Answer:

Total tea bags in the box could be any of these:  71 , 57, 61, 47

Step-by-step explanation:

from the question given a tea bag can make either two or three cups of tea

A) Anastasia made 57 cups of tea

there are two possibilities is either she made 2 cups per bag or 3 cups par bag

i) when she makes two cups of tea per bag : number of teabag used = 57/2 = 28.5 ≈ 29 bags

ii) when she makes three cups per bag : number of teabags used = 57 / 3 = 19 bags

B) Elizabeth made 83 cups of tea

iii) if she makes two cups per bag = 83 / 2 = 41.5 ≈ 42

iv) if she makes three cups per bag = 83 / 3 = 27.66 ≈ 28

probable amount of teabags in the box

= i +iii , i + iv , ii + iii , ii + iv

= ( 29 + 42 ) , ( 29 +28 ), ( 19 + 42 ), ( 19 + 28 )

= 71 , 57, 61, 47

Answer:

Between 47 and 70

Step-by-step explanation:

Together, Anastasia and Elizabeth made 57 + 83 = 140 cups of tea. If each tea bag can make two to three cups of tea, there could be between 47 [140 ÷ 3 = 46.667 ≈ 47] and 70 [140 ÷ 2 = 70] tea bags in the box.

What equation results from completing the squre and then factoring x^2+10=15
nlexa [21]

For this case we must complete squares:

x ^ 2 + 10x = 15

We add the square of half the coefficient of the term "x",

(\frac {b} {2a}) ^ 2 on both sides of the equation:

x^2+10x+(\frac {10} {2 (1)}) ^ 2 = 25 + 15\\x ^ 2 + 10x + 5 ^ 2 = 25 + 15

According to the perfect square trinomial we have:

(a + b) ^ 2 = a ^2 + 2ab + b ^ 2

Rewriting the expression we have:

a = x\\b = 5\\(x + 5) ^ 2 = 25 + 15\\(x + 5) ^ 2 = 40

ANswer:

(x + 5) ^ 2 = 40

8x-19 = -12x+61 What is x?
olasank [31]

Answer:

x is 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one: Add 12x to both sides-

8x-19+12x=-12x+61+12x

20x-19=61

Step 2: add 19 to both sides

20x -19+19=61+19

20x=80

Step 3: divide both sides by 20

20x/20=80/20

x=4
