Problem 3: Let x = price of bag of pretzels Let y = price of box of granola bars
We have Lesley's purchase: 4x+2y=13.50
And Landon's: 1x+5y=17.55
We can use the elimination method. Let's negate Landon's purchase by multiplying by -1. -1x-5y=-17.55
We add this four times to Lesley's purchase to eliminate the x variable.
2y-20y=13.50-70.2
-18y=-56.7
y = $3.15 = Price of box of granola bars
Plug back into Landon's purchase to solve for pretzels.
x+5*3.15=17.55
x+15.75=17.55
x = $1.80 = price of bag of pretzels
Problem 4.
Let w = number of wood bats sold
Let m = number of metal bats sold
From sales information we have: w + m = 23
24w+30m=606
Substitution works well here. Solve for w in the first equation, w = 23 - m, and plug this into the second.
24*(23-m)+30m=606
552-24m+30m=606
6m=54
m=9 = number of metal bats sold
Therefore since w = 23-m, w = 23-9 = 14. 14 wooden bats were sold.
Answer:
44 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Decreasing the people by a factor of 2 means we have 3 people
The job takes 6* 22 = 132 people hours
When we decrease the people, it will take more hours
132 people hours = 3 people * t hours
Divide each side by 3
132/3 = 3t/3
44 = t
It will take 44 hours
You want to solve for x so add 18 from both sides of the equal sign. making it 3x=12. then divide both sides by 3 making x=4. x is 4.
Answer:
37
Step-by-step explanation:
tan(theta)=perpendicular/base
tan(theta)=3/4
theta=arctan(3/4)=37
Answer:
c) x = 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Given equation: 7x - 9 = 28 + 4(x - 1)
<u><em>Steps:</em></u>
1. Distribute 4 through the parentheses:
7x - 9 = 28 + 4(x) + 4(-1)
7x - 9 = 28 + 4x - 4 [simplify]
7x - 9 = 24 + 4x
2. Subtract 4x from both sides:
7x - 4x - 9 = 24 + 4x - 4x
3x - 9 = 24
3. Add 9 to both sides:
3x - 9 + 9 = 24 + 9
3x = 33
4. Divide both sides by 3:
3x ÷ 3 = 33 ÷ 3
x = 11
5. Check your work:
7x - 9 = 28 + 4(x - 1) [substitute 11 for x]
7(11) - 9 = 28 + 4(11 - 1) [simplify]
77 - 9 = 28 + 4(10) [simplify]
68 = 28 + 40 [add]
68 = 68 ✔
