(x - 10) × 2
You have to multiply it by 2 so that you get the area
21 sets of nachos =£52.50
56 drinks = £28
= 77 in total =£80.50
Answer:
x=5, y=-3
Step-by-step explanation:
we can find the answer by plugging in x=3y+14 to the second equation
5(3y+14)-2y=31
simplify
15y+70-2y=31
13y=-39
y=-3
now, plug in this to the initial equation x=3y+14
x=3(-3)+14
x=-9+14
x=5
Answer: You should cut out squares that are 4 inches by 4 inches.
One of the ways to do this problem is write and graph an equation. We can write an equation for the volume of this shape and then use a graphing calculator to graph it. If we look where the graph crosses 440, we will have our solution.
The volume needs to be 440. If we let x equal the side of the square that is cut out, we have the following dimensions.
Length = 19 - 2x
Width = 18 - 2x
Height = x
Volume = LWH
So our equation could be: y = (19 - 2x)(18 - 2x)x
If you graph that equation, it will intersect at the point (4, 440). Therefore, our square could be 4 by 4 inches.
