X=cost of one box of popcorn.
we can suggest this equation:
3x+1.75=9.25
3x=9.25-1.75
3x=7.5
x=7.5/3
x=2.5
Answer: the equation to find the cost of one box of popcorn is 3x+1.75=9.25, and the cost of one box of popcorn is $2.5.
Answer:
y-intercept is (0,30); x-intercept is (52.5,0).
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that as x increases by 7 from -35 to -28, y decreases by 4 from 18 to 14. Thus, the slope of this line is
m = rise / run = -4/7.
Let's find the equation of the line. Start with the slope-intercept form:
y = mx + b. Use the slope m = -4/7 and the point (-28, 14) to find b:
14 = -(4/7)(28) + b, or
14 = -16 + b. Then b = 30, and the equation of the line in slope-intercept form is y = (-4/7)x + 30. The y-intercept is (0, 30).
Find the x-intercept by setting y=0 and solving the resulting equation for x:
y = (-4/7)x + 30 becomes (4/7)x = 30, and x = (7/4)(30) = 214, or 52.5.
The x-intercept is thus (52.5, 0).
Answer:
$32
Step-by-step explanation:
A sum of money is divided in the ratio 2:3:7.
Let the share of each individual be represented by 2x,3x,7x respectively.
The largest share (7x) is given as $112.
![\[7x = 112\]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5C%5B7x%20%3D%20112%5C%5D)
![\[=>x = \frac{112}{7}\]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5C%5B%3D%3Ex%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B112%7D%7B7%7D%5C%5D)
![\[=>x = 16\]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5C%5B%3D%3Ex%20%3D%2016%5C%5D)
So the respective shares are ![\[2\times16,3\times16,7\times16\]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5C%5B2%5Ctimes16%2C3%5Ctimes16%2C7%5Ctimes16%5C%5D)
In other words, the shares are 32,48,112.
So the smallest share is $32
Well I THINK triangle ABC is just a stretched out version of triangle DEF.
To find the area of a triangle, you multiply base and height, and divide by 2.
Area of DEF is 6, so that means that (4 * x)/2 = 6.
6*2 = 12....
4 * x = 12........
4 * 3 = 12.
x = 3.
Comparing DEF to ABC: ABC's base is 3 times as long as DEF's. So that means the height must be three times as long.
3*3 = 9.
(12 * 9)/2 =54
