Answer: he bought 5 green pencils

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of green pencils that Dustin bought.

Dustin bought 9 pencils. The remainder of the pencils were purple. This means that the number of purple pencils that he bought is 9 - x

Some of the pencils were green and cost $0.90 each. The remainder of the pencils were purple and cost $0.65 each. If Dustin paid $7.10 for all of the pencils, it means that

0.9x + 0.65(9 - x) = 7.1

0.9x + 5.85 - 0.65x = 7.1

0.9x - 0.65x = 7.1 - 5.85

0.25x = 1.25

x = 1.25/0.25

x = 5

What is the value of x 5,2.5,7.5,10
Norma-Jean [14]
This question is referred to two similar triangles.

One triangle has sides x and x - 2.

The other triangle has the respective sides x + x + 5 and x - 2 + x + 1

Then you can state a proportionality relation between the sides>

[x + x + 5] / x = [x - 2 + x + 1] / [x - 2]

=> [2x + 5] / x = [2x - 1] / [x - 2]

=> (2x + 5)(x - 2) = (2x - 1)x

=> 2x^2 - 4x + 5x - 10 = 2x^2 - x

=> x - 10 = - x

=> 2x = 10

=> x = 10 / 2

=> x = 5

Answer: x = 5

What value of x is in the solution set of -2(3x + 2) > -8x + 6?
n200080 [17]

Answer:

x > 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

= -2(3x + 2) > -8x + 6

 (negative sign before bracket will alter the internal signs when multiplied by each term)

= -6x - 4 > -8x +6

Taking x terms on left side and other constants on right side

= -6x + 8x > 6 +4

Signs will be changer for transferred terms

= 2x > 10

By Dividing both sides 2 we get

=x > 10/2

= x >5
