First make an equation for her purchase. 5 bracelets $3 each = $15. the total is 36 since she pays $40 and gets $4 back, 40-4=36. 3 can represent the 3 necklaces and x is the price of each (3x).
Here's our equation: 3x+15=36
Now solve: First subtract 15 from both sides of the equation to keep it balanced and to separate the variable from the constants.
3x+15-15=36-15
3x=21
Next divide both sides by 3.
3x/3=21/3
x=7
You can check if this is right by going back to the word problem. 3 bracelets $5 each = 15. 3 necklaces $7 each = 21. 21+15=36. If she pays $40, 40-36-= $4 in change.
Each necklace is $7

Answer:

5x-6y-12=0

Step-by-step explanation:

...make y the subject y=-6/5x +2

...use the coefficient of x as the gradient,m=-6/5

...for a perpendicular line,find the negative reciprocal of the gradient,5/6

...sub into the eqn y= -1/m(x-a)+b

A log is 20 m long, correct to the nearest metre.

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

222 fence posts

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the log is 20 m long, correct to the nearest metre and has to be cut into fence posts which must be 90 cm long, correct to the nearest 10 centimetres, there can be x fence posts 90 cm long.

So, we have x × 90 cm = 20 m

x × 0.9 m = 20 m

x = 20 m/0.9 m

x = 222.22

x ≅ 222 fence posts

So, the largest number of fence posts that can possibly be cut from the log is 222 fence posts.

A tourist boat is used for sightseeing in a nearby river. The boat travels 2.4 miles downstream and in the same amount of time,

topjm [15]

Answer: the current of the river is 3 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the current of the river.

The boat travels 2.4 miles downstream. Assuming it travelled with the current of the river. If the boat travels at an average speed of 21 miles per hour in the still water, it means that the total speed at which the boat travelled downstream is

(21 + x) mph

Time = distance/speed

Time taken to travel downstream is

2.4/(21 + x)

it travels 1.8 miles upstream. Assuming it travelled against the current of the river. it means that the total speed at which the boat travelled upstream is

(21 - x) mph

Time taken to travel upstream is

1.8/(21 - x)

Since the time taken to travel upstream and downstream is the same, then

2.4/(21 + x) = 1.8/(21 - x)

Cross multiplying, it becomes

2.4(21 - x) = 1.8(21 + x)

50.4 - 2.4x = 37.8 + 1.8x

2.4x + 1.8x = 50.4 - 37.8

4.2x = 12.6

x = 12.6/4.2

x = 3 mph
