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.

Find the value of x<br><br>urgent!! plz help me! will give the brainliest​
Anarel [89]

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{1}{2} (x - 1) - \frac{1}{6} (x+1) = 0

In an equation our aim is to find the value of what we are looking for as well as keeping the equation balanced. For example if we divided by 2  only from one side then the equation would change so it's an important rule to keep in mind when solving equations, that you need to keep both sides of the equation the same.

\frac{1}{2} (x - 1) - \frac{1}{6} (x+1) = 0

→ Expand the brackets

\frac{1}{2} x- \frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{6}x -\frac{1}{6} =0

→ Multiply everything by 12 to make solving the equation easier

6x - 6 - 2x - 2 = 0

→ Simplify equation

4x - 8 = 0

→ Add 8 to both sides to isolate 4x

4x = 8

→ Divide by 4 on both sides to isolate x

x = 2

⇒ We can substitute x = 2 back into the equation to see if the solution is correct, if we get 0 on both sides then x = 2 is correct

\frac{1}{2} (x - 1) - \frac{1}{6} (x+1) = 0

⇒ Substitute in the values

\frac{1}{2} (2-1)-\frac{1}{6} (2+1) = 0

⇒ Simplify

\frac{1}{2} (1)-\frac{1}{6} (3) = 0

⇒ Simplify further

\frac{1}{2} -\frac{1}{2} =0

0 = 0

The solution x = 2 is correct

A school bus has 25 seats, with 5 rows of 5 seats. 15 students from the first grade and 5 students from the second grade travel
kow [346]

Answer:

5P5×20P15

Step-by-step explanation:

A school bus has 25 seats, with 5 rows of 5 seats.

15 students from the first grade and 5 students from the second grade travel in the bus.

second-grade students occupy the first row.

The 5 students of second grade are to be seated in 5 seats,this can be done in:

5P5 ways where P is the permutation

Now 15 students from first grade are to be arranged in remaining 20 seats

This can be done in:

20P15 ways

Hence, total ways student can be seated is:

5P5×20P15

Solving special systems<br> {y=1/2x+4<br> {-1/2x+y=-5
ryzh [129]

Answer:

no solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

y = \frac{1}{2} x + 4 → (1)

- \frac{1}{2} x + y = - 5 → (2)

Substitute y = \frac{1}{2} x + 4 into (2)

- \frac{1}{2} x + \frac{1}{2} x + 4 = - 5 , that is

4 = - 5 ← not possible

This indicates the system has no solution
