The answer (I believe) Is 6.
bc you do this...
x+(5x-6)+(5x-6)=54
then solve
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To make the problem easier to solve, we will set it up as the equation of the length of time of each class times the number of classes equals the total amount of minutes. However, since we don't know the number of classes, we'll symbolize our two unknowns with two variables.
75x + 45y = 705
(75x + 45y)/15 = 705/15
5x + 3y = 47
y = (47-5x)/3
It looks like we can't simplify the equation any more, so now it is a matter of trial and error. The minimum number of Saturday classes means the maximum number of weekday classes. We first will test for the maximum by assuming there are no Saturday classes, then will work our way up until x is an integer.
If x = 0
(47-5(0))/3 = 47/3 = 15.6666
If x = 1
(47-5(1))/3 = 42/3 = 14
This works. Therefore, the maximum number of weekday classes is 14, or choice b.

Area = 96 square m
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
a)
Let x = number of candy bars sold
Let y = amount of money earned
b)
y = 0.75x
c)
He should work at the car wash.
Step-by-step explanation:
a)
Let x = number of candy bars sold
Let y = amount of money earned
b)
$42.75/57 = $0.75
Each candy bar costs $0.75
We can confirm that by dividing $38.25/51 = $0.75
1 candy bar sells for $0.75
2 candy bars sell for $0.75 * 2
x candy bars sell for 0.75 * x, or simply 0.75x
The equation is y = 0.75x
c)
y = 0.75x
y = 0.75 * 36
y = 27
Larry raised $27 by selling candy bars last year. This year, he can earn more than that by working at the car wash.
He should work at the car wash.
