Mia is helping her glee club raise money to fund a field trip. The glee club secided to sell pencils, which come in boxes of 100

Nitella [24]

Answer:

m = 2500b

Step-by-step explanation:

As instructed,

let b = number of boxes sold

let m = total money made.

The total money made, is a function of the number of boxes sold.

Let me break this down:

There are 100 pencils in a box;

if they sold only one box, they will get 100 X $25 = $2500;

if they sold two boxes, they will get 200 X $25 = $5000;

if they sold three boxes, they will get 300 X $25 = $7500;

Following the trend, we can deduce that money made, m = (number of boxes sold X 100 ) X $25

representing this using the variables we were given, we have

m = 100b X 25

hence

m = 2500b

At the end of year 1, Boller Co. had an ending balance in allowance for uncollectible accounts of $30,000. During year 2, Boller

Masja [62]

Answer:

$34,000

Step-by-step explanation:

First they had 30,000

Then wrote off 40,000

So balance is 30,000 - 40,000 = -10,000

Now, they want 8% of 300,000 as uncollectible. So that would be

0.08 * 300,000 = 24,000

Thus, to bring the balance to 24,000 [balance is -10,000], how much would they need to add?? Let it be x:

-10,000 + x = 24,000

x = 24,000 + 10,000 = $34,000

Help me on 8 and 9 plz

klasskru [66]

8. first 12 bags for 54m^{2} [/tex]
54 ÷ 12 = 4.5
we know: 1 bag for 4.5m^2
36 ÷ 4.5 = 8
so 36m^2 we must use 8 bags

9. $\frac{5}{8}$ x2 =5x2/8= 10/8 = 5/4 = 1.25

hope it helped you

ALGEBRA QUESTION PLS HELPS

The value of x is –7.

Solution:

Given expression:

$$\left(\frac{1}{x+3}+\frac{6}{x^{2}+4 x+3}\right) \cdot \frac{x+3}{x+1}$

Let us factor $x^2+4x+3$ .

$x^2+4x+3=(x+1)(x+3)$

Substitute this in the fraction.

$$\left(\frac{1}{x+3}+\frac{6}{(x+1)(x+3)}\right) \cdot \frac{x+3}{x+1}$

To make the denominator same, multiply and divide the first term by (x +1).

$$\left(\frac{(x+1)}{(x+1)(x+3)}+\frac{6}{(x+1)(x+3)}\right) \cdot \frac{x+3}{x+1}$

Denominators are same, you can add the fractions.

$$\left(\frac{x+1+6}{(x+1)(x+3)}\right) \cdot \frac{x+3}{x+1}$

$$\frac{x+7}{(x+1)(x+3)} \cdot \frac{x+3}{x+1}$

Cancel the common term in the numerator and denominator.

$$\frac{x+7}{x+1} \cdot \frac{1}{x+1}$

Multiply the fractions.

$$\frac{x+7}{(x+1)^2}$

$$\frac{x+7}{x^2+2x+1}$

The expression is simplified to one rational expression.

Suppose the expression is equal to 0.

$$\frac{x+7}{x^2+2x+1}=0$

Do cross multiplication.

$${x+7}=0\times (}{x^2+2x+1})$

Any number or variable multiplied by 0 gives 0.

$${x+7}=0$

Subtract 7 from both sides of the equation.

$${x+7-7}=0-7$

x = –7

The value of x is –7.

Simplify the expression below. 3x^2 - 5x^2 + 4x^2 <br><br> (Please explain how you get the answer)

Talja [164]

Answer:

The answer is -4x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

-3x^2 - 5x^2 + 4x^2

= -3x^2 + -5x^2 + 4x^2

Combine like terms:

-3x^2 + -5x^2 + 4x^2

(-3x^2 + -5x^2 + 4x^2)

= -4x^2
