Let us say that:

a = black kittens

b = white kittens

 

We know that:

a = 5 b

a + b = 25

 

Therefore:

5 b + b = 25

6 b = 25

b = 4.17

But we cannot have a fraction value for the number of kittens, so round off:

b = 4

 

So a is:

a = 25 – 4 = 21

 

<span>Hence Zoe counts additional 1 black kitten.</span>

Will the sum of two linear expressions each with an x-term , always,sometimes,or never have an x-term ? Explain your reasoning
Licemer1 [7]

Sometimes it will, and sometimes it won't.

I reason as follows:

(21 + x)  +  (30 + 2x)  =  51 + 3x      has an 'x' term

(42 + x)  +  (30 - x)  =  72                  has no 'x' term.

Assured normally costs £42 if you receive a 15% discount how much change will you get from £50
vesna_86 [32]
5% of £42 = £2.10
10% of £42 = £4.20
15% of £42 = £6.30

£42 - £6.30 = £35.70

£50 - £35.70 = £14.30

the answer is £14.30
