Answer:

b = 5/12

Step-by-step explanation:

You have the proportion

1/(3b) = 4/5        

Cross multiply to get rid of the fractions...

5 = 12b                now solve for b

5/12 = b                 (divide by 12 on both sides)

Mark bought 12 boxes of paper clips and 10 packages of index cards for a
Nata [24]

Answer:

paper clips = $1.85

index cards = $3.95

Step-by-step explanation:

Mark

12 paper clips = x

10 index cards = y

$61.70 total

Janice

15 paper clips = x

7 index cards = y

$55.40 total

12x + 10y = 61.70

15x + 7y   = 55.40

*** you want to cancel out one of the letters

(12x + 10y = 61.70) * -7

(15x + 7y   = 55.40) * 10

-84x -70y = -431.9

150x + 70y = 554.0

150x + 70y = 554.0

-84x -70y = -431.9

66x + 0 = 122.1

66x = 122.1

x = 122.1 ÷ 66

x = 1.85

plug it back in

15(1.85) + 7y   = 55.40

27.75 + 7y   = 55.40

7y   = 55.40 - 27.75

7y = 27.65

y = 27.65 ÷ 7

y = 3.95

The product of x and the sum of 6 and 8 times the square of x
Kamila [148]

Let's separate this problem into several parts:

1. The product of x

AND

2. The sum of 6 and 8

TIMES

3. The square of x

So translating this word problem into numbers, we have:

x TIMES (6+8) TIMES x²

so that is:

x * 14 * x²

which is:

14x^(2+1) = 14x³
