For this case we have to bake an amount of 702 cookies, which were distributed in boxes of 18 for sale. Selling each box at the same price earned a profit of 136.50 dollars, you want to know the unit cost of each box of cookies.

Let $"x"$ be the number of boxes of cookies:

So, to know the number of boxes we divide 702 cookies among 18:

$x = \frac {702} {18}\\x = 39$

So, we have Tyler sold 39 boxes of cookies

Now, let $"y"$ be the cost of each box of cookies, to know the unit cost or sale price of the cookie boxes, we divided 136.50 dollars among 39 boxes of cookies, then:

$y = \frac {136.50} {39}\\y = 3.5$

Thus, the cost of each box was 3.5 dollars.

Answer:

The cost of a box is 3.5 dollars

Which number line shows the solution set to this inequality? -2x + 9 < x − 9

kotykmax [81]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

-2x + 9 < x − 9

Add 2x to each side

2x-2x + 9 < 2x+x − 9

9 < 3x-9

Add 9 to each side

9+9 < 3x

18 < 3x

Divide each side by 3

18/3 < 3x/3

6 < x
