The Solution:
The correct answer is [option B]
Given:
Required:
To determine the inequality represented by the given number line.
1) 1, -2..for the first question
We know that there are 21 buttons total. x is the number of small buttons and y is the number of large buttons.
Therefore, our first equation should be x+y = 21.
We know the small buttons sell for 3 dollars, meaning 3x represents how much is made from the small buttons. The larger buttons sell for 4 dollars, meaning 4y is how much is made from the large buttons.
We also know that the total of the buttons sold is 68 dollars. Therefore 3x + 4y = 68 is our second equation.
From this information, the answer is the first set.
Answer:
24th day will be the first day on which Tyler will wear his jackets and scarf to school
Step-by-step explanation:
We can find the first day on which the Tyler will wear his jackets and scarf to school by taking the LCM of(3,8)
<u>Finding the LCM of(3,8)</u>
List all prime factors for each number.
Prime Factorisation of 3 shows:
3 is prime => 
Prime Factorisation of 8 is:
2 x 2 x 2 => 
For each prime factor, find where it occurs most often as a factor and write it that many times in a new list.
The new super-set list is
2, 2, 2, 3
Multiply these factors together to find the LCM.
LCM = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 = 24
The short answer is that algebra doesn't work that way. You wouldn't divide *everything* by 2, but every term that contains a factor of 2.
In the expression
2 (6<em>x</em> - 1) + 2 (2<em>x</em> + 5)
both terms have a factor of 2 (the 2 out in front of them). They're the ones that get canceled when dividing by 2:
(2 (6<em>x</em> - 1) + 2 (2<em>x</em> + 5)) / 2 = 2/2 (6<em>x</em> - 1) + 2/2 (2<em>x</em> - 5)
… = 1 (6<em>x</em> - 1) + 1 (2<em>x</em> - 5)
… = (6<em>x</em> - 1) + (2<em>x</em> - 5)
and so on.
Looking ahead, it turns out that the equation is solved by <em>x</em> = 7. This makes 6<em>x</em> - 1 = 41 and 2<em>x</em> + 5 = 19. So the equation is saying that, if you make these replacements,
2×41 + 2×19 = 120
If you divide *everything* on the left by 2, you end up with fractions:
(2/2)×(41/2) + (2/2)×(19/2) = 41/2 + 19/2
but 41 + 19 = 60, so the end result would be 30, but that's not the same as 120/2 = 60.
