Answer:

• Gayle: 14

• Crystal: 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let g represent the number of paperclips Gayle has. Then 42/g is the number Crystal has. The relationship between the two numbers is said to be ...

g - (42/g) = 11

Multiplying by g gives ...

g^2 -42 = 11g

g^2 -11g -42 = 0 . . . . subtract 11 g to put into standard form

To factor this, you are looking for two factors of -42 that sum to -11.

-42 = -42·1 = -21·2 = -14·3 = -7·6

You can see that -14 and 3 sum to -11, so the factoring is ...

(g -14)(g +3) = 0

g = 14 . . . . . . . . . . makes the product zero. (The g=-3 solution is extraneous.)

Gayle has 14 paperclips and Crystal has 3.

A paintball court charges an initial entrance fee plus a fixed price per ball.
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer : The cost of 10 balls will be, 13.5 dollars

Step-by-step explanation :

As we are given the following expression:

P=0.80\times n+5.50

where,

P = total price (in dollars)

n = number of balls used

Given:

n = number of balls used = 10

Now we have to determine the cost of 10 balls.

P=0.80\times n+5.50

P=0.80\times (10)+5.50

P=8+5.50

P=13.5\$

Thus, the cost of 10 balls will be, 13.5 dollars
