1. Keith bought 6 baseball cards. His dog ate half of his collection and he was left with 36 cards. How many did he start with?

1 answer:

5 0

1. Answer=66cards

Lets use the variable 'x' to represent the number of baseball cards in Keith's collection that he started with. The following equation can be made.

(x+6)/2=36
multiply both sides by 2
x+6=72
subtract 6 from both sides
x=66 cards

2. Answer=$12

Lets use the variable 'a' to represent Sara's allowance. The following equation can be made:

(a/2)+7=13
subtract 7 from both sides
a/2=6
multiply both sides by 2
a=$12

Answer:

answer is:

$y=x^{3}-10 x,y=x^{2}-6$

Step-by-step explanation:

we are asked to find which system of equations can we use to find the roots of the equation:

$x^{3}-10x=x^{2}-6$

since the system of equation in last part is given as:

$y=x^{3}-10 x,y=x^{2}-6$

so, on equating both the equations i.e. on equating both the values of 'y' we get the desired equation as:

$x^{3}-10x=x^{2}-6$ .

Suppose you invest $10,410 in equipment to manufacture a new board game. Each game costs $2.65 to manufacture and sells for $20.

leva [86]

Let x= number of board games
20x=10410+2.65x 
-2.65 -2.65 
17.35x=10410 
/17.35 /17.35 
x=600 
You would need to sell at least 600 board games to break even
