Each roll is 9' long,
length of each roll = 9' * (12"/foot) = 108"
Each ribbon piece = 15", so number of ribbons per roll
=108/15=7 with 3" left over, which is assumed not possible to be joined with other pieces.
Therefore, with 5 rolls, there are 7*5=35 pieces of ribbon, with 5 pieces or 3" left over.
ANSWER
The solution is
<u>EXPLANATION</u>
We have
and
Let us substitute equation (1) in to equation (2). This gives us,
We rewrite this as a quadratic equation as the highest degree is 2.
This implies that
we factor to obtain,
This means,
We substitute this values into any of the above equations, preferably equation (1)
When, ,
When, ,
The solution is
Simply plug in the value for x.
If x is equal to -18, then plug in -18 for x.
Example:
f(x) = 15 + x/5.
f(5) = 15 + 5/5.
Then solve the equation.
A function is just something that receives some value and then barfs a value out. This is an IO relationship. (Input/Output).
