Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Her former rent is $ x
Twice the former rent: 2*x = 2x
$300 less than 2x: 2x - 300
2x - 300 = 550
Add 300 to both sides
2x - 300 + 300 = 550 + 300
2x = 850
Divide both sides by 2
2x/2 = 850/2
x = 425
Her former rent = $425
<span> Given polynomial x^2+8x-48 = 0</span>
<span>x^2+12x-4x-48 = 0</span>
<span>x(x+12)-4(x+12) = 0</span>
<span>(x+12)(x-4) = 0</span>
<span>x+12 = 0</span>
Subtract 12 from each side.
<span>x+12-12 = 0-12</span>
<span>x = -12</span>
<span>and x-4 = 0</span>
Add 4 to each side.
<span>x-4+4 = 0+4</span>
<span>x = 4</span>
<span>Roots are -12,4.</span>
8 pencils = 1 package
28 children need pencils
Each child gets 4 pencils
28x4 = 112 (pencils needed)
112/8 = 14 packages needed.
Answer:
b pick 3 marbles form a bag of 10 different colored marbles
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
252 children and 395 adults
Step-by-step explanation:
Make a linear system of equations, where x represents the number of children and y represents the number of adults
x+y=648
1.50x+2.25y=1269
solve using substitution, so y=648-x,
then substitute this into the second equation, so you get 1.50x+2.25(648-x)=1269,
solve for x and you will get x equals the 252
then substitute this into the first equation, so you get 252+y=648
solve and you will get y=395
