Tom conducted a drawing competition at school. He bought 5 boxes of colored pencils and spent $5.25 on drawing paper. However, m

ore contestants entered than he expected, and he had to buy 2 more boxes of colored pencils. The total cost of the paper and pencils was $82.95. Identify the equation and solution that would help to find the cost of each box of pencils.

Here's the solutions :

1. solve for a :

$4a = 20$

$a = \dfrac{20}{4}$

$a = 5$

2. solve for y :

$3y + 9 = 24$

$3y = 24 - 9$

$3y = 15$

$y = \dfrac{15}{3}$

$y = 5$

3. solve for y :

$\dfrac{y}{3} - 5 = 4$

$\dfrac{y}{3} = 5 + 4$

$\dfrac{y}{3} = 9$

$y = 9 \times 3$

$y = 27$

4. solve for k :

$3 = 9 - 4k$

$3 - 9 = -4 k$

$- 6 = - 4 k$

$k = \dfrac{ - 6}{ - 4}$

$k = \dfrac{3}{2} \: \: \: or \: \: 1.5$

5. there's something wrong with this question.

6. solve for x :

$3x + 8 = 2$

$3x = 2 - 8$

$3x = - 6$

$x = \dfrac{ - 6}{3}$

$x = - 2$

i hope it helped...

A company manufactures penny number 2 nails that are 1 inch in length. The actual length is allowed to vary by up to \displaysty

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

The absolute value equation representing the length of the nail is :

$\frac{31}{32} \leqslant x \leqslant 1 \frac{1}{32}$

A nail of length 1.05 inches is unacceptable

Actual Length of nail = 1 inch

Allowable variation = 1/32 inches

The minimum allowable length :

actual length - allowable variation

$1 - \frac{1}{32} = \frac{31}{32}$

The maximum allowable length :

Actual length + allowable variation

$1 + \frac{1}{32} = 1 \frac{1}{32}$

The length of X, of the nail must be follow the equation :

Minimum ≤ X ≤ maximum

$\frac{31}{32} \leqslant x \leqslant 1 \frac{1}{32}$

A nail of length 1.05 inches

Maximum nail length = 1 1/32 = 1.031

1.05 > 1.031 ; hence, it is greater than the maximum allowable length and hence, Unacceptabe
