Answer:

213 books

Step-by-step explanation:

Paper books = $1.45 each

$ 1.45 = 1 paper book

$ 1 = 1/1.45 paper book

$98.6 = 98.6/1.45 paper books

$ 98.6 = 68 paper books

Hardback books = $ 2.25 each

$2.25 = 1 Hardbook

$1 = 1/2.25 hardbook

$ 328.10 = 328.10/2.25 hardbooks

$ 328.10 = 145.822 hard books

Number of books cannot be a decimal number, so the value has to be estimated to a nearer whole number.

$ 328.10 = 145 hard books

Total number of books bought = (145 + 68)books= 213 books (Answer)

Translate the sentence into an inequality.
Leto [7]

5b + 29 ≤ -25 is the translation of the phrase "the sum of a number times 5 and 29 is at most -25"

<h3>How to translate an English phrase into an algebraic equation?</h3>

Given the phrase in the question;

The sum of a number times 5 and 29 is at most -25.

First, we translate;

Let the unknown number represented by b.

  • A number times 5 ⇒ b × 5 ⇒ 5b
  • Sum ⇒ 5b + 29
  • Inequality sign for at most -25 ⇒ less than or equal to ⇒ ≤ -25

Now we combine the terms;

5b + 29 ≤ -25

We can go and solve for the unknown number.

5b + 29 ≤ -25

Subtract 29 from both sides

5b + 29 - 29 ≤ -25 - 29

5b ≤ -25 - 29

5b ≤ -54

b ≤ -54/5

Therefore, the translation of the phrase is 5b + 29 ≤ -25.

Can 12m, 35m and 37m make a right triangle
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

YES

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:

If this is a right triangle we can then substitute the sides of the triangle (12 and 35) and the hypotenuse (37) into the Pythagoras Theorem and the two sides of the equation will be equal. If this is not a right triangle the two sides of the equation will not be equal.

The Pythagoras Theorem is
