Answer:

The money she start with is <u>$25</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Vanessa spent 4/5 of her money at the bookstore.

In total, the books cost $45.

Now, to find the money she start with.

Let the money she start with be x.

Money spent at the bookstore \frac{4}{5} x.

Total books cost = $45.

According to question:

x+\frac{4}{5}x=45

⇒x+\frac{9x}{5} =45

Adding the variables we get:

⇒\frac{9x}{5} =45

<em>Multiplying both sides by 5 we get:</em>

⇒9x=225

<em>Dividing both sides by 9 we get:</em>

⇒x=\$25

Therefore, the money she start with is <u>$25</u>.

Shkiper50 [21]

Andrew can buy maximum 3 meals this weekend.

From given question,

Andrew must spend less than 53$ on meals during the weekend.

He has already spent 21$ on meals costing 8$ average.

Let x, the number of meals

So, we get an inequality,

8x + 21 < 53

We need to find the number of meals he can buy this weekend.

From above inequality,

⇒ 8x + 21 < 53

⇒ 8x < 53 - 21

⇒ 8x < 32

⇒ x < 4

This means, from 1 to 3 meals.

Therefore, Andrew can buy maximum 3 meals this weekend.

Aleena expands 2xx+3-5(x-2) as 2x2+3-5x-10. Has she expanded it correctly? Please identify the mistakes and write the correct wa
Nimfa-mama [501]

The given expression is :

2xx+3-5(x-2)

We know that, x{\cdot}x=x^2

=2x^2+3-5(x-2)\\\\=2x^2+3+(-5)(x)+(-5)(-2)\\\\=2x^2+3-5x+10

Aleena expands 2xx+3-5(x-2) as 2x²+3-5x-10. She is mistaken because the sign before 10 should be +10 instead of -10. Hence, the correct expanded form is 2x²+3-5x+10. Hence, this is the required solution.
