8 0

Answer:

56 old houses

Step-by-step explanation:

For every 8 old houses there are 5, so there are 3 more.

For this reason, if there are 35 houses, it means that there are 5 times the houses.

So if we multiply 3 by 5 (which is the difference between old and new houses) it would give 21, which when adding it to 35 gives 56

A clothing store has a going-out-of business sale. They are selling pants for $8.99 and shirts for $3.99. You can spend as much

astraxan [27]

Answer:

Let x represents the number of pants and y represents the number of shirts.

As per the statement:

Since, a clothing store are selling pants for $8.99 and shirts for $3.99

then;

total number of Pants cost is, $8.99x and total number of Shirt cost is, $3.99

Also, it is given that: You can spend as much as $60 and want to buy at least two pairs of pants.

then, we have the equation of inequality;

$8.99x + 3.99y \leq 60$ ;......[1] where x, y are natural number.

x-intercept:

Substitute the value y= 0 in [1] and solve for x;

$8.99x + 3.99(0) \leq 60$

$8.99x \leq 60$

Simplify:

$x \leq 6.667$

Since, x is in natural number;

$x \leq 7$

Similarly.

For y-intercept:

Substitute the value x= 0 in [1] and solve for x;

$8.99(0) + 3.99y \leq 60$

$3.99y \leq 60$

Simplify:

$y \leq 15.037$

$y \leq 15$

Therefore, we have

$8.99x + 3.99y \leq 60$ ;

$2\leq x\leq 7$ and $0\leq y\leq 15$
