Answer: 3 different ways
Those three ways, I'll label as A, B, and C
A) Buying the 78 cookies one at a time
B) Buying 6 packs of the 13-count cookies, so 13*6 = 78 cookies total.
C) Buying 2 packs of the 39-count cookies, so 2*39 = 78 cookies total
--------
For option A, we can imagine a rectangle that is 1 unit high and 78 units long giving an area of 1*78 = 78. Or we can imagine a single row of 78 cookies in this row.
In option B, we can have a rectangle that is 13 by 6, giving an area of 78. Or We could have 6 rows of 13 cookies per row (each row representing a package of cookies).
Option C would be similar to B, instead there would be 2 rows of 39 cookies per row.
First the question is sayin that x will be substituted for -10
so for every x put -10
8(-10)=6(-10)-20
then you multiply to get the next expression
so you know that 6 times -10 =-60 and you know that 8 times -10=-80 so now you have
-80=-60-20
now you just solve so you would just subtract -60-20 which would equal -80
so your answer is -80=-80 which is true
Answer: Well, once you add all of the prices together to see how much she spent after buying these items you'll see it totals up to $7.02. Veronica is correct in believing she should've received more change as she was only given 3 quarters which is 75 cents and 4 pennies which adds up to 79 cents. She should've actually received $2.98.
System B has no solution.
If I remember correctly, and I might be wrong, I think that the answer is D. I hope this helps you. :)
