Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of pounds of soap that she makes and eventually sells.

She intially spent $72 to purchase soap-making equipment, and the materials for each pound of soap cost $7. This means that the total cost of making x pounds of soap would be

7x + 72

Lisa sells the soap for $10 per pound. This means that her revenue for x pounds of soap would be

10 × x = 10x

If she eventually sells enough soap to cover the cost of the equipment, then

7x + 72 = 10x

10x - 7x = 72

3x = 72

x = 72/3 = 24

She would need to sell make and sell 24 soaps.

The cost would be

72 + 7 × 24 = $240

The total sales would be

10 × 24 = $240

1. The 2nd number line represents the inequality.

Explanation:

In words, the inequality reads "negative six is less than x, which is less than or equal to two". On the number line, the open circle at negative six means that -6 is not a solution to the inequality: -6 < x. The point at positive two means that positive two is a solution to the inequality: x ≤ 2. Therefore, all numbers greater than -6 and less than or equal to +2 are solutions to the inequality. This is shown on the second number line.

2. False

Explanation:

In words, the inequality reads "x is less than negative five". This means that all numbers less than -5 are solutions to the inequality. Positive four is not less than negative five, so it is not a solution to the inequality.

3. x > 2

Explanation:

To solve the inequality, we have to move all the terms that do not contain x to one side. This inequality is simple because it only requires one step: subtraction.

Solve for x: x + 3 > 5

1. Subtract 3 from both sides to get x by itself:

x + 3 - 3 > 5 - 3

2. Simplify

x > 2

9. A box of cereal is packaged and sold at a local
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

288 Cubic Inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the cereal takes up 80% of the total volume of the box, you would take 80% of the total volume.

First, do Base x Width x Height for the volume of the box.

10 inches x 3 inches x 1 foot      (1 foot is 12 inches)

10 x 3 x 12 = 360

Now, take 80% of 360 cubic inches.

80% is 0.8 times a number

0.8 x 360 = 288

288 Cubic Inches
