Answer:

Her error was multiplying numerator by numerator ( that is Quantity of Bone-shaped treats)

Step-by-step explanation:

Sarah's calculation

Let

x = cost of 12 Bone-shaped treats

Quantity of Bone-shaped treats : price

5 : 3.5 = 12 : x

(5/3.5) = (12/x)

Cross product

3.5x=60 (Here is her error)

x=17.14

Correct calculation

Quantity of Bone-shaped treats : price

5 : 3.5 = 12 : x

5 / 3.5 = 12 / x

Cross product

5 * x = 3.5 * 12

5x = 42

x = 42 / 5

= 8.4

x = $8.4

Her error was multiplying numerator by numerator ( that is Quantity of Bone-shaped treats)

Instead of multiplying Quantity of Bone-shaped treats by cost

Answer:

Sarah multiplied the denominator by the denominator and the numerator by the numerator instead of finding the cross products. The equation should be 5x = 42, so the cost should be $8.40.

Shanley would like to give $5 gift cards
Serjik [45]

Answer:

$5x + $4y ≤ $120

let x = 10

y = 5

$70  ≤ 120

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that

> means greater than

< means less than

≥  means greater or equal to

≤ means less than or equal to

the total amount Shanley has is $120. She can spend less than this amount or the amount exactly. So, the inequality sign to be used is ≤

$5x + $4y ≤ $120

let x = 10

y = 5

(50) + 20  ≤ 120

$70 ≤  120

Who would you go about this.
Nostrana [21]
A. First move all to the left side of the equation(Normal form)

x^3 - 49x= 0

B. Factor out an x, which is the GCF (Factored form)

x(x^2 - 49) = 0

C. Find solutions by making each x piece equal to 0. The first part is just x=0 and the second part is just factoring the difference of squares and then solving.

x=0, x^2 - 49 =0

x=0, x + 7 = 0, x - 7 = 0

Therefore, the answers for Part C are:
x = 0, x = -7, x = 7

-5/6(8+5b) = 75+5/3 b
Viktor [21]

Answer:

b = - 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

- \frac{5}{6}(8 + 5b) = 75 + \frac{5}{3} b

Multiply through by 6 ( the LCM of 6 and 3 ) to clear the fractions

- 5(8 + 5b) = 450 + 10b ← distribute left side

- 40 - 25b = 450 + 10b ( subtract 10b from both sides )

- 40 - 35b = 450 ( add 40 to both sides )

- 35b = 490 ( divide both sides by - 35 )

b = - 14
