Answer:They will need to make 18 lunches
Step-by-step explanation: How I did it was use the website demos scientific calculator and put the question of what is 60% of 30 and it gave the answer!
JK + KL = JL
JK = 2x, KL = x + 2, JL = 5x - 10
therefore we heve the equation:
2x + (x + 2) = 5x - 10
3x + 2 = 5x - 10 |-2
3x = 5x - 12 |-5x
-2x = -12 |:(-2)
x = 6
JK = 2x → JK = 2(6) = 12
KL = x + 2 → KL = 6 + 2 = 8
JL = 5x - 10 → JL = 5(6) - 10 = 30 - 10 = 20
Check:
JK + KL = JL
12 + 8 = 20 CORRECT :)
So let's see here...
6:00 A.M. temperature is 33°F.
12:00 P.M temperature increased by 10°F making it 43°F.
3:00 P.M. temperature increased by another 12°F making it 55°F.
At 10:00 P.M it would decrease by 15°F making it 40°F.
The temperature would need to fall (or decrease) by 7°F to reach the original temperature of 33°F
Hope this helped!
