Answer: Colonel Horseradish has 10 candlesticks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of candle sticks that Colonel Horseradish has.

Mr. Brown has 10 more than two

thirds of the number of candlesticks that Colonel Horseradish has. It means that the number of candlesticks that Mr Brown has is

2x/3 + 10- - - - - - - - -1

Miss Lavender has three times as many as Mrs. Gray, who has 20 fewer than Colonel Horseradish has. The number of candlesticks that Mrs. Gray has is

(2x/3 + 10) - 20 = 2x/3 - 10

It means that the number of candlesticks that Miss Lavender has is

3(2x/3 - 10) = 2x - 10/3 - - - - - -2

If Mr. Brown and Miss Lavender actually have the same number of candlesticks, it means that

2x/3 + 10 = 2x - 10/3

Multiplying both sides of the equation by 3, it becomes

2x + 30 = 6x - 10

6x - 2x = 30 + 10

4x = 40

x = 40/4

x = 10

How do you find the square root of a fraction? For example: what’s the square root of 115/100

Bingel [31]

Answer:

Take the square roots of the numerator and denominator separately.

Explanation:

$y = \sqrt{\frac{115 }{100}}$

$y = \frac{\sqrt{115} }{10}$

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

If your instructor wants a decimal answer, take the square root of the numerator.

$\frac{\sqrt{115} }{10} = \frac{10.72}{10}$

$\frac{\sqrt{115} }{10}$ = 1.072

Answer:

y = -1000x +11000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

(x, y) = (sales price, number sold) = (3, 8000), (6, 5000)

Find:

slope-intercept equation for a line through these points

Solution:

When given two points, it often works well to start with the 2-point form of the equation for a line.

y = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)(x -x1) +y1

Filling in the given points, you have ...

y = (5000 -8000)/(6 -3)/(x -3) +8000

y = (-3000/3)(x -3) +8000

y = -1000x +3000 +8000 . . . . eliminate parentheses

y = -1000x +11000 . . . . the desired equation
