Answer:
40 items
Step-by-step explanation:
I used the equation 1.5x+50=2.75x to find the answer. If the school were to buy 40 items from either truck, they would both amount to 110.
So much stuff at once...
I'm only going to give you the information needed to do this.
All of these involve the 4 main exponent laws.
1) Multiplying.
When you multiply two 'numbers' that share the same base, you add exponents and keep the base the same. (ex. 4g²(4g⁴) = 4g²⁺⁴ = 4g⁶)
2) Dividing.
When you divide two 'numbers' that share the same base, you subtract exponents and keep the base the same. (ex. 3a⁷ / 3a⁴ = 3a⁷⁻³ = 3a³)
3) To the power of 1.
Anything to the power of 1 is the same. (ex. 5a¹ = 5a)
4) To the power of 0.
Anything to the power of 0 = 1. (ex. 2d⁰ = 2(1) = 2)
This should help.
(a) 0.50 per pound, you do 6 divided by 12
(b) 9.17 pounds per field, you do 55 divided by 6
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.
