Let nails 7/pound=N1
nails 3/pound=N2
let N1=x
N2=6
then total=x+6
7x+6*3=(x+6)*4
7x+18=4x+24
3x=6
x=2
so 2 pounds on Nails costing 7/pound must be added
Answer:
21.25
Step-by-step explanation:
use the Pythagorean theorem, it is given that the shape is a rectangle so all opposite sides are congruent and all angles are right, since we know that the diagonal forms a right triangle we can use the pythagorean theorem
the Pythagorean theorm is a^2+b^2=c^2 where a and b are the legs (in this case the side of the triangle) and c is the hypotenuse which is the longest side in a right triangle
17^2+12.75^2=x^2
x^2=7225/16
now take the square root of both sides and you get -21.25 and 21.25
distance CAN NOT be negative so -21.25 isn't an option
Answer:
Neptune has 2 more than 6 times the number of moons on mars
Explanation:
neptune = 6m+2
mars has 'm' moons
pluto has one more than twice that of mars, = 2m+1
neptune is one less than thrice of pluto
= 3(2m+1) -1
= 6m+3 -1
= 6m+2
Let's say x is the amount of money Kelly saves. We do not know how many weeks she is saving. If she was saving for 2, then the equation would be x=5(2). However, she is saving by w weeks, so the equation is x=5w.
Answer:
x=0.87 or 86.67%
13 prescription claims out of 15 are paid
Step-by-step explanation:
First we organize the data:
prescription claims submitted: 4500
Prescriptions: 3900
The rate of claims paid is calculated using the following formula:
We know that:
Paid = 3900
Total = 4500
So
x=0.87
