How do you solve literal equations

Mathematics
1 answer:
Mnenie [13.5K]3 years ago
6 0
<span>See examples before for the method to solving literal equations for a given variable: Solve A = bh for b. Since h is multiplied times b, you must divide both sides by h in order to isolate b. Since (c+d) is divided by 2, you must first multiply both sides of the equation by 2. my own words didnt get off google im a teacher</span>

A store sells black ink pens for $5 and red ink pens for $4. John wishes to buy 20 pens but doesn’t wish to spend more than $92.
Zina [86]

Answer:  4r + 5(20-r) \le 92

=======================================

Explanation:

r = number of red pens

4r = cost of buying r red pens

example: if r = 10, then 4r = 4*10 = 40 is the total cost of buying 10 red pens

If John buys r red pens, then he must buy 20-r black pens so that r and 20-r add to 20.

John buys 20-r black pens, and at $5 each, so it will cost 5(20-r) dollars for just the black pens alone.

In total, John spends 4r + 5(20-r) dollars for all the pens (red & black)

We want $92 be the most he spends. This is the ceiling or highest value possible.

Therefore,

4r + 5(20-r) \le 92

--------------------

Extra info:

If you want to solve for r, then

4r + 5(20-r) \le 92

4r + 5(20)+5(-r) \le 92 distribute

4r + 100 - 5r \le 92  

100 - r \le 92

100-r+r \le 92+r add r to both sides

100 \le 92+r

100-92 \le 92+r-92 subtract 92 from both sides

8 \le r

r \ge 8

So John must buy at least 8 red pens. The most he can buy is 20 red pens since he wants 20 pens total.

The expression (x-y)(x2+xy+y2) is equivalent to which of the following?
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

x^3-y^3

Step-by-step explanation:

(x-y)(x^2+xy+y^2)
Multiply the terms,
x^3 + x^2y + xy^2-  x^2y - xy^2 - y^3
Simplify the terms,
x^3 - y^3
This is also the formula for difference of two cubes.

Solve for x.<br> I was sure the answer was 2?<br> Please show me the breakdown. THX
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

x = 8 and y = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the figures are congruent:

Angle PQR = EFG

6y + x = 68

Segment QR = FG

2x - 4 = 12

Solving that:

2x - 4 = 12

2x = 16

x = 8

Replacing x in 6y + x =68

6y + 8 = 68

6y = 60

y = 10

I don’t know hellppppp
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

part a in 3 months there are 108 rabbits

for 4 months put 328 rabbits

part b. for 1 month put 12 rabbits

for 3 months put 48 rabbits

Step-by-step explanation:

part a: so the pattern is multiply by 3 , the rabbits triple every month. so

4 times 3 = 12 which is the number of rabbits in 1 month so to find the third month multiply 12 by 3 which equals 36

then 36 by 3= 108 and so on.

part b: the pattern is multiply by 2. so the rabbits double each month. 6 times 2= 12 so 12 rabbits for 1 month the 12 times 2 = 24 rabbits for month 2 then 24 time 2= 48 rabbits for 3 months.
