Answer:

let the number = x

two more than the number = ( x + 2 )  

product of the number and ⅞ = ⅞x

if you add 15 to ( x + 2 ) the result will ⅞x

( x + 2 ) + 15 = ⅞x

8x + 16 +  120 = 7x

x = -136

Phoenix [80]

Answer:

51 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Steve is turning half his backyard into a chicken fan. His backyard is a 24 m x 45 m rectangle. He wants to put a chicken wire fence that stretches diagonally from one corner to the opposite corner. How many meters of fencing will Steve need?

We are to find the meters of fencing for the diagonal.

We solve the question using Pythagoras Theorem

= c² = a² + b²

Where

c = Diagonal

a = Width

b =Length

Diagonal² = Width² + Length ²

Hence:

Diagonal ² = 45² + 24²

Diagonal = √45² + 24²

Diagonal = √(2601)

Diagonal = 51 m

Therefore, the meters of fencing for the diagonal that Steve would be needing = 51 meters

What's bigger 2/3 or 4/5
Eduardwww [97]
The best thing to do is either to find a common denominator or convert them to decimals.
I will find a common denominator.
A common denominator of 3 and 5 is 15.
You multiply the first fraction by 5
2*5= 10
This then becomes 10/15
You then multiply the second by 3.
4*3= 12
Therefore, this becomes 12/15
As the second of these fractions is larger, this means that 4/5 is larger.
The alternative method is to put them into decimals, in which case 2/3= 0.66 and 4/5= 0.8
Hope this helps :)

ziro4ka [17]

<em>Question:</em>

<em>Sal is trying to determine which cell phone and service plan to buy for his mother. The first phone costs $100 and $55 per month for unlimited usage. The second phone costs $150 and $51 per month for unlimited usage. </em>

<em>The inequality that will determine the number of months, x, that are required for the second phone to be less expensive is . </em>

<em>The solution to the inequality is . </em>

<em>Sal’s mother would have to keep the second cell phone plan for at least months in order for it to be less expensive.</em>

Answer:

a. 150 + 51x < 100 + 55x

b. x > 12.5

c. At least 13 months

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

First Phone;

Cost = \$100

Additional = \$55 <em>(monthly)</em>

Second Phone;

Cost = \$150

<em />Additional = \$51<em> (monthly)</em>

<em></em>

Solving (a): The inequality

<em></em>

Represent the number of months with x

The first phone is expressed as:

100 + 55x

The second phone is expressed as:

150 + 51x

For the second to be less expensive that the first, the inequality is:

150 + 51x < 100 + 55x

Solving (b): Inequality Solution

150 + 51x < 100 + 55x

Collect Like Terms

51x-55x

-4x

Solve for x

x > -50/-4

x > 12.5

Solving (c): Interpret the solution in (b)

x > 12.5 implies 13, 14, 15....

Hence, She'll keep the second phone for a period of at least 13 months
