Equation : 2x - 3 = 45

Paula sold 24 packages last year

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>DATA:</u>

Number of packages Paula sold this year = 45 packages

This year's packages are 3 less than twice the number of packages sold last year.

  • 3 less than = -3
  • Twice the number of packages sold last year

Let's assume the number of packages sold last year to be x

2x

Equation:

2x - 3 = 45

<u>Solution:</u>

2x - 3 = 45

2x = 48

x = 24

Therefore, Paula sold 24 packages last year.

Use the substitution method to solve the system of equations. y = -8x 4x - y = 3 O AG-2 O B. (6-1 oc c. (6.-4 D. G-4​
Triss [41]
<h2>x = 1/4</h2><h2>y = -2</h2><h2>______________</h2>

<h2>Known : </h2>

y = -8x

4x - y = 3

<h2>Asked: </h2>

Use the substitution method to solve the system of equations ?

<h2>Answered:</h2>

<h3>Substitution y</h3>

4x - y = 3

4x - (-8x) = 3

4x + 8x = 3

12x = 3

x = 3/12

x = 1/4

<h3>Substitution x</h3>

4x - y = 3

4(1/4) - y = 3

4/4 - y = 3

1 - y = 3

-y = 3 - 1

-y = 2

y = -2

the area of a window is 192 in squared. The width if the window is four inches more than half the length of the window. What are
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

Length = 16 inches and width = 12inches

Step-by-step explanation:

A = 192 in² . The width is 4 + 1/2x.  therefore let x = length

Area = LW

192 =  x(4 + 1/2 x)

192 = 4x + 1/2x²      

384 = 8x  + x²                            Multiply each term by 2 to make a  

384 + 16 =  x² + 8x + 16              Complete the square

400 = (x  + 4)²        

\sqrt{400} = \sqrt{(x + 4)^2}

± 20 = x + 4

20 = x + 4  or  -20 = x + 4

20 - 4 = x     or  -20 - 4 = x

    16 = x   or   -24 = x   reject the negative amount

   Length = 16

   width = 4 + 1/2(16);   4 + 8 = 12
