This is parallelogram so
8=2x
X=4
Or
3x=12
So again we will find x=4
Answer:
A. 6
B. 143
C. The words "less than", "equal to", and "no more than"
Step-by-step explanation:
For a, we would want to first make an equation to represent the problem. It appears you've already figured that out though, so lets solve it!
Subtract 56 on both sides.
-6m=-36
Now divide -36 by -6 to isolate m.
m=6
It will take her 6 minutes.
For B, we need to make another equation.
2.95b<450-28
First, we can subtract 28 from the total, because she has already spent $28.
Now our equation is 2.95b<422
Lastly, just divide both sides by 2.95 to isolate b.
Our solution is 143. So she can buy 143 batteries.
Lastly, for 13, we can say that the words "less than", "equal to" and "no more than" can indicate an inequality in a real word problem.
Hope this helps!
Here's a way to do it.
Let 4e +2 = 5n +1 . . . . . . for some integer n
Then e = (5n -1)/4 = n + (n -1)/4
We want (n-1)/4 to be an integer, so let it be integer m.
... m = (n -1)/4
... 4m = n -1
... 4m +1 = n
Substituting this into our expression for e gives
... e = (5(4m+1) -1)/4 = (20m +4)/4 = 5m +1
e = 5m+1 for any integer m
