Answer: He played a total of 104 chess games.

Step-by-step explanation:

9:4

72:x

9:4 = 72:x

72 * 4 = 288

288/9 = 32

x = 32

32 + 72 = 104

He played 96 games you can find this by dividing 72 by nine and then getting 8 and multiply 4 by 8 and add it to 72

Given: (a) $2(x+3)=2x+6$ and (b) $4(y-3)=4y-12$ .

To find: The expanded form of the given expressions.

(d) $3(5-q)=15-3q$ (using $a(b-c)=ab-ac$ )

(e) $5(2c+1)=10c+5$ (using $a(b+c)=ab+ac$ )

(f) $3(2x-5)=6x-15$ (using $a(b-c)=ab-ac$ )

(g) $7(4b-1)=28b-7$ (using $a(b-c)=ab-ac$ )

(h) $3(2x+y-5)=3((2x+y)-5)$

⇒ $3(2x+y-5)=3(2x+y)-15$ (using $a(b-c)=ab-ac$ )

⇒ $3(2x+y-5)=6x+3y-15$ (using $a(b+c)=ab+ac$ )

(i) $2(6a-4b+3)=2((6a-4b)+3)$

⇒ $2(6a-4b+3)=2(6a-4b)+6$ (using $a(b+c)=ab+ac$ )

⇒ $2(6a-4b+3)=12a-8b+6$ (using $a(b-c)=ab-ac$ )

(j) $6(m+n+p)=6((m+n)+p)$

⇒ $6(m+n+p)=6(m+n)+6p$ (using $a(b+c)=ab+ac$ )

⇒ $6(m+n+p)=6m+6n+6p$ (using $a(b+c)=ab+ac$ )

(k) $y(y+2)=y^2+2y$ (using $a(b+c)=ab+ac$ )

(l) $g(g-3)=g^2-3g$ (using $a(b-c)=ab-ac$ )

(m) $n(4-n)=4n-n^2$ (using $a(b-c)=ab-ac$ )

(n) $a(b+c)=ab+ac$ (using $a(b+c)=ab+ac$ )

(o) $s(3s-4)=3s^2-4s$ (using $a(b-c)=ab-ac$ )

(p) $2x(x+5)=2x^2+10x$ (using $a(b+c)=ab+ac$ )

(q) $4y(x-3)=4xy-12y$ (using $a(b-c)=ab-ac$ )

(r) $5a(2b-5)=10ab-25a$ (using $a(b-c)=ab-ac$ )

(s) $4a(3b+2c)=12ab+8ac$ (using $a(b+c)=ab+ac$ )

(t) $5p(4p-5q)=20p^2-25pq$ (using $a(b-c)=ab-ac$ )

A shipping carton in the shape of a rectangular prism has a volume of 756 cubic inches the base area of the shipping carton is 4

coldgirl [10]

The answer would be a height o 18 inches. how you figure that is by taking the total cubic inches and divide by the base number which is 42 inches. 756 divided by 42 is 18. and to check your answer multiply. 18 times 42 equals 756.

Assoli18 [71]

The people will there need to be in order for the second company to be less expensive in 1st restaurant.

Always assume the unknowns are variables when attempting to find them, and then construct the equation using the parameters specified in the question.

Admission fee for 1st restaurant = $1

Charge for 1st restaurant per person = $7

Admission fee for 2nd restaurant = $15

The number of employees required for 2nd restaurant need to have in order to be less expensive = x

Total amount needed for 1st restaurant = $1 + $7 = $8

To make the 2nd restaurant less expensive =

As the total amount of 1st restaurant is $8 and the admission fee 2nd restaurant itself is $15 2nd restaurant is more expensive than the 1st one.
