Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of meters of shirt material that he bought.

Let y represent the number of meters of trouser material that he bought.

For every 3 metres of the shirt material, he buys 2 metres of the trouser material. It means that

2x = 3y

x = 3y/2

shirt material cost him ₹ 50 per metre and trousers material cost him ₹ 90 per metre. It means that the total cost is

50x + 90y

Selling price for the shirt material is

50x + (12/100 × 50x) = 56x

Selling price for the trouser material is

90y + (10/100 × 90y) = 99y

If his total sale is ₹ 36,600, it means that

56x + 99y = 36600- - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 3y/2 into equation 1, it becomes

56(3y/2) + 99y = 36600

Multiplying both sides by 2, it becomes

168y + 198y = 73200

366y = 73200

y = 73200/366

y = 200

x = 3y/2 = 3 × 200/2

x = 300

He bought 200 meters of trouser material

Answer:

Im not 100% sure but I got 1.66667 so therefore I would say about 4:00 maybe? Didn't really understand lmk.

Step-by-step explanation: I added 46, 29, and 25 together which gave me 100 and i put that into minutes which gave me 1.66667 which rounds to 1.70 and so if 60 seconds is 1 hour than 2:00 plus 2 hours is 4. That's what I got out of it.

1-25. Given f(x) =- 2/3x +3 and g(x) = 2x2 - 5, complete parts (a) through (f).

Korolek [52]

Answer:

When f or g are equivalent to a number you are solving for x. For example b, d, e, f. In the equation g(x) =2x2-5 I assumed 2 was a typo. So, if it's incorrect, please use same steps and just adjust the solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

$f(x)=-\frac{2}{3x}+3$

a) $f(3)=-\frac{2}{2(3)} +3$

$=-\frac{1}{3}+3$ $=\frac{-1+6}{3}$ $=\frac{5}{3}$

b) $f(x)=-5$

$-5=-\frac{2}{3x}+3$

$-8=-\frac{2}{3x}$

$-24x=-2$

$x=\frac{1}{12}$

$g(x)=2x-5$

c) $g(-3)=2(-3)-5$

$=-6-5$

$=-11$

d) $g(x)=-7$

$-7=2x-5$

$-2=2x$

$x=-1$

e) $g(x)=8$

$8=2x-5$

$12=2x$

$x=6$

f) $g(x)=9$

$9=2x-5$

$11=2x$

$x=\frac{11}{2}$

PLEASE HELP! I DON'T UNDERSTAND!

Yes, her estimate is reasonable. She has 430 flowers and each bouquet needs 17. If we divide 430 by 17 we get roughly 25.29. So she can make 25 complete bouquets, which is between 20 and 30
