Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of games that Ronald bowled.

He went for bowling with his friends and paid $9 to rent shoes, but has a coupon for $3 dollars off the shoes. It means that the amount he paid to rent the shoes is

9 - 3 = $6

He paid $9.50 for each game of bowling. It means that the total amount she would pay for x games is

9.5x + 6

If she spent a total of $84, it means that

9.5x + 6 = 84

9.5x = 84 - 6

9.5x = 78

x = 78/9.5

x = 8.2

Since the number of games cannot be a fraction, then

Ronald bowled 8 games

A metallurgist has one alloy containing 26% copper and another containing 69% copper. How many pounds of each alloy must he use
zaharov [31]

The pounds of alloy that contains 26% copper that would be used is  23.42 pounds.

The pounds of alloy that contains 69% copper that would be used is 29.58 pounds.

<h3>What are the linear equations that represent the question</h3>

0.26a + 0.69b = (53 x 0.5)

0.26a + 0.69b = 26.50 equation 1

a + b = 53 equation 2

Where:

  • a =pounds of alloy that contains 26% copper
  • b = pounds of alloy that contains 69% copper

<h3>How many pounds of each alloy should be in the third alloy?</h3>

Multiply equation 2 by 0.26

0.26a + 0.26b = 13.78 equation 3

Subtract equation 3 from equation 2

12.72 = 0.43b

b = 12.72 / 0.43

b = 29.58 pounds

a = 53 - 29.58 = 23.42 pounds

City planners are planning to build a new community park. They agree that the park will be rectangular in shape, but the propose
podryga [215]

Answer:

  (c)  714.96 = 21.6(w +4.7)

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the rectangular park will be the product of its length and width. This relation is used to write an equation to find the original width of the park.

<h3>Width</h3>

Let w represent the original width of the park in meters. The new width is 4.7 meters more, so is represented by (w +4.7).

<h3>Other dimensions</h3>

The length of the park is given as 21.6 meters. The area is given as 714.96 square meters.

<h3>Area formula</h3>

The various dimensions of the park are related by the area formula:

  A = LW

  714.96 = 21.6(w +4.7)

How do you grow your own equations
natita [175]
You can formulate your own equations by analyzing the given problem and its statements. You can do some illustrations so you can understand it better. Introduce some variables and the rest is algebra. For example:

An orange costs $2 while a banana costs $1.5. How many oranges and bananas do you have to buy such that the total cost would equal to $20. You bought a total of 12 fruits.

First, you have to introduce variables. Let 'x' be the number of oranges and 'y' be the number of bananas. One equation you can get from here is knowing the amount of total cost: 2x + 1.5y = 20. Then, the other equation would be knowing the amount of fruits: x+y=12. You have two unknowns and two equations. Hence, you can solve the problem. Solving them simultaneously, you would get that x=4 and y=8.
