Answer:
A) x=39
Step-by-step explanation:
117 = 3x
117 divided by 3 = 39
3x = 117
3(39) = 117
117 = 117
A) x = 39
Answer: 6 and 1/4
Step-by-step explanation: To solve this problem, we first leave 5/2 alone so don't do anything to it.
For our second fraction, we want to switch the numerator and the
denominator which means find the reciprocal of it.
The reciprocal of 2/5 is just the opposite of it when
you flip it and it's going to be 5/2.
Because we did the opposite there, we need to do the opposite
of division and the opposite of division is multiplication.
So now we have 5/2 × 5/2 which is 25/4 or 6 and 1/4.
The question is incomplete:
Bella and Heather put some money into their money boxes every week. The amount of money (y), in dollars, in their money boxes after a certain amount of time (x), in weeks, is shown by the equations below: Bella: y = 25x + 60 Heather: y = 30x + 10 After how many weeks will Bella and Heather have the same amount of money in their money boxes, and what is that amount?
10 weeks, $10
10 weeks, $310
9 weeks, $310
310 weeks, $10
Answer:
10 weeks, $310
Step-by-step explanation:
As the statement indicates, you have the following equations:
y=25x+60
y=30x+10
where:
y= the amount of money
x= the amount of time in weeks
You can equalize the expressions and isolate x to find the number of weeks after which Bella and Heather will have the same amount of money:
25x+60=30x+10
60-10=30x-25x
50=5x
x=50/5= 10
After this, you can replace the value of x in any of the equations to find the amount of money that they will have after 10 weeks:
-y=25(10)+60=310
-y=30(10)+10= 310
According to this, the answer is 10 weeks, $310.
1 pound = 16 ounces.
9 pounds of sand x 16 = 144 total ounces of sand.
144 ounces / 6 ounce bottle = 24
He made 24 bottles.
