Answer:

The cost of each bracelet is: $7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call x the cost of each bracelet.

Then the cost of the 9 bracelets is:

9x

If we know that the cost of the bracelets plus the shipping was $ 72 and the cost of shipping is $ 9.

So

The total cost was:

9x + 9 = 72

Now we solve the equation for the variable x.

9x + 9 = 72

Subtract 9 on both sides of equality

9x + 9-9 = 72-9

9x = 72-9

9x = 63

Divide by 9 on both sides of equality

\frac{9}{9}x = \frac{63}{9}

x = \frac{63}{9}

x = \$7

Answer:

a) Equation: 9x+9 = 72

b) x =7

Step-by-step explanation:

The total cost of 9 bracelets = $72

Shipping charge = $9

a) Define your variable and write an equation that models the cost of each bracelet.

Let x be the cost of one bracelet, the equation will be

9x + 9 = 72

As 9 bracelets were there and the shipping cost was 9 and total cost was 72.

b) Use the equation you have written above determine the cost for each bracelet. Show the algebraic steps that it takes to find the answer.

Now solving the equation to find the value of x that represent cost of each bracelet

9x + 9 = 72

Adding -9 on both sides

9x +9 -9 = 72 -9

9x = 63

Dividing both sides by 9

9x/9 = 63/9

x = 7

The value of x=7 so, the cost of each bracelet is $7

c) Provide your conclusion.

So, each bracelet was of cost $7 and $9 was the shipping charge. so, the total cost is $72.

We would check whether our equation is satisfied.

9x+ 9 = 72

9(7) + 9 = 72

63 + 9 = 72

72 = 72

The equation is satisfied.

Factor: 9x^2 + 15x.
slega [8]

Answer:

3(3x^2 + 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1: find out the greatest common factor (GCF) of the number 9 and 15

ex: 9x^2 + 15x   (3 * 3x^2 + 3 * 5)

step 2: factor out the common term 3

ex: 3 * 3x^2 + 3 * 5   (3 * 3x^2 + 5)

step 3: simplify the equation

3 * 3x^2 + 5   [3(3x^2 + 5)]

The solution to the inequality. Check all that apply <br> 9x &gt;117
AnnyKZ [126]
First you have to divide the 9 on both sides to get x alone. Next you would have to divide 117 and 9. (117÷9=13) . So x>13
