Answer:
-156250
Step-by-step explanation:
The pattern is multiplying by -5.
2, -10, 50, -250, 1250, -6250, 31250, -156250
Number of apples=12 times numer of bags=12n
neeeds at least 75 apples (1 per student)
12n≥75
divide both sides by 12
n≥6.25
can't buy 0.25 of a bag
7
needs to buy 7 bags
53+53+53+53+53+53=318
if you add 53 six times you get 318
There are infinitely many solutions to this problem (which is why it asks what could those numbers be), so you just have to make one up!
Start with the first sentence.
x + y + z = 6.0
Now one of those numbers has to be less than 1. I'll choose x. And I'll choose a random number, say, 0.7.
0.7 + y + z = 6.0
Now I'll subtract 0.7 from both sides to see what y and z have to add up to.
0.7 + y + z - 0.7 = 6.0 - 0.7
y + z = 5.3
Now I'll choose a random number for y that's less than 5.3.
2.6 + z = 5.3
And subtract 2.6 from both sides to find z.
2.6 + z - 2.6 = 5.3 - 2.6
z = 2.7
And now we have our numbers!
x = <u>0.7</u>
y = <u>2.6</u>
z = <u>2.7</u>
