Answer:
The answer for this question is 40
Answer:
7x+ 5y <= 10
Step-by-step explanation:
As the x represents the number of pounds of almonds and the price of the almonds is $7/lb, we need to look for an inequality where the x is multiplied by $7 and the same with the y and $5.
It's useless to multiply the x by $5 or the y by $7 because we are mixing the prices of the nuts.
On the other hand, we don't want to spend more than 10. That means we can spend 10 or less.
Therefore, the inequality we can use to find how much of each type of nut we can buy without spending more than $10 is
7x+ 5y <= 10
So given a rectangle
sides are
_<u>x</u>_
x-5|__|x-5
x
the perimeter is 90 inches
perimeter is
x + x + (x-5) + (x-5) = 90
combine like terms
2x + 2(x-5) = 90
distribute
2x + 2x-10 = 90
combine like terms
4x - 10 = 90
add 10 to both sides
4x= 100
divide both sides by 4
x = 25
now to find the length of a side
x is 25
and x-5 is 20
to check and see if that's right:
25 + 25 + 20 + 20 =?= 90
50 + 40 =?=
90 = 90
Now to find the area
A = b * h
so
x * (x-5)
substitute
25* 20
500
The area of the rectangle is 500
Hope this helps :)
