Answer:
- w + b = 13
- 6.5w + 2b = 57.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let w represent the number of gifts wrapped. Let b represent the number of bags prepared.
w + b = 13 . . . . gift bags and gifts wrapped
6.5w +2b = 57.5 . . . . total time spent preparing gifts
_____
Lincoln wrapped 7 gifts and bagged 6.
For this case we have the following system of equations:
Equating both equations we have:
We must find the solutions, for this we factor. We look for two numbers that, when multiplied, result in 4 and when added, result in 5. These numbers are 4 and 1:
Then, the factorized equation is of the form:
Thus, the solutions are:
We look for solutions for the variable "y":
Thus, the system solutions are given by:
ANswer:
If 2 gallons of oil are used a day, than he will need 60 gallons of oil, because 30x2=60. For 60 gallons of oil, you would have to have 12 drums because 60÷5=12. Because there is already 8 drums of oil, there would already be 40 gallons because 8x5=40. If the owner already had 40 gallons of oil, they would only have to get 20 more gallons because 60-40=20. That would be 4 drums because 20÷5=4. The owner would have to order 4 more drums of oil.
This equation is not factor-able, so we can use the quadratic formula.
x=(-11+square root(11^2-4(-12*-3)))/(2*-12)
x=(-11+square root(-23))/(-24)
Since we have the square root of a negative in this equation, there are no real roots for the quadratic.
A is the answer I would say
