Arianna is packing scented candles and candle holders into gift boxes. She has 84 candles and 48 holders, and each box must cont

ain both items. She puts the same number of candles in each box, and the same number of holders in each box. What is the maximum number of gift boxes Arianna can pack, and how many scented candles and candle holders will each box have?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If she has 84 candles and 48 holders, we can write out the factors of both values as shown

For candles

84 = 2×2×3×7

84 = 12×7

For 48

48 = 2×2×2×2×3

48 = (2×2)×(2×2×3)

48 = 4×12

48 = 12×4

From both factors, we can are that 12 common to both of them. This means that the maximum number of gift boxes Ariana can pack is 12

The other factors will give the amount of scented candles and candle holders that each box will have. This means that each box will have 7scented candles and 4 holders.

Solve the equation: -2/5 n = -30<br> A. n=-75<br> B. n=-12<br> C. n=12<br> D. n=75

OLEGan [10]

Assuming your equation is: -2/5n = -30

-2/5n = -30 <- We get rid of the "/5n" by multiplying each side by 5n
-2 = -30 * 5n
-2 = -150n
-1 = -75n
75n = 1

But this doesn't match up with any of your answers, so if you wouldn't mind giving me the equation again, i'll work it out

What is the justification for each step in the solution of the equation?

Alexandra [31]

For this case we have the following equation:

$\frac{2}{3}x-\frac{1}{3}= 2 (x + 2)\\$

If we multiply both sides of the equation by 3 we get:

$2x-1 = 6 (x + 2)$ ---> Multiplication Property of Equality

Applying the distributive property we have:

$2x-1 = 6x + 12$ ---> Distributive Property

Adding 1 on both sides of equality we have:

$2x-1 + 1 = 6x + 12 + 1\\$

$2x = 6x + 13$ ---> Addition Property of Equality

Subtracting $6x$ on both sides we have:

$-6x + 2x = 6x-6x + 13\\$

$-4x = 13$ ---> Subtraction Property of Equality

Finally, dividing by -4 on both sides we have:

$\frac{-4x}{-4}= \frac{13}{-4}\\$

$x = -\frac{13}{4}$ ---> Division Property of Equality

PLS HELPPPP equation of the line that is parallel to the line y − 3x = 4 and passes through the point (0, −3)

Volgvan

Answer:

y = 3x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Given

y - 3x = 4 ( add 3x to both sides )

y = 3x + 4 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 3

Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus

y = 3x + c

The line crosses the y- axis at (0, - 3 ) ⇒ c = - 3

y = 3x - 3 ← equation in slope- intercept form

More on Areas. Farmer Jones, and his wife, Dr. Jones, both mathematicians, decide to build a fence in their field to keep the sh

Olin [163]

Answer:

Area covered by the fences will be 16.1 unit²

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first parabola is represented by the function f(x) = 6x²

and second parabola by g(x) = x² + 9

point of intersection of the graphs will be determined when f(x) = g(x)

6x² = x² + 9

5x² = 9

x² = 1.8

x = ± 1.34

Now we will find the area between these curves drawn on the graph.

Area = $\int_{-1.34}^{1.34}[f(x)-g(x)]dx=\int_{-1.34}^{1.34}[6x^{2}-(x^{2}+9)]dx$

= $\int_{-1.34}^{1.34}(5x^{2}-9)dx$

= $[\frac{5}{3}x^{3}-9x]_{-1.34}^{1.34}$

= $[\frac{5}{3}(-1.34)^{3}-9(-1.34)-\frac{5}{3}(1.34)^{3}+9(1.34)]$

= $[-4.01+12.06-4.01+12.06]$

= 16.1 unit²

What dose 2+7x=5x+14 equal

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

$x=6$

Step-by-step explanation:

$2+7x=5x+14$

Subtract 2 from both sides:

$2+7x-2=5x+14-2$

$7x=5x+12$

Subtract 5x from both sides:

$7x-5x=5x+12-5x$

$2x=12$

Divide both sides by 2:

$\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{12}{2}$

$x=6$
