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:

-45n-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's get rid of parenthesis first using distributive property!

-10n-12+10-35n

Combine like terms!

-10n-35n--12+10

-45n-2 would be the final expression

45. For customers generating their own solar power, ZG&E charges them $3 per month per kilowatt (kWh) for excess electricity

uranmaximum [27]

(A) The customer that owns a 3-kW system exports 120 kWh monthly to the grid will have the following bills for both companies:

For ZG&E that collects $3 per kWh on a monthly basis, the monthly bill will be

$120kWh\times\frac{\$3}{1kWh}=\$360$

For Ready Edison that collects $0.06 per kWh exported energy monthly, the computation of bill will be

$\$20+(120kWh\times\frac{\$0.06}{1kWh})=\$27.2$

(B) The customer that owns a 5-kW system exports 300 kWh monthly to the grid will have the following bills for both companies:

For ZG&E that collects $3 per kWh on a monthly basis, the monthly bill will be

$300kWh\times\frac{\$3}{1kWh}=\$900$

For Ready Edison that collects $0.06 per kWh exported energy monthly, the computation of bill will be

$\$20+(300kWh\times\frac{\$0.06}{1kWh})=\$38$

Austin keeps a right conical basin for the birds in his garden as represented in the diagram. The basin is 40 centimeters deep,

Lina20 [59]

The shortest distance between the tip of the cone and its rim exits 51.11cm.

<h3>What is the shortest distance between the tip of the cone and its rim?</h3>

If you draw a line along the middle of the cone, you'd finish up with two right triangles and the line even bisects the angle between the sloping sides. The shortest distance between the tip of the cone and its rim exists in the hypotenuse of a right triangle with one angle calculating 38.5°. So, utilizing trigonometry and allowing x as the measurement of the shortest distance between the tip of the cone and its rim.

Cos 38.5 = 40 / x

Solving the value of x, we get

Multiply both sides by x

$$\cos \left(38.5^{\circ}\right) x=\frac{40}{x} x$
