5 feet high
Step-by-step explanation:
A= LxW
Yx4= 20
/4 /4
Y= 5ft
It is 5ft high
Answer: <u>4 pounds</u> of brand X sugar
====================================================
Reason:
n = number of pounds of brand X sugar
5n = cost of buying those n pounds, at $5 per pound
Brand Y costs $2 per pound, and you buy 8 lbs of it, so that's another 2*8 = 16 dollars.
5n+16 = total cost of brand X and brand Y combined
n+8 = total amount of sugar bought, in pounds
3(n+8) = total cost because we buy n+8 pounds at $3 per pound
The 5n+16 and 3(n+8) represent the same total cost.
Set them equal to each other. Solve for n.
5n+16 = 3(n+8)
5n+16 = 3n+24
5n-3n = 24-16
2n = 8
n = 8/2
n = 4 pounds of brand X sugar are needed
-------------
Check:
n = 4
5n = 5*4 = 20 dollars spent on brand X alone
16 dollars spent on brand Y mentioned earlier
20+16 = 36 dollars spent total
n+8 = 4+8 = 12 pounds of both types of sugar brands combined
3*12 = 36 dollars spent on both types of sugar brands
The answer is confirmed.
--------------
Another way to verify:
5n+16 = 3(n+8)
5*4+16 = 3(4+8)
20+16 = 3(12)
36 = 36
The simplified form of the expression [5.5(x+6 1/2)-(x+9 1/3)-(19-x)] is 11x/2 + 89/12
<h3>What is the simplified form of the expression</h3>
Given the expression;
5.5(x+6 1/2) - (x+9 1/3) - (19-x)
First, we convert 6 1/2, 9 1/3 and 5.5 to an improper fraction
6 1/2 = 13/2, 9 1/3 = 28/3 and 5.5 = 11/2
So, we have
(11/2)( x + 13/2 ) - ( x + 28/3 ) - ( 19 - x )
Next, we remove the parentheses
11x/2 + 143/4 - x - 28/3 - 19 + x
11x/2 + 143/4 - 28/3 - 19
11x/2 + 317/12 - 19
11x/2 + 89/12
Therefore, the simplified form of the expression [5.5(x+6 1/2)-(x+9 1/3)-(19-x)] is 11x/2 + 89/12.
