Mrs Kennedy is buying pencils for 315 students.
The pencils are sold in boxes of 10.
Therefore the number of pencils she needs to buy should be a multiple of 10, so that she can buy boxes of 10 pencils each.
number of students are 315 but 315 is not a multiple of 10
so we have to round off 315 to the nearest ten, that's 320.
so then she has to buy 320 pencils
number of boxes she needs - 320 / 10 = 32 boxes of pencils
she only needs pencils for 315 students so she will have 5 extra pencils
she will have to buy 32 boxes
Answer: 32.2
Step-by-step explanation:
y=x+14 line 1
y=3x+2 line 2
These are both the equation of lines written in slope intercept form
y=mx+b where m is the slope and the point (0,b) is the y intercept.
The first line has a slope of m=1. The 2nd line has a slope of m=3
Since these lines have different slopes, they are not parallel, thus they will cross at some point. What you have to determine is where the lines cross, which will be a point (x,y) that is on both lines.
We already have y solved in terms of x from either equation so we can use substitution to solve the system.
Since y=x+14 from line 1, put x+14 in place of y in the equation of line 2.
x+14=3x+2
solve for x.
Subtract x from both sides...
14= 3x-x+2
14=2x+2
subtract 2 from both sides
14-2=2x
12=2x
divide both sides by 2
6=x
We now have the x value of the common point. Plug the value 6 in for x in one of the original equations and solve for y.
y=6+14
y=20
These two lines cross at the point (6,20) which is a point the two lines have in common.

The given triangle is isosceles, so the two remaining angles in the triangle both have measure <em>xº</em>. The interior angles of any triangle sum to 180º, so that
58º + <em>xº</em> + <em>xº</em> = 180º
58 + 2<em>x</em> = 180
2<em>x</em> = 122
<em>x</em> = 61
Angles <em>y</em> and <em>z</em> are supplementary to angle <em>x</em>, so that
<em>xº</em> + <em>yº</em> = 180º
and
<em>xº</em> + <em>zº</em> = 180º
and consequently, <em>y</em> = <em>z</em>. In particular, we get
<em>y</em> = 180 - 61
<em>y</em> = 119
and so
<em>z</em> = 119
Our equation looks like:
This means that we will need to distribute. This means that we need to multiply everything inside the parenthesis by the number outside of the parenthesis. (<em>Note: you only distribute when variables are involved.)</em>
Simplify:
We cannot simplify any further, so we know that our equation, until we know what x equals, is 
.
