1) A water park charges $5 for entry into the park and an additional $2 for each of the big waterslides. Steven spent $17 on his

visit to the water park. Which equation can be used to find the number of big waterslides, x, that Steven went on?
a.5 + 2x = 17
b.5x + 2 = 17
c. 5x + 2x = 17
d.5 + 2 = 17x


2) The $5 amount is fixed, so there must be a 5 by itslef in the equation.

The amount he paid per waterslide was $2.
He paid for
1 waterslide, 2 * 1
2 waterslides, 2 * 2
3 waterslides, 2 * 3
x waterslides, 2 * x = 2x

Now you need to add the fixed cost of 5 to the cost for x waterslides of 2x and make it equal to what he spent, $17.

Which equation above shows this?

1.) The answer is A. 5+2x = 17. The x in the equation signifies the number of times Steven went to the big slides. The 5 represents the fixed cost of the slide. The total expenditure in the water park is 17 dollars, and the 2 represents the cost of using 1 big slide.

2.) The answer is still letter A. 5 +2x =17.

Jordan builds a miniature catapult for the science fair. He documents how far the catapult can throw a small rock for his report
GrogVix [38]

The rate to convert yards to meters is

1 \text{ yard}=0.9144\text{ meters}

So, if you multiply both sides by 8, you get

8 \text{ yards} = 8\times 0.9144 = 7.3152 \text{ meters}

To round the answer to the nearest tenth, we need to choose between 7.3 and 7.4. Since the hundreths digit is 1, which is less than 5, 7.3 is nearest to 7.3152 than 7.4, so the correct answer is 7.3

Solve the inequality. 4x+6<3x-5 A)x<1 B) x<11 C) x<-1 D)x<-11
klasskru [66]

4x + 6 < 3x - 5 is our given inequality

4x < 3x -11 by subtracting 6 on both sides of the inequality sign

x < -11 by subtracting 3x on both sides.


Thus, x < -11 -- choice D -- is the solution.

Apply the distributive property to create an equivalent expression.<br><br> (6m – 7). 4=
Savatey [412]

Answer: 24m-28

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the distributive property ,

a(b+c) = ab+ac

(b+c)a = ba+ca , where a, b and c are any arbitrary expressions.

Given expression : (6m-7)\cdot4

By using distributive property , we have

(6m - 7)\cdot 4= (6m)(4)-(7)(4)\\\\= (6)(4)(m)-28 \ \ \ [\text{By associative property}]\\\\=24m-28

Hence, the required equivalent expression is 24m-28.

Evaluate 1 plus negative 2/3 minus (-m) where m is 9/2
Mariana [72]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Negative 2/3 means -2/3

Hence;

1 + (-2/3) - (-m)

= 1 - 2/3 + m (positive x negative = negative, negative x negative = positive)

Substituting 9/2 for the value of m

= 1 - 2/3 + 9/2

The L.C.M = 6

= ( 6 - 4 + 27)/6

= 29/6
