Answer:

B. The manager estimate is reasonable. They ordered about 150 picks and sold about 200 picks, so they should have about 50 fewer than they started with.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:-

Previous guitar In-stock before ordering and selling(P) = 500 picks. -----(equation 1)

Now, ordered guitar is 15 boxes of 9 picks each.

Ordered guitar=15 \times 9

Hence, Ordered guitar(O)=135 picks ------------(equation 2)

Now, selled guitar is 19 boxes of 10 picks each.

So, Selled guitar = 19\times 10

Hence, Selled guitar(S) =190 picks   ------------(equation 3)

Now to calculate current in-stock of guitar we can write as,

Current guitar in-stock(C) =  Previous in-stock(P) + Ordered guitar(O) - Selled guitar(S)

C=P+O-S

C=500+135-190

C=635-190

C=445

\therefore Current guitar in-stock(C) = 445 picks ------(equation 4)

So, difference in-stock (D) = Previous guitar in-stock(P)- Current guitar in stock(C)

D=P-C

D=500-445

D=55

Therefore Difference in Previous and current stock of guitar(D) = 55 = 50 pick approx.

Hence, the manager estimate is reasonable. They ordered about 150 picks and sold about 200 picks, so they should have about 50 fewer than they started with.

Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

-5(1 + 1x) = -50

-5 + -5x = -50

-5 + -5x + 5 = -5x

-50 + 5 = -45

-5x = -45

-5x / -5 = x

-45 / -5 = 9

x = 9

Which inequality is equivalent to x-6/x+5≥x+7/x+3?
yawa3891 [41]
To find equivalent inequalities you have to work the inequality given.

The first step is transpose on of sides to have an expression in one side and zero in the other side:

  x - 6        x + 7
--------- ≥  --------
  x + 5       x + 3

=>

  x - 6          x + 7
--------- -  --------   ≥ 0
  x + 5       x + 3

=>

 (x - 6) (x + 3) - (x + 7) (x + 5)
--------------------------------------- ≥ 0
          (x + 5) (x + 3)

=>

 x^2 - 3x - 18 - x^2 - 12x - 35
--------------------------------------- ≥ 0
         (x + 5) (x + 3)

           15x + 53
-     -------------------   ≥ 0
       (x + 5) (x + 3)

That is an equivalent inequality. Sure you can arrange it to find many other equivalent inequalities. That is why you should include the list of choices. Anyway from this point it should be pretty straigth to arrange the terms until making the equivalent as per the options.

what is the solution to the equation fraction 1 over 6x = 2? x = fraction 1 over 12 x = fraction 1 over 3 x = 3 x = 12
hram777 [196]
1/6x = 2.....multiply both sides by the reciprocal 6/1
(6/1)(1/6)x = 2(6/1)
1x or just x = 12
