Answer:

162 caps.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of caps.

We have been given that cost of one cap is $6, so cost of x caps will be equal to 6x.

We are also told that the company charges an amount of $25 for shipping, so total cost of buying x caps will be equal to the cost of x caps plus shipping charges (6x+25).

Since Laura has a budget of $1,000, so cost of x caps will be less than or equal to 1,000. We can represent this information in an equation as:

6x+25\leq 1,000

Now let us solve for x.

6x+25-25\leq 1,000-25

6x\leq 975

Let us divide both sides of our inequality by 6.

\frac{6x}{6}\leq \frac{975}{6}

x\leq 162.5

Since we can not buy 0.5 of a cap, so the greatest number of caps Laura can buy is 162 caps.

$1000 -$25 = $975
975 / 6 = 162.5

A math class is having a discussion on how to determine if the expressions 4x-x+5 and 8-3x-3 are equivalent using
Mkey [24]

Answer:

  Both expressions should be evaluated with two different values. If for each substituted value, the final values of the expressions are the same, then the two expressions must be equivalent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Both expressions are linear expressions. It takes 2 points to define a line. If the lines defined by each expression go through the same two points, then the expressions are equivalent.

If the expressions have the same value for two different variable values, they are equivalent. (choice D)

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

One more point is needed than the degree of the polynomial expression. That is, quadratic (degree 2) expressions will be equivalent if they go through the same 2+1 = 3 points.

The recipe says he needs 450 grams of rice for 6 people
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

1.35kg

Step-by-step explanation:

450g : 6 people

x : 18 people

To get from 6 to 18, multiply by 3 so do the same to the other side

450 × 3 = 1350g

To convert from g to kg divide by 1000

1350 ÷ 1000 = 1.35kg

<h3>Answer:  19 dimes</h3>

=================================================

Work Shown:

d = number of dimes

q = 32-d = number of quarters

$5.15 = 515 cents

10d+25q = 515

10d+25(32-d) = 515

10d+800-25d = 515

-15d+800 = 515

-15d = 515-800

-15d = -285

d = -285/(-15)

d = 19

There are 19 dimes. You can stop here if you want.

q = 32-d = 32-19 = 13

There are 13 quarters

-------------------------------

Check:

1 dime = 10 cents

19 dimes = 19*10 = 190 cents

1 quarter = 25 cents

13 quarters = 13*25 = 325 cents

total value = 190 cents + 325 cents = 515 cents = $5.15

The answer is confirmed.
