You can solve real-world and mathematical problems with numerical and algebraic equations and inequalities. Algebra can be applied to the temperature in different places that both change, height of a growing child over time, the speed of a car that changes over time (mph), and the age of people that increases over year. Algebra is used in parts of our everyday life, we just don’t realize it.
Tabitha Tidbits costs $7 per bag, and Figaro Flakes is $5.50 per bag.
You need to set up a system of equations. Use "x" for Tabitha Tidbits and "y" for Figaro Flakes, and let the total cost of each trip equal c. Using the equation ax+by=c, substitute the cost of each trip in for c, and the number of bags for each food for a and b respectively. The two equations will be:
3x+4y=43
3x+6y=54
Isolate x in the first equation and you will get:
x=(43-4y)/3
Substitute the above equation for x into the other equation:
3*((43-4y)/3)+6y=54
Isolate y in this equation, and you will get 11/2, which is 5.5
So the cost of one bag of Figaro Flakes is $5.50
Now substitute this into the equation where you isolated x:
(43-4(5.5))/3
You will get x=7, so a bag of Tabitha Tidbits is $7
Answer:
160
Step-by-step explanation:
If there were only 2 options, all the people who didn't pick one chose the other one.
So if 25% of the people voted for the aquarium the remaing 75% voted for the zoo.
Since three times as many people voted for the zoo, we can see that 120/3=40, so 40 people chose the aquarium.
To find the total number of students, we add 120 and 40 to get <u>160</u>
Answer:
a +d = a2
Step-by-step explanation:
-2 - (-9) =
-2+9=7
a + d = a2
Answer:
Sometimes
Step-by-step explanation:
When x is a nonzero integer, then x can be
If x is negative, then 
is positive (multiplying negative number by -3 you get positive number).
If x is positive, then is negative (multiplying positive number by -3 you get negative number).
So, the statement "When x is a nonzero integer, the quantity -3x will be negative" is sometimes true.
