Answer:

Javier rode bike 34 minutes before lunch.


Step-by-step explanation:


Let the number of minutes Javier rode the bike after lunch be = x minutes


Then according to question number of minutes he rode the bike after lunch

= 5x-1


Total number of minutes he rode bike = 41 min

Therefore,

x+5x-1 =41


On solving


6x= 41+1 =42


Divide both side by 6 we get

x= 7


Number of minutes he ride before lunch

= 5(7)-1 = 35-1=34 min

lbvjy [14]
If we assume the number of polo shirts have been sold is x, the number of casual shirts have been sold will be 4x.
x*18+4x*9=$1080
(18+36)x=$1080
54x=$1080
x=20

The number of casual shirts have been sold is 4*20=80

Reggie has a rectangular piece of paper that is 12 inches long and 7 inches wide. He is going to cut the paper from corner to co
neonofarm [45]

A property from geometry states that rectangles have congruent opposite sides. Thus, no matter which diagonal Reggie cuts, it still has the same lengths. Since it's a rectangle and we cut from corner to corner, we create a right triangle. See the picture below:

<u>___________12 inches_______</u>

7 |

i |

n |

Because it's a rectangle, it won't matter which corner we cut. But if we fold at the cut lines, we would make an in the rectangle's center.

The cut line and two sides make a right triangle. One leg is 12, one leg is 7, and we need to find the third side. The Pythagorean Theorem - sum of the squares of the legs equals the square of the hypotenuse - is applied.

Let S = the length of the side from corner to corner

S² = 12² + 7²

S² = 144 + 49

S² = 193

S = √193 or -√193

Because we are dealing with lengths, we only want positive numbers. -√193 is not used. Thus S = √193

S = √193 = 13.8924439894

S = 18.92 (rounded to two places)


Thus, Reggie will cut 18.92 inches of paper.

Y= 9x -9 y= 9 substitution method
Aneli [31]
You would plug in the y=9 into the first equation and then have the expression 9=9x-9
. After going through the first steps of solving an expression you would get 18=9x. X=2. Then you would plug in the x value into the first expression to get y=9.

How to find two different ways to find the new value after the original value is increased by 30%
maria [59]

The new value after the original value is increased by 30% is 1.3 times the original value.

<h3>Percentage</h3>

Percentage is used to express a fraction number or decimal in fraction of hundred. It is given by:

Percentage = [(new value - original value) / original value] * 100%

Let x represent the new value and y represent the original value, hence:

30% = [(x - y)/y] * 100%

0.3 = (x - y)/y

x - y = 0.3y

x = 1.3y

The new value after the original value is increased by 30% is 1.3 times the original value.
