Since you've told us that this is an isosceles triangle, we know that the 'legs' have equal length. So we can write
x + 1 = -x + 7
Add 'x' to each side: 2x + 1 = 7
Subtract 1 from each side: 2x = 6
Divide each side by 2 : x = 3
Now, if the length of the base is 3x - 3 ,
that length is
3(3) - 3 = 6 .
For the answer to the question above,
and we are told that there are "four times as many quarters as nickels"
this translates to
q = 4n
0.05n + 0.25q = 2.10
and
q = 4n
are your two equations that could be used to solve this problem
if you would like to know how many nickels and how many quarters there are, plug in q = 4n into the first equation and get
0.05n + 0.25(4n) = 2.10
then I would stop here
because I didn't see the choices. So the answer is 4n
4^12 = 16777216 is the answer.
Answer:
$596
Step-by-step explanation:
So, firstly, let's take all the essential info and put it in bullet points:
- $200 moving fee
- $4 for every pot delivered safley
- $5 each per pot that is lost/broken
Next, what do we know about what's happened to the pots?
- 6 pots are lost
- 12 pots are broken
- 578 pots are supposed to be delivered
Now, we know that there is a moving fee that we will definitely have to pay, no matter what. Let's add that to the side-
200
Now we need to cover broken/lost pots. We can add up 6+12, because it is the exact cost for lost and broken pots. 6+12=18, and now we have to multiply that by 5. 18*5=90.
So, we can subtract that from the total payment.
200-18=182
Lastly, we need to add the total price for all the adequately delivered pots that arrived safely. There are 578 pots, and because 18 were damaged, we need to add that to 578:
578+18=596
So, the total amount you would be paying is $596.
