No table is provided.

"Guess and check" is a solution method suitable for multiple choice questions and other questions that don't have a simple and obvious method for obtaining a solution directly.

For problems of this sort, you can usually work them in your head by assuming all of the total comes from the least contributor. Here, that would be tomato packets at $3 each. Buying 9 packets will result in a total of $27, which is $4 short of the actual total. Now, consider how much more the radish packets are. they are $4 - $3 = $1 more for each packet. That is, the $4 shortfall in total cost can be made up by having four (4) radish packets in the mix.

Without "guess and check" you have found that Evita bought 4 packets of radish seeds.

_____

I suppose you could "guess and check" using ...

9 tomato + 0 radish : 9*$3 + $0 = $27

8 tomato + 1 radish : 8*$3 + 1*$4 = $28 . . . . up by $1. We need to go up 3 more

5 tomato + 4 radish : 5*$3 + 4*$4 = $31 . . . . the solution we want

ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

2835x^5.

Step-by-step explanation:

By Binomial Theorem, T(r+1) = nCr * a^(r+1) * b^r.

Term 5 = 7C4 * x^5 * 3^4

= 35 * x^5 * 3^4

= 2835x^5.

The difference between two numbers is 25. The smaller number us 1/6th of the larger number. What is the value of the smaller num
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L be the larger number and s be the smaller one.

Then we have two equations.

(1) L – s = 25

(2)       s = L/6     Multiply both sides by 6

        6s = L         Substitute the value for L in Equation(1)

 6s – s = 25        Combine like terms

       5s = 25        Divide both sides by 5

         s = 5

The value of the smaller number is 5.
