Peter's account is 910-40x, and Marla's account is 470-2x. This is a system, so you must find the number that makes both equations end up with the same number. Basically trial and error. Here is what I did:
Let's try the number 10. 910-400=510 and 470-20=450. I need a higher number.
Let's try 13 next. 910-520=390 and 470-26=444. Now the number has to be lower.
Let's try 12. 910-480=430 and 470-24=446. Close, and a little lower.
11.5 is too low, and 11.7 is too high. 11.6 has Equation 1 at 446 and Equation 2 at 446.8. Very close!
It is somewhere around 11.6. I hope that this can give you a start in figuring it out, because I don't believe in giving the complete answer, because then you do not learn anything from it.
I think the answer is 33510.32in³
Answer:
1.75 gallons of paint
Step-by-step explanation:
A student in the construction trades program has 4 1/2 gallons of paint
If the student uses 2.75 gallons in one room then the gallons of paint that are left can be calculated as follows
= 4 1/2 - 2.75
= 9/2 - 2.75
= 4.5 - 2.75
= 1.75
Hence 1.75 gallons of paint are left
Answer:
8.5 or 8½
Step-by-step explanation:
Arranged numbers in ascending order
2, 6, 8, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14
Median = middle number i. e 8 and 9
Therefore median = 8 + 9 divided by 2
= 17 divided 2
= 8.5
Answers = 8.5 or 8½
