Answer: Cost of a giant cookies = $1.39
Cost of a cake= $6.95
Cost of a pie= $4.95
Step-by-step explanation:
Let price of a giant cookie = x
Then,
price of a cake = 5x
Price of a pie = 5x-2
Cost of 30 cakes, 40 pies, and 200 giant cookies = 30 (5x)+40(5x-2)+200x
= 150x+200x-80+200x [By distributive property a(b+c)=ab+ac]
= 550x-80
Given cost = $684.50
Cost of a giant cookies = $1.39
Cost of a cake = 5 x $1.39 = $6.95
Cost of a pie = $6.95 - $2 = $4.95
Answer:
a) x > − 24
b) x < − 3
c) q < 56
Step-by-step explanation:
a) −2/5x−9<9/10
<=> 2/5x + 9 > − 9/10
<=> 2/5x > − 9/10 − 9
<=> 2×2/2×5x > − 9/10 − 9×10/10
<=> 4/10x > − 99/10
<=> x > − 99/4
<=> x > − 24
b) 4x+6<−6
<=> 4x < − 6 − 6
<=> 4x < − 12
<=> x < − 12/4
<=> x < − 3
c) q+12−2(q−22)>0
<=> q+12−2q −2×(−22)>0
<=> (q−2q) + (12+ 44) >0
<=> −q + 56 >0
<=> q < 56
The product would expand to
This is a trinomial, and the only way to make it a binomial is to cancel out a coefficient using our variable .
So, we can cancel either the linear term or the constant term.
In the first case, we require
In the second case, we require
But must be a non-zero rational number, so this solution is not feasible.
