Answer: 16
Solution:
1) Use letters to identify the variables:
Number of trumpets: t
Number of clarinets: c
2) Translate each statement into algebraic (mathematical) language.
2.1) Sold a total of 27 used trumpets and clarinets
=> t + c = 27
2.2) Trumpets cost $149 and clarinets cost $99
Total cost of the trumpets: 149t
Total cost of clarinets: 99c
Total cost = 149t + 99c
2.3) Total sales were $3223
=> 149t + 99c = 3223.
3) State the system of equations:
Equation (1) t + c = 27
Equation (2) 149t + 99c = 3223
4) Solve the system of equations:
4.1) Multiply equation 1 by 149:
=> 149t + 149c = 4023
4.2) Subtract the equation (2) from the equation obtained in 4.1
=> 149c - 99c = 4023 - 3223
=> 50c = 800
=> c = 800 / 50 = 16
5) Verify the solution:
From equation (1) t = 27 - 16 = 11
Total cost = 149*11 + 99*16 = 3223
Now you have a verified answer: they sold 16 clarinets
Add 6 to left middle and right
then, divide them all by 3
Circular based pyramid I believe
Answer:3 and 1/4 is closer to 3 and 3/5 is closer to 4
Step-by-step explanation: one is closer on the number scale then the other
This is the product of the square of a binomial expression. Therefore, it will have two factors.
Square of a binomial: a² + 2ab + b² = (a+b)²
The process:
9x² + 24x + 16
= (3x)² +2(3x)(4) + (4)²
= (3x + 4)² or (3x+4)(3x+4)
I hope this helps :)
