12c=22
6c=11
c=1 5/6
20c=33
c= 1 13/20
5/6 is about .83
13/20 is .65
12 chocolate bars for $22 is about $1.83 each
20 chocolate bars for $33 is $1.65 each
The 20 chocolate bars for $33 dollars has a better unit rate and is a better buy.
(2x - 5) (5x - 10)
Use FOIL
10x² - 20x - 25x + 50
10x² - 45x + 50
5( 2x² - 9x + 10)
2x -5
x -2
5(2x - 5)(x -2)
make each equal to 0
2x - 5 = 0
x - 2 = 0
2x - 5 = 0 x - 2 = 0
2x - 5 (+5) = 0 x - 2 (+2) = 0 (+2)
2x = 5 x = 2
x = 5/2
x = 5/2 , 2
hope this helps
Hello Bri,
If you are talking about a boundary line on a coordinate plane, the best way to determine which side to shade is to start by selecting a coordinate point (x, y) that is not on the line.
Then, substitute those values into your inequality. Simplify the inequality. If the resulting statement is true, then shade the side with your point. If the resulting statement is false, then shade the other side.
Testing a point like this shows the side of the inequality that is the solution and needs to be shaded.
Good luck!
Let x represent the amount of months she has been saving for.
20x - 60 = 280
Solve for x.
20x - 60 = 280
~Add 60 to both sides
20x - 60 + 60 = 280 + 60
~Simplify
20x = 340
~Divide 20 to both sides
20x/20 = 340/20
~Simplify
x = 17
Therefore, Melanie has saved for 17 months.
Best of Luck!
