Answer:

The number of wreaths Alaina sells is 9 .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

Alaina is selling wreaths and poinsettias for her chorus fundraiser.

Wreaths cost $27 each poinsettia cost $20 each.

If she sold 15 poinsettias and made $543.

Let us assume that the number of wreaths Alaina sells = x

As the number of poinsettias Alaina sells = 15

Than the equation becomes

27x + 15 × 20 = 543

27x + 300 = 543

27x = 543 - 300

27x = 243

$x = \frac{243}{27}$

x = 9

Therefore the number of wreaths Alaina sells is 9 .

Answer:

5. k=−3

6. x=4

7. n=−108

Step-by-step explanation:

5. -14k+29=71

Subtract 29 from both sides

-14k+29-29=71-29

Simplify

-14k=42

Divide both sides by -11

-14k/-14=42/-14

6. -33=19-13x

Subtract 29 from both sides

-14k+29-29=71-29

Simplify

-14k=42

Divide both sides by -14

-14k/-14=42/-14

Simplify

k=-3

7. 8+n/25=-4

Multiply both sides by 25

25(8+n)/25 = 25 (-4)

Simplify

8+n=-100

Subtract 8 from both sides

8+n-8=-100-8

Simplify

n=-108

$\large\underline{\sf{Solution-}}$

<u>Let us assume that:</u>

$\sf \longmapsto x = \sqrt{6 + \sqrt{6 + \sqrt{6 + ... \infty } } }$

We can also write it as:

$\sf \longmapsto x = \sqrt{6 + x }$

Squaring both sides, we get:

$\sf \longmapsto {x}^{2} =6 + x$

$\sf \longmapsto {x}^{2} - x - 6 =0$

By splitting the middle term:

$\sf \longmapsto {x}^{2} - 3x + 2x - 6 =0$

$\sf \longmapsto x(x - 3) + 2(x - 3 ) =0$

$\sf \longmapsto (x+ 2)(x - 3 ) =0$

<u>Therefore:</u>

$\longmapsto\begin{cases} \sf (x+ 2) =0 \\ \sf (x - 3) = 0 \end{cases}$

$\sf \longmapsto x = - 2,3$

<u>But x cannot be negative. </u>

$\sf \longmapsto x = 3$

Therefore, the value of the expression is 3.

$\large\underline{\sf{Verification-}}$

Given:

$\sf\longmapsto x=3$

We can also write it as:

$\sf\longmapsto x = \sqrt{9}$

$\sf\longmapsto x = \sqrt{6+3}$

$\sf\longmapsto x = \sqrt{6 + \sqrt{9}}$

$\sf\longmapsto x = \sqrt{6 + \sqrt{6+3}}$

$\sf\longmapsto x = \sqrt{6 + \sqrt{6+\sqrt{9}}}$

$\sf\longmapsto x = \sqrt{6 + \sqrt{6+\sqrt{6+3}}}$

This pattern will continue.

$\sf\longmapsto x = \sqrt{6 + \sqrt{6+\sqrt{6+...\infty}}}$
