Make it 49800/50000 and 50200/50000 and then compare.
Answer:
The volume of the cube is;
Step-by-step explanation:
The parameters of the prism are;
The number of cubes used to fill the prism, n = 70 cubes
The side length of each cube, s = 1/2 unit
The volume of the cube, V = n × s³
∴ Therefore, the volume of the cube, V = 70 × (1/2)³ = = 8.75 cube unit
Answer:
129 points
Step-by-step explanation:
Let L and C represent the scores of Luke and Caleb, respectively.
L = 2C -15 . . . . . Luke scored 15 less than twice the number Caleb did
L +C = 201 . . . . . they scored 201 points altogether
Add twice the second equation to the first:
2(L +C) + (L) = 2(201) + (2C -15)
3L +2C = 387 +2C . . . . simplify
3L = 387 . . . . . . . . . . . . .subtract 2C
L = 387/3 = 129 . . . . . . .divide by 3
Luke scored 129 points.
Answer: Ali would need to drive 350 miles for the two plans to cost the same.
Step-by-step explanation:
This question can be solved by creating two equations using the information supplied in the question and then solving these simultaneously.
Let the cost be C.
Let the number of miles be M.
Let the initial payment be i.
Let the rate per mile driven be R.
Plan 1:
C = i+R×M
C = 70+0.60M ... equation 1
Plan 2:
C = i+R×M
C = 0+0.80M
C = 0.80M ...equation 2
Substituting equation 2 into equation 1:
0.80M = 70+0.60M
0.80-0.60M = 70
0.20M = 70
M = 70/0.20
M = 350 miles
Find the GCF (Greatest Common Factor)
GCF = 3
Factor out the GCF ( Write the GCF first. Then, in parentheses, divide each term by the GCF)
3(3x^2/3 + -12x/3 - 15/3)
Simplify each term in parentheses
3(x^2 - 4x - 5)
Factor x^2 - 4x - 5
<u>3(x - 5)(x + 1)</u>
