Lemonade: From the given information,you can write an linear equation like this: $2x + $3(100 - x) = 240 First, you have to distribute them = 2x + 300 - 3x Then, you have to add like terms = 1x + 300=240 Next, you have to transpose 300 to the left = -1x = 300 - 240 So, you have to subtract = -1x = -60 And, you solve = -60 = -60 So x = 60 60 cups of lemonade sold
Orange: 100 - x = 100 - 60 = 40 cups of orange juice sold So you can check our answer by using the original linear equation 2x + 3( 100 - x) = 240 2(60) + 3 (100 - 60) = 240 120 + 3(40) = 240 120 + 120 = 240 240 = 240
To calculate the volume of a rectangular box, first measure its length, width, and height. Be sure to use the same units, like inches or centimeters, for all 3 measurements! Then, simply multiply the 3 measurements together using the formula Volume = Length × Width × Height.
