Answer: 6 pairs of skates.

Use the following information to solve the problem. At Open Skate Night, admission is $3.75 with a membership card and $5.00 without a membership card. Skate rentals are $3.00. The Moores paid $6 more for skate rentals than the Cotters did. Together, the two families paid $30 for skate rentals. How many pairs of skates did the Moores rent?

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Skate rental = $3

Total cost spent by the two families = $30

If the cost spent by the cotters is

$3×x = $3x

Where x is the number of pairs of skates that the cotters rent

The cost spent by the moores can be written as;

$3x + 6

Total cost spent by the two families is

3x + 3x + 6 = 30

6x + 6 = 30

6x = 24

x = 24/6

x = 4

So, the number of pairs of skates that the cotters rent is 4.

The moores spent $6 more than the cotters...

At $3 per pair, $6/$3 = 2

So, the number of pairs of skates that the moores rent is 4+2 = 6

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider Cotters paid "x" dollars:

According to given condition:

Moores paid "x+6" dollars.

Both paid total $30

Hence,

(x) + (x+6) = 30

Solving for x:

2x +6 = 30

    2x = 30-6

    2x = 24

       x = 24/2

       x = 12

So amount paid by Moores  = x +6 = 12+6 = $18

*****To find number of pairs of skates: price of one pair must be given.

Determine whether each sequence is arithmetic. If so, identify the common difference.
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

Options 1 and 4 are arithmetic

Step-by-step explanation:

Arithmetic means that you are adding or subtracting a number in a sequence.

For option 1, we are adding 2 every time.

-3 + 2 = -1   -1 + 2 = 1   1 + 2 = 3

For option 4, we are subtracting 7 every time.

32 - 7 = 25   25 - 7 = 18   18 - 7 = 11

Option 2 is geometric. Geometric means you are multiplying or dividing by a number in a sequence.

2 * 3 = 6   6 * 3 = 18   18 * 3 = 54

Option 3 is actually quadratic. This is similar to a arithmetic, except instead, the amount added to the number is multiplied by 2 every time.

1 + 2 = 3   (2 + 2 = 4)   3 + 4 = 7   (4 + 4 = 8)   7 + 8 = 15

For each problem below put the lettered measures in order for greatest to the least
Len [333]

Angles can be used to estimate the side lengths of a shape.

The letters in order of greatest to least are (a), (b) and (c)

The sum of angles at side (a) is:

a = 30 + 50

a = 80

The sum of angles at side (c) is:

c = 50 + 90

c = 140

The sum of angles at side (b) is:

b = 40 + 90

b = 130

So, we have:

a = 80

b = 130

c = 140

The smaller the base angles, the longer the side.

Hence, the letters in order of greatest to least are (a), (b) and (c)

What is the value of x? -2x + 8 = - 16
umka2103 [35]
Solve the equation
So first we subtract 8 from both sides because we apply the inverse operation.
-2x+8=-16
     -8      -8
Now we apply it and re write the equation
-2x=-24
Now the inverse operation for multiplication is division, so we apply it.
-2x=-24
------------
 -2      -2
We are left with x=8
So our final answer is x=8

Check our work
-2(8)+8=-16

CORRECT ANSWER. :)
