Answer:
61 bags of lettuce
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's create two equations representing the cost of bags of lettuce:
Val's Veggies: 250 + 1.50x = V
Sally's Salads: 100 + 4.00x = S
If you buy 60 bags of lettuce from either store, the answers will be equivalent:
If x = 60
250 + 1.50x = V
250 + 90 = V
340 = V
100 + 4.00x = S
100 + 240 = S
340 = S
Now that both equations are equivalent, all we need to do to tip the balance and make Val's Veggies cheaper is purchase one more bag of lettuce:
x = 61
250 + 1.50x = V
250 + 91.50 = V
341.50 = V
100 + 4.00x = S
100 + 244 = S
344 = S
Since V represents the price of a bag of lettuce at Val's Veggies and V is now less than S (Sally's Salads), Val's Veggies is now the cheaper option.
Therefore, 61 bags of lettuce must be purchased in order for Val's Veggies to be the cheaper option.
By definition we have that the volume is given by
V = h * w * l
where
V: Volume
h: height
w: width
l: length
Clearing the height we have:
h = V / (w * l)
h = (5 - x) / ((x) * (x - 2))
The expression is not defined for the values of x that make the denominator zero:
((x) * (x - 2)) = 0
x = 0
x = 2
Answer
h = (5 - x) / ((x) * (x - 2))
x = 0
x = 2
Answer: isolate the variable
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplife3^2 to 9
9x-7+2=0
9x-7+2to 9x-5
9x-5=0
add 5 to both sides 9x=5
Divide both sides by 9
x=5/9
