The best way to find out what 7 sweets cost, firstly, you should find out what one sweet would cost. You have 5 sweets, with a total cost of 30p. You should divide 30 by 5, giving you 6p per sweet. To get the cost of 7 sweets, you have to multiply 6p by 7, giving you 42p.
Therefore, the cost of 7 sweets is 42p.
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
20 inches x 26 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
set up an equation: (2x)(x+7)=520
now just solve it
2x^2+14x=520
x^2+7x-260 = 0
factor: (x-13)(x+20)
x = 13 and -20
13 is the only one that works because you can't have a negative side length
13+7=20
13*2=26
lmk if you don't understand how to solve that equation
Answer:
X = 8, y = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
This question is an optimization problem. Two equations are going to be needed here
n = x+y
P = xy
Such that 64 = xy
When we divide through by x we get:
y = 64/x
So that n becomes:
n = x + 64/x
n = x+64x^-1
We take derivative
n' = 1-64x^-2
When n' = 0 then a min|max occurs
0 = 1-64x^-2
Such that:
64/x² = 1
Divide through by x²
64 = x²
x = √64
x = 8
Remember y = 64/x
So,
Y = 64/8
Y = 8.
X = 8, y = 8
Thank you!
We can use trial or error method here...
If we take 4 table, 4*5 = 20 and 4*7 = 28. 20+28 = 48.
20 : 28 = 5 : 7
So, there are 20 boys and 28 girls in a school play and there are 8 girls more than boys.
If you look over tables and try it out, only 4 table works for the given ratio.
