X+24*(1/x)=11
x+24/x=11
x²+24=11x
x²-11x+24=0
(x+3)(x-8)=0
x=-3, x=8
checking : 8+24*(1/8)=11, 8+3=11 correct
-3+24*(1/-3)=-3-8=-11 incorrect
number is 8, reciprocal is 1/8

Answer:

$19 for one package of oatmeal cookie dough and $14 for one package of chocolate chip cookie dough

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to set up two equations: one that shows how much money Mike made and one that shows how much money Shawna made.  

Let's make a = price for one chocolate chip cookie dough and b = price for one oatmeal cookie dough.

First equation for Mike: 12a + 3b = 225

Second equation for Shawna: 6a + 11b = 293

Next we isolate b from Mike's equation: b = 75 - 4a

Then we plug this equation into Shawna's equation and we get:

6a + 11(75 - 4a) = 293

Solving for a would get us 14, or $14 for one chocolate chip cookie dough.

If we plug 14 = a into Mike's original equation and solve for b, we get b = 19, or $19 for one oatmeal cookie dough.

Hope this helped!

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

x =  2.

Step-by-step explanation:

5[3(x + 4) − 2(1 − x)] − x − 15 = 14x + 55

5[3x + 12 - 2 + 2x] - x - 15 = 14x + 55

5[5x + 10] - x - 15 = 14x + 55

25x + 50  - x - 15 = 14x + 55     Now we subtract 14x from both sides:

25x + 50  - x - 15  - 14x = 14x - 14x + 55

10x + 50 - 15 = 55 Now we subtract  50, add 15 to both sides:

10x + 50 - 50 - 15 + 15 = 55 - 50 + 15    

10x =  20

x = 2.
