Answer:
64 cups of flour
Step-by-step explanation:
Each crust uses 4 cups of flour.
So, 16 crusts uses 64 cups of flour. (16x4)
To solve the problem, substitute the given points for x in the given equation to get
Solving the three equations simultaneously, we have:
a = -3, b = 2 and c = -5
Therefore, the required equation is
Area=legnth times width
width=2/3 legnth
w=2/3l
a=lw
subsitute
a=l(2/3l)
a=864
864=2/3l^2
multiply both sides by 3/2 to clear fraction
2592/2=l^2
1296=l^2
square root both sides
36=legnth
width=2/3 legnth
width=2/3 times 36
width=72/3=24
legnth =36 feet
width=24 feet
2/7 = x/10
cross multiply:
10 * 2 = 20
7 * x = 7x
7x = 20
x = 2.857
Answer:
20
Step-by-step explanation:
The first equation is 50 - 2x (because you start with $50 and subtract 2 for each 30 day period)
The second equation is 40-1.5x
Set them equal to each other: 50 - 2x = 40 - 1.5x
Solve for x:
50 - 2x = 40 - 1.5 x
+2x +2x
-----------------------
50 = 40 + 0.5 x
-40 -40
-------------------
10 = 0.5 x
20 = x
So there will be 20 30-day periods until the cards will be equal in value.
Check: After 20 periods, 50 - 2(20) = $10 left
40 - 1.5(20) = also $10 left
