The Henderson Hawks minor-league baseball team is giving away baseballs an
game. The balls cost $3 each and the towels cost $2 each. The team wants to give away 200 items and have 500 to spend. How many of each item should the team give away Show your
work or explain your reasoning.
Answer:
They should give away 100 balls and 100 towels
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of balls = x
Let the number of towels = y
x + y = 200........ Equation 1
y = 200 - x
$3 × x + $2 × y = $5000
3x + 2y = 5000...... Equation 2
3x + 2(200 - x)= 5000
3x + 400 - 2x = 5000
Collect like terms
3x - 2x = 500 - 400
x = 100
Number of balls to be given away = 100
Note:
y = 200 - x
y = 200 - 100
y = 100
Number of towels to be given away = 100
Therefore, they should give away 100 balls and 100 towels
We know there is 57 members are in the math club and there is twice as many sixth grades than the seventh. To find out how many sixth graders are in the club, we do:
x = seventh graders
2x = sixth graders
2x + x = 3x
57=3x
57 ÷ 3 = 3x ÷3
19 = x
So there is 19 seventh graders and 19×2= 38 sixth graders
5. y = -3 x - 8
6. y = - 1/2 x + 1
Answer: Base angles theorem
Step-by-step explanation:
J = 14
J = 1/2S + 4 1/2
14 = 1/2S + 9/2....multiply everything by 2 to get rid of fractions
28 = S + 9
28 - 9 = S
19 = S
check...
14 = 1/2S + 9/2......S = 19
14 = 1/2(19) + 9/2
14 = 9 1/2 + 9/2
14 = 19/2+ 9/2
14 = 28/2
14 = 14 (correct)
so the sister is 19 <===
