x where x = the total number of pillow cases we can make set them equal to each other and use cross multiplication to solve 2/3 yds 16 yds
pillow case = x 2/3(x) = 16 x = 24 Pillow Cases

What belongs in the box marked with the question mark in the proof? Given: 4x + 1 = 6x - 2, Prove: x = 3/2

Tems11 [23]

We have the following expression:
4x + 1 = 6x - 2
We clear x of the expression.
We pass the variables to the right and the constant terms to the left:
1 + 2 = 6x-4x
We rewrite the expression:
3 = 2x
We passed the 2 to divide:
3/2 = x
Answer:
The value of x is:
x = 3/2

Use the following problem to answer the question below:

Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

m∠ABD = m∠CBE ⇒ by subtracting a common angle from the given angles

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ m∠ABE = m∠CBD

∵ m∠ABD = m∠ABD + m∠DBE

∵ m∠CBD = m∠CBE + m∠EBD

∵ ∠EBD is common angle between them

∴ m∠ABD = m∠CBE

Container a and b hold 11,875 liters of water altogether. Container b holds 2,391 liters more than container a holds. How much w

Viefleur [7K]

Container A holds x liters of water.
Container B holds 2391 liters of water more than container A, so container B holds x+2391 liters of water.
Container A and B hold 11875 liters of water altogether.

$x+x+2391=11875 \\
2x+2391=11875 \\
2x=11875-2391 \\
2x=9484 \\
x=\frac{9484}{2} \\
x=4742$

Container A holds 4742 liters of water.

Slope = (2+2)/(6-3) = 4/3
a)
point slope intercept
y + 2 = 4/3(x - 3)

standard form
y + 2 = 4/3(x - 3)
3y + 6 = 4x - 12
- 4x + 3y = -18 ..........this is standard form

Answer is C
y + 2 = 4/3(x - 3); -4x + 3y = -18

Angelo brought apples and bananas at the fruit stand. He bought 20 pieces of fruit and spent $11.50 apples cost $.50 and bananas

Jlenok [28]

Angelo bought 14 apples and 6 bananas

Solution:

Let "a" be the number of apples bought

Let "b" be the number of bananas bought

Cost of 1 apple = $ 0.50

Cost of 1 banana = $ 0.75

He bought 20 pieces of fruit. Therefore,

number of apples bought + number of bananas bought = 20

a + b = 20 -------- eqn 1

He spent $ 11.50. Therefore, we frame a equation as:

number of apples x Cost of 1 apple + number of bananas x Cost of 1 banana = 11.50

$a \times 0.50 + b \times 0.75 = 11.50$

0.50a + 0.75b = 11.50 ------- eqn 2

Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2

From eqn 1,

a = 20 - b ------ eqn 3

Substitute eqn 3 in eqn 2

0.50(20 - b) + 0.75b = 11.50

10 - 0.5b + 0.75b = 11.50

0.25b = 11.50 - 10

0.25b = 1.5

Divide both sides of equation by 0.25

Substitute b = 6 in eqn 3

a = 20 - 6

Thus he bought 14 apples and 6 bananas
