On Saturday, the bookstore sold x books. On Sunday, the bookstore sold 2 more books than on Saturday.

1 answer:

3 0

X = books were sold on Saturday.

Because 2 more books were sold on Sunday than on Saturday, therefore
(x + 2) books were sold on Sunday.

The total number of books sold over the weekend (Saturday and Sunday) is
x + (x+2)
= x + x + 2
= 2x + 2

Answer: 2x + 2

5?10 5 5, dot, 10, start superscript, 5, end superscript is how many times as large as 1\cdot10^51?10 5 1, dot, 10, start supers

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

5 times as large

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the two numbers tells you how many times as large one is as the other:

$\dfrac{5\cdot 10^5}{1\cdot 10^5}=\dfrac{5}{1}\cdot\dfrac{10^5}{10^5}=5$

What is the solution for x in the equation 5/3 x +4=2/3 x

777dan777 [17]

Answer:

x = - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{5}{3}$ x + 4 = $\frac{2}{3}$ x

Multiply through by 3 to clear the fractions

5x + 12 = 2x ( subtract 2x from both sides )

3x + 12 = 0 ( subtract 12 from both sides )

3x = - 12 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = - 4

What is true of the graph of two lines 3y-8=-5x and 6y=-10x+16

Murljashka [212]

Answer:

Both lines are equal (they are the same)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$3y - 8 = -5x$

$6y = -10x + 16$

Required

What is true about graph of both lines

Questions like this are better solved when there's option(s) to select from. However, some of the properties of line equation that I'll consider are to check if both lines are either parallel or perpendicular

To do this,

The first thing to do is to calculate the slope of both lines

$3y - 8 = -5x$

Add 8 to both sides

$3y - 8 + 8 = -5x + 8$

$3y = -5x + 8$

Divide both sided by 3

$\frac{3y}{3} = -\frac{5x}{3} + \frac{8}{3}$

$y = -\frac{5x}{3} + \frac{8}{3}$

The slope of the line is the coefficient of x;

$Slope = -\frac{5}{3}$

Solve for the y intercept; Let x = 0

$y = -\frac{5 * 0}{3} + \frac{8}{3}$

$y = 0 + \frac{8}{3}$

$y = \frac{8}{3}$

Solve for the x intercept; Let y = 0

$0 = -\frac{5x}{3} + \frac{8}{3}$

Subtract $\frac{8}{3}$ from both sides

$0 - \frac{8}{3} = -\frac{5x}{3} + \frac{8}{3} - \frac{8}{3}$

$- \frac{8}{3} = -\frac{5x}{3}$

Subtract both sides by $-\frac{3}{5}$

$-\frac{3}{5}*- \frac{8}{3} = -\frac{5x}{3} * -\frac{3}{5}$

$-\frac{3}{5}*- \frac{8}{3} = x$

$\frac{3}{5} * \frac{8}{3} = x$

$\frac{8}{5} = x$

$x = \frac{8}{5}$

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

$6y = -10x + 16$

Divide both sides by 6

$\frac{6y}{6} = -\frac{10x}{6} + \frac{16}{6}$

$y = -\frac{10x}{6} + \frac{16}{6}$

Simplify fractions to lowest term

$y = -\frac{5x}{3} + \frac{8}{3}$

The slope of the line is the coefficient of x;

$Slope = -\frac{5}{3}$

Solve for the y intercept; Let x = 0

$y = -\frac{5 * 0}{3} + \frac{8}{3}$

$y = 0 + \frac{8}{3}$

$y = \frac{8}{3}$

Solve for the x intercept; Let y = 0

$0 = -\frac{5x}{3} + \frac{8}{3}$

Subtract $\frac{8}{3}$ from both sides

$0 - \frac{8}{3} = -\frac{5x}{3} + \frac{8}{3} - \frac{8}{3}$

$- \frac{8}{3} = -\frac{5x}{3}$

Subtract both sides by $-\frac{3}{5}$

$-\frac{3}{5}*- \frac{8}{3} = -\frac{5x}{3} * -\frac{3}{5}$

$-\frac{3}{5}*- \frac{8}{3} = x$

$\frac{3}{5} * \frac{8}{3} = x$

$\frac{8}{5} = x$

$x = \frac{8}{5}$

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

By comparing the slope, x intercept and y intercept of both lines;

It'll be observed that they have the same slope, x intercept and y intercept

This implies that both lines are equal; in other words, they are the same.
