You can do 15-5=10 and then you have 3 left to subtract. Which means 10-3=7
Answer:
a) 
b) 
c) Yes.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have that:

And we have $10 free of taxes.
Making x= number of tires to buy, then we have that the total cost of tires is:

So, what we pay for taxes is given by:

a) Then, according to the above, we can write down the total cost before the discount as:

b) And the total cost after discounts, is then given by:

c) If the discount is added first, then less tax will be paid because the amount on which it is paid is lower. If the discount is added later, then the taxes will have been taxed on a higher amount, so it does matter whether they are added first or later.
Answer:
The first error that Tomas made was added 6 to both sides of the equation instead of subtracting 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ----> represents the number of pounds of granola
y ----> represents the number of pounds of walnuts
we know that
The linear equation that represent this scenario is
2x+6y=12 -----> equation A
x=3 -----> equation B
substitute equation B in equation A and solve for y
2(3)+6y=12
6+6y=12
Subtract 6 both sides
6+6y-6=12-6
6y=6
Divide by 6 both sides
6y/6=6/6
y=1
so
The number of pounds of walnuts is 1
therefore
The first error that Tomas made was added 6 to both sides of the equation instead of subtracting 6
Answer:
k=0
Step-by-step explanation:
The dimensions of the rectangular pen should be 15 by 20 feet and the maximum area is 1200 square feet.
Let the area be y .
Area = (base) × (height)
Base = 2x
Height = h
Let the area of the rectangular pens be y .
∴ y = 2xh
Perimeter of all the fencing = 4x+3h
∴ 4x+3h = 120
now we solve for h
3h = 120-4x
h = 40 - 4/3 x
Now we will substitute this value in the above first equation:
y = 2xh
or, y = 2x (40 - 4/3 x)
or, y = 80x - 8/3 x²
Now for the maximum area we have to find the first order differentiation of y
now,
dy /dx = 80 - 16/3 x
At dy/dx = 0 we get the value of x for which y is maximum.
80 - 16/3 x = 0
or, - 16/3 x = -80
or, x = 15 feet
Hence height = 40 - 4/3 x = 40 - 20 = 20feet
Maximum area = 2xh = 2×15×40 = 1200 square feet
The dimensions of the rectangular pen should be 15 by 20 feet and the maximum area is 1200 square feet.
