So if the dress is 25% off, that means you are paying 75% of the original price.
sale price = original price x 0.75
225 = original price x 0.75
divide both sides by 0.75 to isolate original price
225/0.75 = (original price x 0.75)/0.75
300 = original price
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = the number of bottles of paint that Carmen can buy
Let y = the number of boxes of colored pencils that Carmen can buy
A bottle of paint costs $2
A box of colored pencils costs $3.50
She can spend no more than $42 on art supplies. This means
She can buy bottles of paint worth 2×x = $2x
She can buy boxes of colored pencils
worth 3.5 × y = $3.5y
Since the total amount she can spend cannot exceed $42, the equation becomes
2x + 3.5y lesser than or equal to 42
This is shown in the attached photo
b) three different solutions to the inequality would be three different possible values that x and y can take. These are
x = 7 while y = 8
x = 10 while y = 6
x = 14 and y = 4
Answer:
Simplifying
6x2 + 11x + 3 = 0
Reorder the terms:
3 + 11x + 6x2 = 0
Solving
3 + 11x + 6x2 = 0
Solving for variable 'x'.
Factor a trinomial.
(3 + 2x)(1 + 3x) = 0
