The value of x at equal total cost is 266.67
Here, we want to solve the equation to get the x-value that shows the total costs for the two companies are equal
We proceed as follows;
Answer:
The length of the pencils is 4.1 inches and for the crayons 1.5 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve by means of a 2x2 system of equations, we have to:
let "x" be the length of the pencils
let "y" be the length of the crayons
4 * x + 3 * y = 20.9
5 * x + 4 * y = 26.5 => x = (26.5 - 4 * y) / 5
Replacing:
4 * (26.5 - 4 * y) / 5 + 3 * y = 20.9
21.2 - 3.2 * y + 3 * y = 20.9
-0.2 * y = 20.9 - 21.2
y = -0.3 / -0.2
y = 1.5
now for x:
x = (26.5 - 4 * 1.5) / 5
x = 4.1
This means that the length of the pencils is 4.1 inches and for the crayons 1.5 inches
P=2a+2b
P=36
a=12
36=2*12+2b
36=24+2b
36-24=2b
12=2b
b=6
So, the length of the remaining sides is 6 each.
1(6x-9)=(4x-6)
One solution was found :
x = 3/2 = 1.500
Rearrange:
Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :
1*(6*x-9)-((4*x-6))=0
Step by step solution :
Step 1 :
Step 2 :
Pulling out like terms :
2.1 Pull out like factors :
6x - 9 = 3 • (2x - 3)
Equation at the end of step 2 :
3 • (2x - 3) - (4x - 6) = 0
Step 3 :
Equation at the end of step 3 :
2x - 3 = 0
Step 4 :
Solving a Single Variable Equation :
4.1 Solve : 2x-3 = 0
Add 3 to both sides of the equation :
2x = 3
Divide both sides of the equation by 2:
x = 3/2 = 1.500
One solution was found :
x = 3/2 = 1.500
Answer:
x=3
Step-by-step explanation:
2x-x=5-3+1
x=3
I think that's it
