It is given that batteries come in a packs of 4. It means in each pack there are 4 batteries.
Joe used 58 batteries . So to find the total number of packets of batteries joe has to open is
Number of batteries used / Total number of batteries in each packet
= 58 / 4
= 14.5
The number of battery can not be in decimal. So we will round the answer to integer. If we round it to 14 it means 14 packets. But in 14 packets there are 14*4 = 56 batteries .
But we know that Joe used 58 batteries. So we will round the final answer to 15.
It means Joe has to open 15 packets of batteries.

14
Step-by-step explanation:
B.) 10x-5 is equivalent to 6x – 5 + x + 3x
Answer:
12 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate the length of a spring with a 2 kg load, compare the displacement of a 1 kg load and adjust accordingly.
When a 1 kg load is suspended from the spring, the spring which is 6 cm stretches to 9 cm. This is 3 cm longer due to the weight. If you attach a weight which is twice as much then the displacement will be twice as much. Instead of stretching an additional 3 cm, it will stretch 2*3 = 6 cm. Add this to the length of the spring and it stretches in total 6 + 6 = 12 cm.
