X is equal to 2 because thirty divide fifteen is two
The answer i got was x=-9
Answer:
78
Step-by-step explanation:
10% = 6
⬇️ x3
30% = 18
⬇️ Add onto 60
60+18=78
Answer: 16
Solution:
1) Use letters to identify the variables:
Number of trumpets: t
Number of clarinets: c
2) Translate each statement into algebraic (mathematical) language.
2.1) Sold a total of 27 used trumpets and clarinets
=> t + c = 27
2.2) Trumpets cost $149 and clarinets cost $99
Total cost of the trumpets: 149t
Total cost of clarinets: 99c
Total cost = 149t + 99c
2.3) Total sales were $3223
=> 149t + 99c = 3223.
3) State the system of equations:
Equation (1) t + c = 27
Equation (2) 149t + 99c = 3223
4) Solve the system of equations:
4.1) Multiply equation 1 by 149:
=> 149t + 149c = 4023
4.2) Subtract the equation (2) from the equation obtained in 4.1
=> 149c - 99c = 4023 - 3223
=> 50c = 800
=> c = 800 / 50 = 16
5) Verify the solution:
From equation (1) t = 27 - 16 = 11
Total cost = 149*11 + 99*16 = 3223
Now you have a verified answer: they sold 16 clarinets
<span>The <u>correct answers</u> are:
x=-3 and x=-8.
Explanation<span>:
We can first write this in standard form, ax</span></span>²<span><span>+bx+c=0. To do this, we will add 11x to both sides:
x</span></span>²<span><span>+24+11x=-11x+11x
x</span></span>²<span><span>+11x+24=0.
Now we can factor this. Look for factors of c, 24, that sum to b, 11. Factors of 24 are:
1 and 24 (sum 25)
2 and 12 (sum 14)
3 and 8 (sum 11)
4 and 6 (sum 10).
The factors we need are 3 and 8, since they sum to 11. This gives us factored form:
(x+3)(x+8)=0.
Using the zero product property, we know that in order to have a product of 0, one or both of the factors must be 0. This means we have:
x+3=0 or x+8=0.
Solving the first equation:
x+3-3=0-3
x=-3.
Solving the second equation:
x+8-8=0-8
x=-8.</span></span>
