Answer:
• Gayle: 14
• Crystal: 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Let g represent the number of paperclips Gayle has. Then 42/g is the number Crystal has. The relationship between the two numbers is said to be ...
g - (42/g) = 11
Multiplying by g gives ...
g^2 -42 = 11g
g^2 -11g -42 = 0 . . . . subtract 11 g to put into standard form
To factor this, you are looking for two factors of -42 that sum to -11.
-42 = -42·1 = -21·2 = -14·3 = -7·6
You can see that -14 and 3 sum to -11, so the factoring is ...
(g -14)(g +3) = 0
g = 14 . . . . . . . . . . makes the product zero. (The g=-3 solution is extraneous.)
Gayle has 14 paperclips and Crystal has 3.
(72)p = 76
p = 76/72 = 19/18
Answer:
each pair of socks cost $2.49
Step-by-step explanation:
Eric spent $22.00, including sales tax on 2 jerseys and 3 pairs of socks. The jerseys cost $6.75 each and the total sales tax was $1.03. How much did each pair of socks cost?
Solution:
The total money spent was $22.00. 2 jerseys costing $6.75 each was bought, the total tax was $1.03. 3 pairs of socks was bought, Let S represent the cost for each pair of socks. The total money spent is the sum of the money spent on jersey, socks and tax. Hence:
2(6.75) + 3S + 1.03 = 22
13.5 + 3S + 1.03 = 22
14.53 + 3S = 22
3S = 22 - 14.53
3S = 7.47
S = 2.49
Hence each pair of socks cost $2.49
