You make a necklace with blue, purple, and green beads in a ratio of 1:1:2. Total of 168 beads. How many green beads are there?

If they are in the ratio of 1:1:2 then you have x blue, x purple and 2x green.

x + x + 2x = 168
4x = 168
x = 168 / 4
x = 42

So both blue and purple are 42 and green is 84
Check
42 + 42 + 84 = 168 which checks.

Blue= 1/4
purple= 1/4
green 1/2
168/4 =42
blue= 42 beads. purple= 42 beads. green= 84 beads
there is a total of 84 green beads.

$\huge\text{Hey there!}$

$\rm{-2x + 4 > 8}$

Eight people go to a movie. Adult tickets cost $15 and children's tickets cost $8

Reptile [31]

Answer: number of adults = 3, number of children = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number of adults be x, and the number of children be y.

x + y = 8 , 15x + 8y = 85

1st equation x 8 = 8x + 8y = 64

$8x+8y-15x-8y = 64 - 85\\-7x = -21\\x=3$

substitute x=3

$3+y=8\\y=5$

A window in the shape of a rectangle as shown below has a width of x+5 and a length of x^2- 3x+7 express the area of the rectang

Ksju [112]

Answer:

$x^3+x^2-5x+28$

Step-by-step explanation:

since a=lw, the area is (x^2-3x+7)(x+4)

1. distribute parentheses $\left(x^2-3x+7\right)\left(x+4\right)=x^2x+x^2\cdot \:4+\left(-3x\right)x+\left(-3x\right)\cdot \:4+7x+7\cdot \:4$

2. apply +(-a)=-a rule $x^2x+4x^2-3xx-3\cdot \:4x+7x+7\cdot \:4$

3. Simplify

Steps to simplify:

$x^2x=x^3$

$3xx=3x^2$

$3\cdot \:4x=12x$

$7\cdot \:4=28$

$x^3+4x^2-3x^2-12x+7x+28$

4. Add like terms $=x^3+4x^2-3x^2-5x+28$

5. Add like terms $=x^3+x^2-5x+28$
