Let x and y represent the larger and smaller numbers, respectively. The problem conditions give rise to two equations:
  x + y = 7
  5x +4y = 47

You can use the first equation to write an expression for y, then substitute that into the second equation.
  y = 7 - x
  5x +4(7 -x) = 47 . . . . substitute for y
  x + 28 = 47 . . . . . . .. simplify
  x = 19 . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 28

Using our expression for y, we have
  y = 7 -19 = -12

The larger number is 19.
The smaller number is -12.

ioda

Given,

f(x) = 3 - x

and

g(x) = -2x

Now,

g(2) =  - 2(2) =  - 4

f(g(2)) = 3 - ( - 4) = 3 + 4 = 7

Can someone please help me with this? I keep getting half of the answer and I'm doing everything right. ------------------------
serg [7]

Answer:

  a. x, x+2, x+4

  b. 10 ≤ 3x+6 ≤ 24

  c. 6 ft, 8 ft, or 10 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given</u>:

  • The lengths of the sides of a certain triangle, in feet, are consecutive even integers.
  • The perimeter of this triangle is between 10 feet and 24 feet inclusive.

<u>Find</u>:

  a. Using one variable, write three expressions that represent the lengths of the three sides of the triangle.

  b. Write a compound inequality to model this problem.

  c. Solve the inequality. List all possible lengths for the longest side of the triangle.

<u>Solution</u>:

You have let x represent the shortest side. (Note that the question asks for the length of the longest side.)

a. The expressions for side lengths can be x, x+2, x+4 when x is the shortest side.

__

b. Here is the compound inequality

  10 ≤ x+(x+2)+(x+4) ≤ 24

__

c. Here is the solution

  10 ≤ 3x+6 ≤ 24 . . . . collect terms

  4 ≤ 3x ≤ 18 . . . . . . . subtract 6

  4/3 ≤ x ≤ 6 . . . . . . . . divide by 3

<em>Your working is correct, but incomplete</em>. The values of interest are the even integers x+4.

  5 1/3 ≤ x+4 ≤ 10

The longest side may be 6 ft, 8 ft, or 10 ft.

A shop is having a sale all items are reduced work out the sale price of an item normally priced at £60
Naddik [55]

Question:

A shop is having a sales all items are reduced by 25%. Work out the sale price of an item normally priced at £60?

Answer:

The new price is £45

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Sales\ price = \pounds 60

Rate = 25\%

First, calculate the reduction

Reduction = Rate * Sales\ price

Reduction = 25\% * \pounds 60

Reduction = \pounds 15

The new price is:

New = Sales\ price - Reduction

New = \pounds 60 - \pounds 15

New = \pounds 45
