Answer:
18 cups.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that Bernie spends $6.50 on ingredients and cups for his lemonade stand. He charges $1.50 for each cup of lemonade. Inequality that represents this situation: 
.
To find number of cups x to make a profit of at least $20 we will use our given inequality.
Therefore, in order to make a profit of at least $20 Bernie need to sell 18 cups of lemonade.
Answer: The fraction x = 1/2 or its equivalent decimal form x = 0.5
================================================
Work Shown:
AE = 2*(BD)
4x+8 = 2*(4x+3)
4x+8 = 8x+6
8-6 = 8x-4x
2 = 4x
4x = 2
x = 2/4
x = 1/2
x = 0.5
note: the first equation is set up basically saying that AE is twice that of BD; put another way, BD is half as long as AE. This is one property of midsegments. Another property is that AE and BD are parallel.
another note: if x = 0.5, then AE = 4*x+8 = 4*0.5+8 = 10 while BD = 4*x+3 = 4*0.5+3 = 5, showing that AE is indeed two times longer than BD.
Since we can add a number to a tens number easily, we make one of the addends a tens number when solving an addition problem.
Example 1:
Add 9 and 6.
9 + 6 = 9 + (1 + 5)
= (9 + 1) + 5
= 10 + 5 = 15
Note that adding 10 and 5 is much easier than adding 9 and 6.
Example 2:
Add 18 and 16.
18 + 16 = 18 + (2 + 14)
= (18 + 2) + 14
= 20 + 14 = 34
Note that adding 20 and 14 is much easier than adding 18 and 16.
Im assuming that it adds interest per month
9=1%
15.75=1.75%
15.75 x 36 = answer
