Problem 3: Let x = price of bag of pretzels Let y = price of box of granola bars
We have Lesley's purchase: 4x+2y=13.50
And Landon's: 1x+5y=17.55
We can use the elimination method. Let's negate Landon's purchase by multiplying by -1. -1x-5y=-17.55
We add this four times to Lesley's purchase to eliminate the x variable.
2y-20y=13.50-70.2
-18y=-56.7
y = $3.15 = Price of box of granola bars
Plug back into Landon's purchase to solve for pretzels.
x+5*3.15=17.55
x+15.75=17.55
x = $1.80 = price of bag of pretzels
Problem 4.
Let w = number of wood bats sold
Let m = number of metal bats sold
From sales information we have: w + m = 23
24w+30m=606
Substitution works well here. Solve for w in the first equation, w = 23 - m, and plug this into the second.
24*(23-m)+30m=606
552-24m+30m=606
6m=54
m=9 = number of metal bats sold
Therefore since w = 23-m, w = 23-9 = 14. 14 wooden bats were sold.
Answer:
x<=-1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
An inequality is a mathematical relationship that compares two unequal numbers using the number line
To solve the inequality 2x – 6 ≥ 6(x – 2) + 8
We first simplify both sides of the inequality
2x-6≥6x-12+8
2x-6≥6x-4
Add 6 to both sides
2x≥6x+2
-4x≥2
x≥2/-4
Sign changes when we divide both sides of equation by a negative sign
x<=-1/2
Therefore x is less than or equal to -1/2 on the number line
That would be 6 and 6/8 inches
The answer is D. 5^-2 times 5^4.
