Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So, Vicki wants no left overs whatsoever, which means we have to get all three items to the same number. We first look at 10. We know that 10 will always have a 0 in the one's place, meaning that 8 and 12 have to be multiplied by 5, 10, 15, 20, etc., but they do not need to be multiplied by the same number.

Let's take 8 first. 8 can possibly go up to 40, 80, 120, 160, 200, etc.

Then 12. 12 can possibly go up to 60, 120, 180, 220, 280, etc.

We can see that both numbers have 120 in common, so we shall use that.

We know that we can get 10 to 120 by multiplying 10 by 12, meaning Vicki buys 12 packs of cups.

We know that we can get 12 to 120 by multiplying 12 by 10, meaning Vicki buys 10 packs of plates.

And finally, we know that we can get 8 to 120 by multiplying 8 by 15, meaning Vicki buys 15 packs of utensils.

So, since the question is asking for utensils <em>only,</em> we should say that Vicki buys 15 packs of utensils.

Answer:

<em>x = -10</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

(9/2)(8 - x) + 36 = 102 - (5/2)(3x + 24)

Multiply both sides by 2.

9(8 - x) + 2 * 36 = 2 * 102 - 5(3x + 24)

Distribute on both sides.

72 - 9x + 72 = 204 - 15x - 120

Combine like terms on each side.

144 - 9x = 84 - 15x

Subtract 144 from both sides. Add 15x to both sides.

6x = -60

Divide both sides by 6.

x = -10
