Answer:
D. x=-3/2.
Step-by-step explanation:
4x÷2x=-3
2x=-3
x=-3/2
Answer:
36 meters away
Step-by-step explanation:
If you look at the equation you'll see that Cody is 16 meters away from Brenda and Lara is 20 meters away from Brenda, so if you add those two, you'll get the answer. :)
We define the variables first:
x = number of male cousins
y = number of females cousins
We write the system of equations:
x + y = 9
x = y-2
We solve the system:
Equation 1:
x + y = 9
(y-2) + y = 9
2y-2 = 9
y = 11/2 = 5.5
Equation 2:
x = 5.5-2
x = 3.5
Answer:
Although physically it does not make sense, mathematically the answer is:
number of male cousins = 3.5
number of females cousins = 5.5
Answer:
82 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
It took 3 hours for it to go from 78 to 72.
Which is a rate of -2 degrees per hour
We want to know what the temperature was two hours before it was 78 degrees so we'd do 78 - (-2) which is 82
Answer:
a) 10
b) The $40+5 dollars for every ticket
c) See below
Step-by-step explanation:
a)
1. Let t=number of tickets
2. Writing an equation
Breaking even means that you earn the same amount of money for both.
40 +5t=70+2t
3. Solving the equation
40 +5t=70+2t
5t-2t=70-40
3t=30
t=10
So the answer to a) is 10.
b)
1. Using an equation
We already know that there are 2 equations for this problem. (40+5t, 70+2t)
So, we will substitute 20 for t.
40+5*20=40+100=140
70+2t=70+2*20=110
2. Comparing equations
140>110, so the first offer is better
C)
The owner lets you choose how you get paid because one option will be better for you, as some days you might not sell many tickets (so you will go with the $70+2 tickets), or some days you might sell many tickets (you will choose the $40+5 dollars/ticket).
