Answer:
- 45 regular keyboards
- 15 wireless keyboards
Step-by-step explanation:
A set of 3 regular and 1 wireless keyboard would sell for ...
3×$83 +110 = $359
For the given sales, the number of sets sold was ...
$5385/($359/set) = 15 sets
Since there are 3 regular keyboards in each set, there were 3×15 = 45 regular keyboards sold. The number of each type of keyboards sold is ...
45 regular keyboards and 15 wireless keyboards

<em>Comment on this solution</em>
When a problem statement tells you the ratio of one kind of item to another, it is often convenient to group the items in that ratio and deal with the groups. Sometimes, there will be a few missing or left over, for example "10 more than 3 times as many." In those cases, you can make an adjustment to the total and still deal with the groups. (Any equations you might write will effectively do this same thing.)
Answer:
1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Mrs. Lincoln has 15 girls and 10 boys in her homeroom. She randomly selects two students. The total number of students is 25.
The probability of choosing one girl is:
15 / 25 = 3 / 5
Now, 24 students are left.
The probability of choosing one boy is:
10 / 24 = 5 / 12
Therefore, the probability of choosing one girl and one boy is:
3 / 5 * 5 / 12
= 3 / 12
= 1/4
So to help with the first one
2 / x = 5
multiply the x on both sides
2 = 5x
divide by 5 to isolate the x
2/5 = x
For the second one
We will use the diamond to help us find the common factor

2 / \ 4

1) the product
2) and 4) the two numbers
and 3) is sum
10 is the product and -7 is the sum
so what two numbers (factors of 10)
will equal -7 when added
so we have these numbers that will equal the product of +10 and we will need to find the ones that will equal -7 as the sum
10*1, 2*5, -1*-10, -2*-5
if we add the two numbers we will find respectively
11, 7, -11, -7
As you can see that -2 + -5 = +10 and -2+-5= +10
So we have found the two numbers
now before we factor the expression looks like
( x + a) (x + b)
and when factored looks like
x^2 + (a+b)x + (a*b)
Now we can plug in the numbers and solve to see if -2 and -5 are right
(x + -2) (x + -5)
we will factor it
x^2 +-5x + -2x + 10
x^2 + -7x + 10
so a = -2 and b = -5
Hope this helps :)
4.5/3= 1.5*4
