Answer:

  • 12 free rentals
  • 41 boxes of popcorn

Step-by-step explanation:

If all of the new members had received free rentals, the cost would have been $53. The cost was actually ($94 -53) = $41 more than that. The additional cost of a box of popcorn is $1, so there must have been 41 boxes of popcorn in the mix of give-aways.

41 boxes of popcorn and 12 free DVD rentals were given away.

_____

<em>Check</em>

Cost of give-aways was $2×41 +$1×12 = $94, as required.

_____

If you like to write equations, you can let a variable represent the number of the highest-cost item (boxes of popcorn). If that is p, then the number of DVD rentals is (53-p) and the total cost is ...

  2p +(53 -p) = 94

  p = 94 -53 = 41 . . . . . . . boxes of popcorn

  (53 -p) = 53 -41 = 12 . . . DVD rentals

Hopefully, you can see the resemblance to the "word solution" above.

Factorise 9w² - 100<br><br><br>​
ohaa [14]

Answer:

9\, w^{2} - 100 = (3\, w - 10) \, (3\, w + 10).

Step-by-step explanation:

Fact:

\begin{aligned} & (a - b)\, (a + b)\\ =\; & a^{2} + a\, b - a\, b - b^{2} \\ =\; & a^{2} - b^{2} \end{aligned}.

In other words, (a^{2} - b^{2}), the difference of two squares in the form a^{2} and b^{2}, could be factorized into (a - b)\, (a + b).

In this question, the expression (9\, w^{2} - 100) is the difference between two terms: 9\, w^{2} and 100.

  • 9\, w^{2} is the square of 3\, w. That is: (3\, w)^{2} = 9\, w^{2}.
  • On the other hand, 10^{2} = 100.

Hence:

9\, w^{2} - 100 = (3\, w)^{2} - (10)^{2}.

Apply the fact that a^{2} - b^{2} = (a - b) \, (a + b) to factorize this expression. (In this case, a = 3\, w whereas b = 10.)

\begin{aligned}& 9\, w^{2} - 100 \\ =\; & (3\, w)^{2} - (10)^{2} \\ = \; & (3\, w - 10)\, (3\, w + 10)\end{aligned}.

Construct parallelogram PQRS<br>with |PQ|=10cm, |ps|=8cm and<br>&lt;QPS = 120​
IgorC [24]

Find sketch of parallelogram attached

Answer and explanation:

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral which is wider than it is long. A parallelogram has two sides parallel to the other. From the above, we are told the parallelogram PQRS has an angle QPS 120, with sides 10cm and 8cm, we use this to sketch the parallelogram

We find that angle QPS is 120 degrees hence angle RSP is 60 degrees since angle on straight line is 60 degrees from 180-120 in angle QPS and alternate angles are equal. Also opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal

Mr. Robinson washed 2/5 of his laundry. His son washed 1/4 of his laundry. Who washed more? How much laundry still need to be wa
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

Mr.Robinson; 27/40 i think.

Step-by-step explanation: To begin solving you have to make both of the denominators the same by multiplying 2/5 by 4 and 1/4 by 5 giving you 8/20 and 5/20. From there i'm pretty sure you just add the two fractions to get 13/40 leaving 27/40 to be washed.
