Answer:
17.7 = 18 (when rounded)
Step-by-step explanation:
160 divided by 9 = the amount of trucks.
Start with an equation.
Nine less... so -9
3 times a number = 3x
Greater than 40 is >40
So put together is 3x-9>40
When solving I imaging the greater than sign as an equal sign. Less confusing.
3x-9=40
3x=49
x>49/3
You do it be dividing the numerator and denominator by the same number, but you have to make sure the divide into whole numbers
OK for this question you need to find out how many more post are needed. If you look at the diagram it shows that one side is 50 feet. Now there are two sides that will need post, because the barn side need no more. Now if there are two side both 50 feet, and you need a post every ten feet. How many posts are needed?
I am doing with Question Number 2
Let the two numbers be 'x' and 'y'.
According to the question, the product of two numbers is 14.
So, xy=14 (Equation 1)
Now, one of the numbers is 3 ½ times the other.
So, 
(Equation 2)
Substituting the value of 'x' from equation 2 in equation 1, we get
So, y= 2 and -2
So, 
and 
x=7 and -7
Numbers are 2,7 and -2,-7.
Sum of numbers 2 and 7 = 9
Sum of numbers -2 and -7 = -9.
