Answer: The equation is $29 + x*$4.50 = $42.50, and the solution is x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
The data we have is:
Gonzales has $42.50
He wants to buy:
a shirt that costs $29
some bracelets that cost $4.50 each.
The equation that we need to solve is:
Total cost = money that Gonzales has.
The cost is $29 + x*$4.50
where x is the number of bracelets he can buy.
The equation that we need to solve is:
$29 + x*$4.50 = $42.50
to solve it we must isolate x:
x*$4.50 = $42.50 - $29 = $13.50
x = 13.50/4.50 = 3
So we have that Mr. Gonzales can buy a total of 3 bracelets.
Answer:
(67879,96344)
Step-by-step explanation:
I took the test
1. Let's call:
x: the width of the walkway.
b: 2x+16 (there is a widht "x" of the walkway on each side).
h: 2x+32 (there is a widht "x" of the walkway on each side).
A: 924 ft^2 ( the area of the pool of including the walkway).
2. The area of a rectangle is:
A=(b)(h)
b: the base of the rectangle (2x+16)
a: the height of the rectangle (2x+32)
3. Then, we have a quadratic equation:
924=(2x+16)(2x+32)
4x^2+64x+32x+512-924=0
4x^2+96x-412=0
4. We apply the quadratic formula to find the value of "x":
x=(-b±√(b^2-4ac))/2a
x=3.71
The answer is: The width of the walkway is 3.71 ft
Ratio of large box
96:6
Thus 96/6 = 16
Small box
2*16 = 32
There are 32 candles in the small box.
