nd had to go back to get three extra boxes of tile. However, he only used two tiles from the last box to finish the job.
Felicia also retiled her kitchen. She bought five boxes of tile, and each box contained the same number of tiles as each of Bruce’s boxes. She also ran out of tile. She had to go back to the store and get five more tiles to finish the job.

Answer:

Expression for the number of tiles Bruce used: 5x+2

Expression for the number of tiles Felicia used: 5x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

irst want you'll want to do is translate the question into something easily understood. So for Bruce, we know that he bought three boxes with the same number of tiles in each, so 3, then he had to buy three more, another 3, but didn't finish the last box only using two, 2. So, we know he completely used the first 3 he bought then 2 of the 3 more boxes he bought.

For boxes completely used we can show it like this: 3+2=5 or 5x to represent the not known number of tiles in each box. Now we have to include the last box he bought, but he only used two tiles out of the whole box so it wouldn't be added to the same number as the other five (so not 6x).

To represent those last two tiles we can simply add +2.

Now putting it all together we get 5x+2

5x is the number of boxes multiplied by unknown number of tiles. so 5x=tiles in 5 boxes. and the 2 is those two tiles that were taken out of the last box.

For Felicia we go through the same process. We know she bought five boxes with the same number of tiles that Bruce had, 5, then bought five more individual tiles (not in a box), 5.

Not too much to do, so we know she got 5 boxes, so now we add our variable to represent the tiles in the boxes. so that 5 becomes 5x. Now with like we did with the two tiles Bruce only used, we do not add the 5 additional tiles into that number (so not 10x).

Because those were individual tiles they are simply 5.

Putting the whole thing together we get 5x+5

HELP ME AND YOU'LL GET 95 POINTS ASAP
Makovka662 [10]

Answer: See explanation. Hope this helps, please consider making me Brainliest.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the rate of change, subtract then divide. This is especially a good strategy when you have the x and y values when x = 0:

604 - 460 = 144

144 divided by 18 =

8

Therefore, the rate of change is 8. We can even go further to create an equation for this:

y intercept = 460 (because 0 multiplied by the rate of change would be 0).

slope = 8

Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b --> y = 8x + 460

Hope this helps, please consider making me Brainliest.

Convert the fraction 7 24 into a repeating decimal.
goldenfox [79]
\dfrac7{24}=\dfrac6{24}+\dfrac1{24}=\dfrac14+\dfrac1{24}

\dfrac1{24}=\dfrac1{8\time3}=\dfrac a8+\dfrac b3=\dfrac{3a+8b}{24}
\implies3a+8b=1

We can choose a=-1 and b=\dfrac12, so that

\dfrac1{24}=-\dfrac18+\dfrac16

Recalling that \dfrac13=0.333\ldots, it follows that \dfrac16=0.166\ldots. So,

\dfrac1{24}=0.125+0.166\ldots=0.04166\ldots
\implies\dfrac7{24}=0.25+0.4166\ldots=0.29166\ldots
