Answer:
61 bags of lettuce
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's create two equations representing the cost of bags of lettuce:
Val's Veggies: 250 + 1.50x = V
Sally's Salads: 100 + 4.00x = S
If you buy 60 bags of lettuce from either store, the answers will be equivalent:
If x = 60
250 + 1.50x = V
250 + 90 = V
340 = V
100 + 4.00x = S
100 + 240 = S
340 = S
Now that both equations are equivalent, all we need to do to tip the balance and make Val's Veggies cheaper is purchase one more bag of lettuce:
x = 61
250 + 1.50x = V
250 + 91.50 = V
341.50 = V
100 + 4.00x = S
100 + 244 = S
344 = S
Since V represents the price of a bag of lettuce at Val's Veggies and V is now less than S (Sally's Salads), Val's Veggies is now the cheaper option.
Therefore, 61 bags of lettuce must be purchased in order for Val's Veggies to be the cheaper option.
Answer:
x=-6
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number
3x = x^2 -54
Subtract 3x
3x-3x = x^2 -3x-54
0 = x^2 -3x-54
Factor
What 2 numbers multiply to -54 and add to -3
-9*6 = -54
-9+6 = -3
0=(x-9) (x+6)
Using the zero product property
x-9=0 x+6=0
x=9 x=-6
The questions asks for the negative solution
x=-6
S= one length of square 1
S+1 = one length square 2
S+2= one length square 3
Our equation would be
S^2+(S+1)^2+(S+2)^2=365
Idk if it would be called distribute but.. distribute
S^2+S^2+2S+1+S^2+4S+4=365
Add like terms
3S^2+6S-360=0
Divide everything. By 3
S^2+2S-120=0
Factor
(S-10)(S+12)=0
The two solutions are:
S-10=0
S=10
S+12=0
S=-12
Since a length can’t be a negative the only possible solution would be 10
Since a perimeter is all lengths added together we can multiply the length by four to get the perimeter
Square 1
10*4=40
Perimeter is 40cm
Square 2
S+1 =11
11*4=44
Perimeter is 44cm
Square 3
S+2=12
12*4=48
Perimeter is 48cm
Add all the perimeters together to get the total perimeter:
Total perimeter:
40+44+48=132
The total perimeter is 132cm
I hope this helps. Sorry if I messed up anything on here it was kinda hard to keep track of everything. Feel free to ask if you need anything cleared up :)
Answer:
This does not make sense.
Step-by-step explanation:
Just because you are a musician does not mean you play the guitar.
You can play the piano and a trumpet, but not be able to play a guitar!
