Answer:

45 people are members at the tennis club

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of people in the tennis club be denoted as "x".

Since each of them donated $12.45, then total donated = 12.45x

Since they had $50.25 left over after paying the cost of $510 for the ball, then;

12.45x - 510 = 50.25

12.45x = 510 + 50.25

12.45x = 560.25

x = 560.25/12.45

x = 45

A landscaper needs 348 pounds of plant food. He has 114 pounds in his truck, and another 46 pound at his shop.

Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

$\frac{19}{12}\ pounds$

or

$1\frac{7}{12}\ pounds$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The correct question is </em></u>

A landscaper needs 3 4/8 pounds of plant food. He has 1 1/4 pounds in his truck, and another 4/6 pound at his shop. How many more pounds of plant food does the landscaper need?

Let

x ----> the additional pounds of plant food needed for the landscaper

we know that

The additional pounds of plant food needed for the landscaper plus the pounds in his truck plus the pounds in his shop must be equal to the total pounds of plant food needed

so

The linear equation that represent this problem is

$x+1\frac{1}{4}+\frac{4}{6}=3\frac{4}{8}$

Convert mixed number to an improper fractions

$1\frac{1}{4}=1+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{4*1+1}{4}=\frac{5}{4}$

$3\frac{4}{8}=3+\frac{4}{8}=\frac{3*8+4}{8}=\frac{28}{8}=\frac{14}{4}$

Substitute in the expression above

$x+\frac{5}{4}+\frac{4}{6}=\frac{14}{4}$

solve for x

Multiply by (4*6) both sides to remove the fractions

$24x+30+16=84$

Combine like terms left side

$24x+46=84$

subtract 46 both sides

$24x=84-46$

$24x=38$

Divide by 24 both sides

$x=\frac{38}{24}\ pounds$

simplify

$x=\frac{19}{12}\ pounds$

Convert to mixed number

$\frac{19}{12}\ pounds=\frac{12}{12}+\frac{7}{12}=1\frac{7}{12}\ pounds$

Simplify without the absolute value |x+3| ; if x>2

inna [77]

Answer:

$x+3$ if $x>2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall some following basic ideas about absolute value:

$|0|=0$ or I guess $-(0)=0$

$|3|=3$

$|-3|=-(-3)$ or just $3$ but there is a reason why I wrote it the way I did.

You see that the absolute value returned the same value if the value was positive.

You see that the absolute value returned the opposite value if the value was negative.

You can include 0 in either.

Let's look at $|x+3|$ alone for a second.

* $|x+3|=x+3$ if $x+3$ is positive or zero.

When is $x+3$ positive or zero? [greater than or equal to 0]

$x+3\ge 0$

Subtract 3 on both sides

$x\ge -3$

* $|x+3|=-(x+3)$ if $x+3$ is negative or zero.

When is $x+3$ negative or zero? [less or equal to 0]

$x+3\le 0$

Subtract 3 on both sides

$x\le -3$

So looking at the bullet points (the *), $x>2$ fits into the first inequality.

Therefore, $|x+3|=x+3$ .

A football player caught the ball and made a gain of 8 yards on the first play. On the next play the team lost 12 yards. How man

Elza [17]

Draw a number line with 10 positives and 10 negatives. Count from 0 to 8. Now, from 8, count back 12 spots. From that spot, go back to 0, which is their original position. The number you counted there is your answer.
