Question:
A grocery store has 120 bottles of spring water in stock. The store orders bottles of spring water in cases of 24. The store wants to order enough cases of spring water so it has more than 500 bottles in stock. Which inequality best models this situation?
A. 24x + 120 > 500
B. 24x - 120 > 500
C. 24x + 500 > 120
D. 24(x+120) > 500
Answer:
Option A. 24x + 120 > 500 is the inequality that best models this situation.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Number of bottles of spring water in the stock = 120
Each case of the spring water bottles contains 24 bottles
The store wants to order enough cases of spring water so that it has over 500 bottles in stock.
So there are already 120 bottles in stock .
The store will order
24x +120 > 500
where x is the number of spring water bottle cases
Answer: The length of the rectangle is 35 in.
The width of the rectangle is 28 in.
_________________________________________________________
Explanation:
_________________________________________________________
The formula for the area, "A", of a rectangle:
Area (A) = length (L) * width (w) ;
that is: " A = L * w " ;
A = 980 in² (given);
ratio of the length to the width is: " 5 : 4 " (given);
→ Find the length (L) and the width (w).
_________________________________________________________
→ 980 in² = (5x) * (4x) ;
in which: " 980 in² " is the area of the triangle;
" 5x" = the length (L) of the rectangle, for which we shall solve;
" 4x" = the width (w) of the rectangle, for which we shall solve.
_______________________________________________________
If we find solve for "x" ; we can solve for "5x" and "4x" (the "length" and the "width", respectively); by plugging in the solved value for "x" ;
_______________________________________________________
→ 980 in² = (5x) * (4x) ;
↔ (5x) * (4x) = 980 in² ;
→ (5x) * (4x) = (5) * (4) * (x) * (x) = 20 * x² = 20x² ;
→ 20x² = 980 ;
Divide each side by "10" ; by canceling out a "0" on each side of the equation:
→ 2x² = 98 ;
Now, divide each side of the equation by "2" ;
→ 2x² / 2 = 98 / 2 ;
to get:
→ x² = 49 ;
Now, take the "positive square root" of each side of the equation; (since a "length or width" cannot be a "negative value") ;
to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; & to solve for "x" ;
→ ⁺√(x²) = √49 ;
to get:
→ x = 7 ;
______________________________________________________
Now, we can solve for the "length" and the "width" ;
→ The length is: "5x" ;
5x = 5(7) = " 35 in " ;
______________________________________________________
→ The width is: "4x" ;
4x = 4(7) = "28 in."
______________________________________________________
Let us check our answer:
→ A = L * w ;
→ 980 in² = ? 35 in. * 28 in. ?? ;
Using a calculator: "35 * 28 = 980" . Yes! ;
____________________________________________________
{ Also note: " in * in = in² " ? Yes! } .

-5^3 • 3c :) im almost 99 percent sure this is correct :)
Answer:
(- 2, - 9 )
Step-by-step explanation:
The axis of symmetry passes through the vertex of the parabola.
Thus the x- coordinate of the vertex is x = - 2
To find y substitute x = - 2 into f(x)
f(- 2) = (- 2)² + 4(- 2) - 5 = 4 - 8 - 5 = - 9
Vertex = (- 2, - 9 )
