He will need 315 sandwiches to make each day next week

Step-by-step explanation:

The given:

  • Friday's meeting needs 12 more sandwiches than Tuesday
  • Tuesday needs 6 fewer than Monday
  • Monday needs 20 more than Wednesday
  • Wednesday needs 5 fewer than Thursday
  • The number of sandwiches ordered for the meeting that calls for the fewest is 50

We need to find how many sandwiches he will need to make each day next week

Assume that Tuesday needs x sandwiches

∵ Friday's meeting needs 12 more sandwiches than Tuesday

∵ Tuesday needs x sandwiches

- Add x by 12 to find Friday's need

∴ Friday needs = x + 12

∵ Tuesday needs 6 fewer than Monday

- That means Monday needs 6 more than Tuesday, add 6 to x

   to find Monday needs

∴ Monday needs = x + 6

∵ Monday needs 20 more than Wednesday

- That means Wednesday needs 20 less than Monday, subtract

   20 from Monday needs to find Wednesday needs

∴ Wednesday needs = x + 6 - 20 = x - 14

∵ Wednesday needs 5 fewer than Thursday

- That means Thursday needs 5 more than Wednesday, add 5 to

    Wednesday needs to find Thursday needs

∴ Thursday needs = x - 14 + 5 = x - 9

∵ The number of sandwiches ordered for the meeting that calls

   for the fewest is 50

- From the days needs above the fewest one is Wednesday, then

   equate Wednesday needs by 50

∵ Wednesday needs is x - 14

∴ x - 14 = 50

- Add 14 to both sides

∴ x = 64

Substitute x in each day needs to find the number of sandwiches

∵ Tuesday needs is x

∴ Tuesday needs = 64

∵ Friday needs is x + 12

∴ Friday needs = 64 + 12 = 76

∵ Monday needs is x + 6

∴ Monday needs = 64 + 6 = 70

∵ Wednesday needs = 50

∵ Thursday needs is x - 9

∴ Thursday needs = 64 - 9 = 55

Add the numbers of sandwiches of all day to find the number of sandwiches he will need to make each day next week

∵ The number of sandwiches = 76 + 64 + 70 + 50 + 55

∴ The number of sandwiches = 315

He will need 315 sandwiches to make each day next week

You and a friend go to a mexican restaurant. you order 2 tacos and 3 enchiladas and your friend orders 3 tacos and 5 enchiladas.
Eva8 [605]
For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables.
 We have then:
 x: cost of tacos
 y: cost of enchiladas.
 We write the system of equations:
 2x + 3y = 7.80
 3x + 5y = 12.70
 Solving the system we have:
 x = 0.9 $
 y = 2 $
 Answer:
 
each taco and each enchilada was:
 
x = 0.9 $
 
y = 2 $

The length of a rectangle is 3 cm less than its width what are the dimensions of the rectangle if its area is 270 cm²
kupik [55]

Given:

The length of a rectangle is 3 cm less than its width.

The area of the rectangle is 270 cm².

To find:

The dimensions of the rectangle.

Solution:

Let x be the width of the rectangle. Then,

\text{Length}=x-3

Area of a rectangle is:

\text{Area}=\text{Length}\times \text{width}

270=(x-3)(x)

270=x^2-3x

0=x^2-3x-270

Splitting the middle term, we get

x^2-18x+15x-270=0

x(x-18)+15(x-18)=0

(x-18)(x+15)=0

x=18,-15

Width of the rectangle cannot be negative. So, the only value of x is 18.

Width=18

Length=18-3

Length=15

Therefore, the length of the rectangle is 15 cm and the width of the rectangle is 18 cm.
