Answer:
A- X= 20÷5-3
B- 20÷5=4; 4-3=1
C- X=1
Step-by-step explanation:
Okay, well we have to work backwards. 20 cookies, and she makes 5 bags. We need to find out what 'x' means. To do that, we take 20 cookies and divide it by 5. 4 cookies. Then we want to take 3 cookies out of each bag to find out how many cookies she first put in. 1 cookie.
Let's check:
bag 1:
o (one cookie)
bag 2:
o (one cookie)
bag 3:
o (one cookie)
bag 4:
o (one cookie)
bag 5:
o (one cookie)
Now we have 15 cookies left. Now let's put 3 in each:
bag 1:
o (one cookie)
v v v ( three cookies)
bag 2:
o (one cookie)
v v v ( three cookies)
bag 3:
o (one cookie)
v v v ( three cookies)
bag 4:
o (one cookie)
v v v ( three cookies)
bag 5:
o (one cookie)
v v v ( three cookies)
Now we have no cookies left, and we put 4 cookies in each. (o representing the first cookie, v representing the next three cookies)
Answer:
a) $19.2
b) 0.8x
c) $17.5
Step-by-step explanation:
1. We want to find the discount price given the regular price
The discount is 20%
so the discount price will be;
24 - 20% of 24
24 - 4.8 = $19.2
b) We have this as;
x - (20% of x)
x - 0.2x = 0.8x
c) let the original price be x
x - 20% of x = 14
x - 0.2x = 14
0.8x = 14
x = 14/0.8
x = $17.5
The answer is 24 to the 4th power
Answer:
y = 5x + 4
Step-by-step explanation:
First I found the slope by using the the definition that slope is rise/run so I saw that the y value went up from 4 to 9 which is 5 units and then the x value went up one in that same time. This means that the slope is 5/1. Then I found the y intercept by seeing where x = 0. On the graph you can see the line touches the y - axis at a value of 4 which means that the y - intercept is 4. Plugging these values into the y = mx + b equation you get y = 5x + 4.
<em>Answer</em>
B) y = 3
<em>Step-by-step explanation</em>
Given the system of equations:
Isolating x from equation 1:
Substituting equation 3 into equation 2 and solving for y:
