<h3>Answers:</h3><h3>First box = 57.14</h3><h3>Second box = 80</h3>
=============================================
Explanation:
If you save 65%, then you pay the remaining 35%
0.35x is the final price when x is the original price
0.35x = 20 solves to x = 57.14 approximately after dividing both sides by 0.35
57.14 goes in the first box
--------------
This must mean 80 goes in the other box.
Here's the steps on how to get 80
If you save 75% then you pay the remaining 25%
0.25x = 20
x = 20/0.25
x = 80
80 goes in the second box
Answer:
I think it is 90 and 100
Step-by-step explanation:
I used this equation: x is the speed of the slower train
910 = (5x + 10) + 5x
Yes, you made an algebraic error. By multiplying 18 x 4, you messed up on order of operations.
(x+9)(x+2)*4
becomes:
(x^2+11x+18)*4
= 4x^2 + 44x + 72
anyway, this is how I would do this problem:
(x+9)(x+2)(4) = 912
(x+9)(x+2) = 228
x^2 + 11x + 18 = 228
x^2 + 11x - 220 = 0
(x+21)(x-10) = 0
x = -21 or 10
The dimensions can't be negative, so we only use x = 10
The dimensions are then 10+9, 10+2, 4
or 19, 12, 4
S(t) = 3.82 - 0.2t
Step-by-step explanation:
After 7 weeks, the ice is 2.42 meters thick. The ice loses 0.2 meters of thickness per week; this means on the 7th week, it has lost 7(0.2) = 1.4 meters of thickness.
This means the ice started at 2.42+1.4 = 3.82 meters thick.
Our function will start at the original thickness of the ice, 3.82 meters.
Since the ice is losing thickness, we will subtract; it loses at a rate of 0.2 meters per week (t), which gives us 0.2t. This is subtracted from the original, 3.82 meters, giving us
S(t) = 3.82 - 0.2t
