> 3/(4*8)----> 3/32 ton----> 0.09375 ton----> multiply by 1000---> 93.75 kg
the answer is
</span>93.75 kg f<span>or each bed</span>
<span>2√(x-5) = 2
</span><span>√(x-5) = 1
</span>x-5 = 1
x=6(I don't know what extraneous solution means though)
Yes you have a good example.
x = number of cookies
2*x = total amount spent on cookies at $2 each
2x-3 = amount you pay after the $3 discount is applied one time for the entire order
-------------
a more numeric example may be this
Lets say you bought 12 cookies, so x = 12
This means it costs 2*x = 2*12 = 24 dollars total if the discount doesnt apply
However, the 3 dollar discount is there, so the grand total is 24-3 = 21 dollars.
Answer:
The number of deserters is 34.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to calculate the number of desertors in a group of 1500 soldiers.
The sergeant divides in groups of different numbers and count the lefts over.
If he divide in groups of 5, he has on left over. The amount of soldiers grouped has to end in 5 or 0, so the total amount of soldiers has to end in 1 or 6.
If he divide in groups of 7, there are three left over. If we take 3, the number of soldiers gruoped in 7 has to end in 8 or 3. The only numbers bigger than 1400 that end in 8 or 3 and have 7 as common divider are 1428 and 1463.
If we add the 3 soldiers left over, we have 1431 and 1466 as the only possible amount of soldiers applying to the two conditions stated until now.
If he divide in groups of 11, there are three left over. We can test with the 2 numbers we stay:

As only 1466 gives a possible result (no decimals), this is the amount of soldiers left.
The deserters are 34:

C. Buying it a percent discount without sales tax.
Because of not having to pay $10, so it is awesome.
