Answer:

x <-14.5

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 2(x+5) <+4(8 – 20)

Distribute

2x+2x+10 < 4 (-12)

4x +10 < -48

Subtract 10 from each side

4x+10-10 <-48-10

4x< -58

Divide each side by 4

4x/4 < -58/4

x <-14.5

Problem 3: Let x = price of bag of pretzels Let y = price of box of granola bars  
We have Lesley's purchase: 4x+2y=13.50
 And Landon's: 1x+5y=17.55 
 We can use the elimination method. Let's negate Landon's purchase by multiplying by -1. -1x-5y=-17.55 
 We add this four times to Lesley's purchase to eliminate the x variable.
 2y-20y=13.50-70.2
 -18y=-56.7
 y = $3.15 = Price of box of granola bars
 
 Plug back into Landon's purchase to solve for pretzels.
 x+5*3.15=17.55
 x+15.75=17.55
 x = $1.80 = price of bag of pretzels
  
 Problem 4.
 Let w = number of wood bats sold
 Let m = number of metal bats sold
 
 From sales information we have: w + m = 23
 24w+30m=606 
 Substitution works well here. Solve for w in the first equation, w = 23 - m, and plug this into the second. 
 24*(23-m)+30m=606
 552-24m+30m=606
 6m=54
 m=9 = number of metal bats sold
 Therefore since w = 23-m, w = 23-9 = 14. 14 wooden bats were sold.

33% of what number is 1.45? Round to the nearest tenth.
tatuchka [14]

Take the unknown number as 'y'.

=》33% = 33/100

=》1.45 = 145/100

33/100 × y = 1.45

33/100 × y = 145/100

33y = 145/100 × 100/1

33y = 145

y = 145/33

y = 4.39

jen uses 8.2 of blue paint and white paint to paint her bedroom walls. 4/5ths of this amount is blue paint, and the rest is whit
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

The amount of white paint Jen used to paint the walls in her room is:

  • <u>1.64 pints.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the exercise you only have to pay attention to the statement, in the section that says that 4/5 parts of the total painting is blue, therefore, if 1 is the total painting, you must do a subtraction:

  • 1 - 4/5 = 1/5

Since the remaining white paint is 1/5 of the total, you have two ways to solve the exercise: multiply the total paint (8.2 pints) by 1/5 or divide the number by 5, as shown below:

  • <u>Amount of white paint = 8.2 pints * (1/5) = 1.64 pints. </u>
  • <u>Amount of white paint = 8.2 pints / 5 = 1.64 pints. </u>

As you can see, the two methods provide a <u>value of 1.64 pints, which corresponds to 1/5 of the total paint and is the amount of white paint used</u>.
