The number is 28.

The equation would be:

237 + 6(x) = 405

The problem states that 6 times the opposite of a number, however, since the number sign was not given, we do not know whether it is in a positive or negative form. So we leave it as only x.

237 +  6x = 405
6x = 405 - 237
6x = 168
6x / 6 = 168 / 6
x = 28

To check:

237 + 6 (28) = 405
237 + 168 = 405
405 = 405

The answer is -2193
the opposite of 405 is -405
now multiply -405*6= -2430
finally add 2430+237=-2193<span />

Fantom [35]
Answer: Given the 3 choices in the problem, the greatest profit would be for the final pair (6, 12).

If you input 6 for x in the function and 12 for y in the function, you will get an output profit value of 1260.
P = 50(6) + 80(12)
P = 300 + 960

On these types of problems, there are generally multiple constraints that you have to be aware of. One of the vertices of the possible areas must be (6, 12).

Answer: number 3 is 32 number 4 is 40 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:You see in number 3 it says a millipede has 14 more legs than a caterpillar. Also it states the total of the legs are 46. This means you must subtract. 46-14 is equal to 32. And for number 4 it states the total time of all her classes are 1 hour and 10 minutes. The yoga class is 30 minutes longer. This means you must subtract those 30 minutes from the 1 hour and 10 minutes. 1 hour and 10 minutes- 30 minutes is equal to 40 minutes. This is the answer.

Hope this helps!!

Each scones sell for $1.50. The chorus profits are 80%of sale. Their current profits are $578.40. How many scones have they sold
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

482 scones.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Cost of each scones = $1.50

Their current profits are $578.40 which is 80% of his total sales.

Question asked:

How many scones have they sold ?

Solution:

Let total number of scones sold = x

Cost of 1 scone = $1.50

Cost of x scones = $1.50 \times x=\$1.5x       (Unitary method)

80% of his total sales = $578.40 (given)

\frac{80}{100} \times1.5x=578.40\\0.8\times1.5x=578.40\\1.2x=578.40

Dividing both sides by 1.2

x=482\ scones

Thus, they have sold 482 scones.
