Make 2 equations from the question first
x is the number of pints for type 1
y is the number of pints for type 2
The equation
x + y = 120
60% x + 85% y = 65% (x + y)
Solve the equation
From the 2nd equation
0.6x + 0.85y = 0.65(x + y)
0.6x + 0.85y = 0.65x + 0.65y
0.85y - 0.65y = 0.65x - 0.6x
0.2y = 0.05x
y = 4x
From the 1st equation
x + y = 120
x + 4x = 120
5x = 120
x = 24
y = 4x
y = 96
The first type should be 24 pints, the second type should be 96 pints
I’m pretty sure he could only make 1 rectangle with 5cm because it’s an odd number which means he couldn’t stack them on top of each other evenly like he could with the 6cm rectangles, so he’d only be able to line them up next to each other and that’s it (I hope that’s right; sorry if it’s not but it makes sense to me lol)
I don’t see the answers on the screen
Answer:
- Infinitely Many
- Distributive Property
Step-by-step explanation:
8x + 2(x - 7) = 7x + 3x - 14
8x + 2x - 14 = 7x + 3x - 14 Distributive property.
10x - 14 = 10x - 14 Combine the like terms.
-14 = -14 Subtraction.
0 = 0 Addition.
Since the statement 0 = 0 is true regardless of the value of x, there is infinitely many solutions.
