Answer:
x = 4, -2 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
factors:
(2x + 5) (x - 4)
set each factor equal to zero:
2x + 5 = 0
2x = -5
x = -5/2
x - 4 = 0
x = 4
Answer:
458 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
5 × 5 × 2 + 5 × 18 × 4 = 50 + 360 = 410
2 × 2 × 4 × 3 = 48
410 + 48 = 458
Let n be a number of balls: n = 14
In one pan you have 8 balls: 8n
In the other pan you have the rest of balls (14 - 8 = 6) along with a <span>weight of 20 grams = 6n + 20
So the pans are balanced:
8n = 6n + 20
Now, just solve the equation:
8n - 6n = 20
2n = 20
n = 20/2
n = 10
So, you know that a ball weights 10 grams.</span>
Answer:
28 boxes
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to take the total number of cans needed and divide by the number of cans per box to determine the number of boxes
895 / 32 =27 with 31 left over
Making this a fraction
27 31/32 boxes
We cannot normally order part of a box
Rounding up to the next whole box
28 boxes
