Answer:

The number of pens sold on Monday is 107 pens

Step-by-step explanation:

total pack of pen sold by the retailer in 3 days =  10 packs

total number of pens in the 10 packs = 48 x 10 = 480 pens

let the number of pens sold on Monday = x

let the number of pens sold on Sunday = y

let the number of pens sold on Tuesday = z

He sold twice as many pens on Sunday than on Monday

y = 2x ------equation (1)

He sold 55 pens fewer on Tuesday than on Sunday

y = z + 55 ------equation (2)

total number of pens sold in the three days

y + z + x = 480  ------equation (3)

from equation (1) make x the subject of the formula

x = y/2

from equation (2) make z the subject of the formula

z = y - 55

substitute the value of x, and z into equation (3)

y + y/2 + y - 55 = 480

2y + y/2 = 480 + 55

5y/2 = 535

5y = 535 x 2

5y = 1070

y = 1070 / 5

y = 214

The number of pens sold on Monday is:

x = y / 2

x = 214 / 2

x = 107 pens

Thus, the number of pens sold on Monday is 107 pens

A rectangular garden has an area of 46 1/2 square feet. If the garden is 7 1/2 feet long, how many feet wide is it?
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

The answer is 6 1/5 feet in width.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the formula for area is <em>wl</em> or <em>width </em>x <em>length</em>, we can utilize our reversive property to find our width by dividing the Area we are given by our length, giving us the missing width in return. Dividing 46.5 square feet by 7.5 feet gives us 6.2 feet, or 6 1/5 feet.

Hope this helps!

Which region represents the solution to the given system of inequalities?
Phoenix [80]

Answer: The intersection region shown in the graph attached is the solution of the system of inequalities.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line in Slope-Intercept form is:

y=mx+b

Where "m" is the slope and "b" is the y-intercept.

 Given the following system of inequalities:

\left \{ {{x+3y\leq-3 } \atop {x\geq3 }} \right.

We need to graph the lines.

We have the line:

x+3y=-3

Solving for "y", we get:

3y=-x-3\\\\y=\frac{1}{3}x-1

Knowing that m=-\frac{1}{3} and b=-1, we can graph it.

Since the symbol is \leq, the line must be solid.

The other line is:

x=3

Since "x" only takes one value, we can identify that it is a vertical line, so we can graph it.

Since the symbol is \geq, the line must be solid.

We need to substitute a point that is not on the line, into each inequalities. Let's choose the point (0,0).

Then:

0+3(0)\leq-3\\\\0\leq-3

This is false, therefore, we must shade the half that does not contain this point.

0\geq 3

This is false, so we must shade the half that does not contain this point.

The intersection region of the solutions (Observe the graph attached) of the given inequalities is the solution of the system of inequalities.
