20. Use the Distributive Property to find another expression for 3(2x + 7)

A cosmetic company makes three bottles of scented lotion using the recipe shown. Each bottle holds a different amount of lotion.

seropon [69]

Answer:

Part 1) Bottle 1 (vanilla=1,almond=3,pineapple=4)

Part 2) Bottle 2 (vanilla=2,almond=6,pineapple=8)

Part 3) Bottle 3 (vanilla=1 1/2,almond=4 1/2,pineapple=6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the amount of vanilla sent

y ----> amount of almond sent

z ----> the amount of pineapple sent

we know that

$x:y:z=\frac{1}{8}:\frac{3}{8}:\frac{1}{2}$

so

$\frac{x}{y}=\frac{1}{8}:\frac{3}{8}$

$\frac{x}{y}=\frac{1}{3}$

$x=\frac{y}{3}$ -----> equation A

$\frac{x}{z}=\frac{1}{8}:\frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{x}{z}=\frac{1}{4}$

$x=\frac{1}{4}z$ -----> equation B

$\frac{y}{z}=\frac{3}{8}:\frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{y}{z}=\frac{3}{4}$

$y=\frac{3}{4}z$ -----> equation C

Part 1) Bottle 1

vanilla=?

almond=?

pineapple=4

we have

$z=4$

Find the value of x

substitute the value of z in equation B

$x=\frac{1}{4}(4)$

$x=1$

Find the value of y

substitute the value of z in equation C

$y=\frac{3}{4}(4)$

$y=3$

therefore

Bottle 1

vanilla=1

almond=3

pineapple=4

Part 2) Bottle 2

vanilla=?

almond=6

pineapple=?

we have

$y=6$

Find the value of x

substitute the value of y in equation A

$x=\frac{6}{3}=2$

Find the value of z

substitute the value of x in equation B

$2=\frac{1}{4}z$

solve for z

$z=8$

therefore

Bottle 2

vanilla=2

almond=6

pineapple=8

Part 3) Bottle 3

vanilla=1 1/2

almond=?

pineapple=?

we have

$x=1\frac{1}{2}$

convert to an improper fraction

$x=1\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1*2+1}{2}=\frac{3}{2}$

Find the value of y

substitute the value of x in equation A

$\frac{3}{2}=\frac{y}{3}$

$y=\frac{9}{2}$

convert to mixed number

$y=\frac{9}{2}=\frac{8}{2}+\frac{1}{2}=4\frac{1}{2}$

Find the value of z

substitute the value of x in equation B

$\frac{3}{2}=\frac{1}{4}z$

$z=6$

therefore

Bottle 3

vanilla=1 1/2

almond=4 1/2

pineapple=6

UPS charges $7 for the first pound, and $0.20 for each additional pound. FedEx charges $5 for the first pound and $0.30 for each

grigory [225]

Answer:

1. 20 pounds

2. $11

Step-by-step explanation:

To set this up, you have to use a system of equations. It would look like this, where $p$ is pounds and $t$ is total cost:

UPS: $t=7+0.20p$

FedEx: $t=5+0.30p$

In order to solve a system of equations you must either a.) graph it, or b.) set them equal to each other.

If you graph it, the answer is where the two lines intersect.

If you set them equal to each other, solve it.

I will set them equal to each other in this:

$7+0.20p=5+0.30p$

The first step in a problem like this, where there's the same variable on both sides, is to subtract the smaller variable from both sides. In this case, it is $0.20x$ . That would turn the equation into:

$7=5+0.10p$

After that, you must solve it like a regular two-step equation.

Start by subtracting 5 from both sides:

$2=0.10p$

Now, you must divide both sides by $0.10$ .

$\frac{2}{0.10}=\frac{0.10p}{0.10}$

That would give us:

$20=p$

This means that in order for the prices to be the same, the package must be 20 pounds.

Now in order to find the total cost, you must plug 20 into one of the equations. It doesn't matter which, since they both equal the same. I will plug it into the FedEx equation:

$t=5+0.30(20)$

Now you can just use a calculator and solve that or do it by hand. Multiply 0.30 by 20, to get 6, then add 5, which equals 11.

You should get: $t=11$ .

This means that the total cost, when the costs are the same for both FedEx and UPS, is $11.

Avery deposited $400 in an account that earned 2.47% interest compounded annually. She did not make additional deposits or withd

aev [14]

Answer:

Amount ($451.9), Interest ($51.9)

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to use the formula of A = P(1 + $\frac{r}{n}$ )^n*t

A = Total Amount

P = Principle/Deposited money

R = Annual Interest Rate

N = Number of times compounder per year

T = time in years

We have P = $400, r = 2.47%, n = 1 and t = 5 years.

Now lets plug it all in!

$A = 400 (1 + \frac{0.0247}{1})^{1*5}$

$A = 400 * 1.0247^5$

$A = 400 * 1.129753$

A = 451.9

Now we need to find the interest...

We will use A = P + I since A is 451.9 and P = 400

451.9 = 400 + I

I = 451.9 - 400

I = 51.9

Write the following decimal number in its equivalent fraction form. Show all work for full credit.

Zigmanuir [339]

Let x=0.8888...

x=0.8888 Start with the given equation

10x=8.8888 Multiply both sides by 10. The goal is to move the decimal point to the next repeating portion (which is just one spot to the right)

Now subtract the equation x=0.8888 from 10x=8.8888 to get
10x-x=8.8888-0.8888

9x=8 Combine like terms. Notice how the decimal portions cancel out.

x=8/9 Divide both sides by 9 to isolate x

So the answer is x=8/9 which means that 8/9=0.8888 (where the 8's repeat)

A standard doorway measures 6 feet 8 inches by 3 feet. What is the largest dimension that will fit through the doorway without b

nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

87.73 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the dimensions of the rectangular doorway are,

Length = 6 ft 8 inches = 80 inches and Width = 3 feet = 36 inches.

Using Pythagoras Theorem, we will find the diagonal of the rectangular doorway.

i.e. $hypotenuse^{2}=length^{2}+width^{2}$
