Answer:
$0 < p ≤ $25
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that coach Rivas can spend up to $750 on 30 swimsuits.
This means that the maximum cost that the coach can afford to pay is $750, then if the cost for the 30 swimsuits is C, we have the inequality:
C ≤ $750
Now, if each swimsuit costs p, then 30 of them costs 30 times p, then the cost of the swimsuits is:
C = 30*p
Then we have the inequality:
30*p ≤ $750.
To find the possible values of p, we just need to isolate p in one side of the inequality.
So we can divide both sides by 30 to get:
(30*p)/30 ≤ $750/30
p ≤ $25
And we also should add the restriction:
$0 < p ≤ $25
Because a swimsuit can not cost 0 dollars or less than that.
Then the inequality that represents the possible values of p is:
$0 < p ≤ $25
Answer:
The number of liters of 25% acid solution = x = 160 liters
The number of liters of 40% acid solution = y = 80 liters
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us represent:
The number of liters of 25% acid solution = x
The number of liters of 40% acid solution = y
Our system of Equations =
x + y = 240 liters....... Equation 1
x = 240 - y
A 25% acid solution must be added to a 40% solution to get 240 liters of 30% acid solution.
25% × x + 40% × y = 240 liters × 30%
0.25x+ 0.4y = 72...... Equation 2
We substitute 240 - y for x in Equation 2
0.25(240 - y)+ 0.4y = 72
60 - 0.25y + 0.4y = 72
Collect like terms
- 0.25y + 0.4y = 72 - 60
0.15y = 12
y = 12/0.15
y = 80 Liters
Solving for x
x = 240 - y
x = 240 liters - 80 Liters
x = 160 liters
Therefore,
The number of liters of 25% acid solution = x = 160 liters
The number of liters of 40% acid solution = y = 80 liters
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A)
"In the last 2.5 years, the water level has decreased 0.75 feet."
In the very first statement it has been stated that over the last 2.5 years, the water level in a lake has changed by -0.3 feet per year. That means in the last 2.5 years , total decrease in level is as follows
2.5 x - 0.3 = - .75 ft .
So the statement is true.
B)
"The overall change of the water level after 7.5 years will be -2.75 feet."
This statement appears to be false based on information provided
No prediction regarding rate of decrease for a period beyond 5 year has been made so any statement with respect to a timeline of 7.5 years may turn out to be false.
C)
"The change in water level each year for the next 5 years will be -0.4 feet.
"
This statement prima-facie appears to be true because rate of decrease stated in the statement is 0.4 ft /year for next 5 years .
D )
"The overall change in water level for the next 5 years is equal to 5(0.4)"
this statement is true
as change in one year = .4
change in 5 years = 5 x .4
Answer:
x = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for x:
(-3 x)/2 - 9 = -27
Put each term in (-3 x)/2 - 9 over the common denominator 2: (-3 x)/2 - 9 = (-18)/2 - (3 x)/2:
(-18)/2 - (3 x)/2 = -27
(-18)/2 - (3 x)/2 = (-3 x - 18)/2:
(-3 x - 18)/2 = -27
Multiply both sides of (-3 x - 18)/2 = -27 by 2:
(2 (-3 x - 18))/2 = -27×2
(2 (-3 x - 18))/2 = 2/2×(-3 x - 18) = -3 x - 18:
-3 x - 18 = -27×2
2 (-27) = -54:
-3 x - 18 = -54
Add 18 to both sides:
(18 - 18) - 3 x = 18 - 54
18 - 18 = 0:
-3 x = 18 - 54
18 - 54 = -36:
-3 x = -36
Divide both sides of -3 x = -36 by -3:
(-3 x)/(-3) = (-36)/(-3)
(-3)/(-3) = 1:
x = (-36)/(-3)
The gcd of -36 and -3 is -3, so (-36)/(-3) = (-3×12)/(-3×1) = (-3)/(-3)×12 = 12:
Answer: x = 12
Answer: Your answer is d because if you solve for x you will get 180 and if you plug 180 into the equation it equals 700.
