The total weight of the bag that the salesman is carrying for selling a machine including some personal stuff is 13.9 Kg.

<h3>What is a fraction?</h3>

A fraction is a rational number that consists of a numerator and a denominator, used to represent a part of the whole thing.

<h3>Calculation:</h3>

It is given that,

A salesman is carrying a big bag for selling a machine.

Consider the weight of the machine = w

So,

The weight of his machine is three kilograms and half a machine. I.e.,

w = 3kg +w/2

⇒ w/2 = 3kg

∴ w = 6kg

Thus, the weight of the machine is 6 Kg.

So, the weight of the repair tool for the machine = a half kilogram and one-fourth of the machine

⇒ 1/2Kg + 1/4w

⇒ 1/2 + 6/4

⇒ 2 Kg

The personal stuff weighs - four kilograms minus a fourth of the weight of the machine.

⇒ 4Kg - w/4

⇒ 4 - 6/4

⇒ 2.5 Kg

He has some supplies that weigh two-fifth of the machine and personal stuff combined.

⇒ 2/5(w + 2.5)

⇒ 2/5 × 8.5

⇒ 3.4 Kg

Thus, the total weight of the bag = 6 Kg + 2 Kg + 2.5 Kg + 3.4Kg =  13.9Kg.

Therefore, the total weight of the salesman's bag is 13.9 Kg.

3^x ( x^2 -3) i don't know how to solve this problem
geniusboy [140]
3ˣ (x² - 3)

Basically, just multiply everything together.

Step 1 : 3x × x² = 3x³ because when multiplying exponents, all you're really doing is adding them on top. So, x + 2x = 3x! But, they are exponents, so you get 3x³.

Step 2 : 3x ˣ × (-3) = -9ˣ

Now, our new question is : 3x³ - 9x

You wouldn't simplify this because x³ is NOT the same as x.

An automobile dealer had 288 cars and trucks in stock during the month. He must pay an inventory fee of 52 per car and $5 per tr
Aleonysh [2.5K]

For the given conditions, we won’t get a practical solution.

<u>Solution:</u>

Given, An automobile dealer had 288 cars and trucks in stock during the month.  

He must pay an inventory fee of 52 per car and $5 per truck.  

He paid $849 for inventory foes.  

We have to find how many cars and Trucks did he have during the month?

Now, let the number of trucks be n, then number of cars will be 288 – n

And, according to given information,

\begin{array}{l}{5 \times n+52 \times(288-n)=849} \\\\ {\rightarrow 5 n+52 \times 288-52 n=849} \\\\ {\rightarrow 52 n-5 n=14976-849} \\\\ {\rightarrow 47 n=14127} \\\\ {\rightarrow n=300.57}\end{array}

Here we got n > number of cars and trucks, which is practically impossible.  

Hence, for the given conditions, we won’t get a practical solution
