1 answer:
Verdich [7]3 years ago

Answer:

1. 4/5+x=1/3

2. x=-7/15

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, let's break this down. Let's translate the words into numbers.

  1. Four fifths= 4/5. A number=x. One third=1/3.
  2. More than= +. Is means =.

So, 4/5+x=1/3. Great job! Your half way there:) Now we need to solve it.

  1. 4/5+x=1/3 (Original Equation.)
  2. x=1/3-4/5 (We subtracted both sides by 4/5 to isolate the x term.)
  3. x=5/15-12/15 (We found the common denominator to make it easier to subtract.)
  4. x=-7/15 (Ta-da!)

On the first day, a company has 64 orders for shipping crates on backorder. Every day customers order 18 more shipping crates. I
SOVA2 [1]

The <em><u>correct answer </u></em>is:

B. 14

Explanation:

Let x be the number of days.  On day 1, we begin with 64 orders.  We gain 18 orders per day; this is 18x, and gives us

64+18x.

We also make 28 crates per day, which decreases the number of crates we need by 28 per day; this is -28x, and gives us

64+18x-28x

Combining like terms, we get

64-10x

For day 5, we replace x with 5:

64-10(5) = 64-50 = 14

An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length, a, and a base, b. The perimeter of the triangle is 15.7 inches, so the equa
Orlov [11]

it cant be a negative number or zero

 so now you are left with 0.5, 2 and 7.9

15.7 - 0.5 = 15.2 ( 15.2/2 = 7.6)  this is possible

15.7 - 2 = 13.7 ( 13.7/2 = 6.85) this is possible

15.7 - 7.9 = 7.8 ( 7.8/2 = 3.9) (7.9/2 = 3.95) since the sides would be shorter than half the base this is not possible to form a triangle


so b can be either 0.5 or 2
