Step 2 :

Trying to factor as a Difference of Squares :

Factoring: 8 x 2-5

Theory : A difference of two perfect squares, A2 - B2 can be factored into (A+B) • (A-B)

Proof : (A+B) • (A-B) =

A2 - AB + BA - B2 =

A2 - AB + AB - B2 =

Callie has a new kitten. They can weigh 3 pounds less than half the weight of Callie‘s cat. Together the cat and kitten weigh 18

gavmur [86]

Answer:

The weight of cat is 14 pounds and the weight of kitten is 4 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Callie has a new kitten. It can weigh 3 pounds less than half the weight of Callie‘s cat. Together the cat and kitten weigh 18 pounds.

Now, to find the weight of each animal:

Let the cat's weight be $x.$

And the kitten weight = $\frac{x}{2} -3$

Total weight of cat and kitten = 18 pounds.

Now, to set an equation to get the weight of each animal:

$(x)+(\frac{x}{2}-3)=18$

$x+\frac{x}{2} -3=18$

$\frac{2x+x-6}{2} =18$

$\frac{3x-6}{2} =18$

Multiplying both sides by 2 we get:

$3x-6=36$

Adding both sides by 6 we get:

$3x=42$

Dividing both sides by 3 we get:

$x=14\ pounds.$

The weight of cat = 14 pounds.

Substituting the value of $x$ to get the kitten's weight:

$\frac{x}{2} -3\\\\=\frac{14}{2}-3\\\\=7-3\\\\=4.$

The kitten's weight = 4 pounds.

Therefore, the weight of cat is 14 pounds and the weight of kitten is 4 pounds.

A man bought 42 stamps, some 13¢ and some 18¢. How many of each kind did he buy if the cost was $6.66?

OverLord2011 [107]

Let's call the 13¢ stamps a and the 18¢ stamps b: a+b = 42 and therefore a= 42-b (formula 1) 0.13a+0.18b= 6.66 In this formula, substitute the value of a according to formula 1: 0.13(42-b)+0.18b= 6.66 Multiply on the left to get rid of the parenthesis: 5.46-0.13b+0.18b= 6.66 Subtract 5.46 from both sides: -0.13b+0.18b= 1.20 Add on the left: 0.05b= 1.20 Divide both sides by 0.05 b= 24 You have 24 18¢ stamps and: 42-24= 18 13¢ stamps Check: (24 x 0.18) + (18 x 0.13)= 6.66 Correct.
