It’s confusing

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2.

Because we don't know how many crayons he bought we will call it c.

c = total number of crayons purchased

T = total number of crayons each student gets

To determine how many crayons each student gets we divide c by 32, because that's the number of students in his class.

c / 32 = T

So let's say he purchased 120 crayons.

c = 120

120/32 = T

T = 3.75

Since he can't give a fraction of a crayon, in this case, each student will get 3 crayons.

3.

We will now pretend there are 24 crayons in 1 box.

So T still equals the total number of crayons each student gets and c still equals number of crayons purchased, but now we also have b which equals the number of crayons in 1 box.

c = total number of crayons purchased

T = total number of crayons each student gets

b = number of crayons in 1 box

x = number of boxes purchased

So b*x = c

We can still write the equation:

c / 32 = T

We know T = 12 So we plug 12 in for T

c / 32 = 12  Now multiply each side by 32, so 32 will cancel on the left.

32c/32 = 12 * 32

c = 12 * 32

c = 384

So if he needs to purchase 384 crayons we can use our other equation.

b*x = c    

b = 24

c = 384

So we plug those in.

24x = 384  Divide each side by 24 so 24 will cancel on the left.

24x/24 = 384/24

x = 384/24

x = 16

So he needs to buy 16 boxes of crayons in this instance. We can figure out how many boxes he bought in #2 by using the same equation.

b*x = c  

c = 120 in #2

b =24

24 * x = 120

24x/24 = 120/24

x = 120/24

x = 5

So for each student to have 12 crayons he needs to purchase 11 more boxes (16 - 5 = 11).

This will work for whatever numbers you were given.

Remember:

c = total number of crayons purchased

T = total number of crayons each student gets

b = number of crayons in 1 box

x = number of boxes purchased

b*x = c

c / 32 = T

PLEASE HELP:)))))))))
slava [35]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the 3 angles in a triangle = 180° , thus

y = 180° - (55 + 41)° = 180° - 96° = 84°

z and y are adjacent angles and supplementary, thus

z = 180° - 84° = 96°

x and 109° are alternate exterior angles and congruent, thus

x = 109°

PYTHAGOREAN THEOREM
Sav [38]

Answer:

the answer is 29

Step-by-step explanation:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2 (btw ^ means to the power)

a and b are the legs. c is the hypotenuse

21^2 + 20^2 = c^2

441 + 400 = 481

then we have to square it.

the square root of 481= 29.

btw the hypotenuse is always going to be bigger than the legs.

hope it helps!! btw it is right!
