Answer:

Boxes sold first week = 104

Boxes sold second week =x+5= 104+5=109

Boxes sold third  week = 109 times 2= 218

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of boxes sold in first week

the girls sold 5 more boxes the second week

So number of boxes sold in second week is x+5

they double the sales of the second week for the third week

So number of boxes sold in third week is 2 (x+5)

Total boxes sold is 431

x+x+5+2(x+5)=431

x+x+5+2x+10=431

4x+15=431

subtract 15 from both sides

4x=416

divide by 4 on both sides

x=104

Boxes sold first week = 104

Boxes sold second week =x+5= 104+5=109

Boxes sold third  week = 104 times 2= 218

Which expressions simplify to a rational answer? Select each correct answer. 29√⋅4√ 3√⋅16−−√ 73⋅−√3√ 5√⋅5√
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

The correct options are 1, 3 and 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the expressions whose simplified form is a rational number.

Rational number: If a number is defined in the form of p/q where p and q are integers and q≠0, then it is called a rational number.

For example: 0,2, 4.3 etc.

Irrational number: If a number can not defined in the form of p/q, where p and q are integers and q≠0, then it is called an irrational number.

First expression is

2\sqrt{9}\cdot \sqrt{4}=2(3)\cdot (2)\Rightarrow 6\cdot 2=12

12 is a rational number.

Second expression is

\sqrt{3}\cdot \sqrt{16}=\sqrt{3}\cdot 4\Rightarrow 4\sqrt{3}

4\sqrt{3} is an irrational number.

Third expression is

7\sqrt{3}\cdot \sqrt{3}\Rightarrow 7\cdot 3=21

21 is a rational number.

Fourth expression is

\sqrt{5}\cdot \sqrt{5}=5

5 is a rational number.

Therefore, the correct options are 1, 3 and 4.
