Mrs Kennedy is buying pencils for 315 students.

The pencils are sold in boxes of 10.

Therefore the number of pencils she needs to buy should be a multiple of 10, so that she can buy boxes of 10 pencils each.

number of students are 315 but 315 is not a multiple of 10

so we have to round off 315 to the nearest ten, that's 320.

so then she has to buy 320 pencils

number of boxes she needs - 320 / 10 = 32 boxes of pencils

she only needs pencils for 315 students so she will have 5 extra pencils

she will have to buy 32 boxes

Sav [38]

You need to isolate x.


71 - 5x = 9x - 13

Add 13 to both sides.

84 - 5x = 9x

Add 5x to both sides.

84 = 14x

Divide both sides by 14.

6 = x


<h3>The answer is x = 6.</h3>

X y
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

a = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

If the rate of change is -8, subtract 8 from your y value of 27. And if 19 is correct, you should be able to subtract 8, and get 11 as the next number in the function, which you do, so 19 is the value of a.
