Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

6x - 4 = 8( 2 + 1/4x) Distribute

6x - 4 = 16 + 2x

-6x -6x Subtract

-4 = 16 - 4x

-16 -16 Subtract

-20 = -4x Divide

tatuchka [14]

The candle would burn for 18 hours.

45 / 15 = 3

If the candle is three times longer than normal, it will burn three times longer than normal.

3 x 6 = 18

Score Frequency

RUDIKE [14]

Scores on an AP Exam at a local high school are recorded in the table. What was the average score?

Answer: D) 4.266 is correct

Explanation:

We are given the below frequency table:

Score Frequency

1 | 0

2 | 3

3 | 4

4 | 16

5 | 22

Let's denote the score by $x$ and frequency by $f$ .

The average formula is:

$Average=\frac{\sum fx}{\sum f}$

$=\frac{(1\times0) + (2\times3)+(3\times4) +(4\times16) + (5\times22)}{0+3+4+16+22}$

$=\frac{0+6+12+64+110}{45}$

$=\frac{192}{45}=4.267$

Therefore, the average score was 4.267

Hence the option D) 4.266

Please Hurry ...Which expression is equivalent to

swat32

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\sf \frac{160rs^5}{t^6}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sf 5r^6t^4 ( \frac{4r^3s^tt^4}{2r^4st^6} ) ^5$

Using rule of exponents $\sf a^m/a^n = a^{m-n}$

$\sf 5r^6t^4 ( 2 r^{3-4} s^{2-1}t^{4-6})^5\\5r^6t^4(2r^{-1}st^{-2})^5\\5r^6t^4 * 32 r^{-5}s^5t^{-10}$

Using rule of exponents $\sf a^m*a^n = a^{m+n}$

$\sf 160 r^{6-5}s^5t^{4-10}$

$\sf 160 rs^5 t^{-6}$

To equalize the negative sign, we'll move t to the denominator

$\sf \frac{160rs^5}{t^6}$

aul bought 9 total shirts for a total of $72. Tee shirts cost $10 and long sleeve shirts cost $7. How many of each type of shirt

vodomira [7]

Set up a system of equations:

$\text{Total shirts bought}$

$x + y = 9$

$\text{Total cost}$

$10x + 7y = 72$

x represents how many tee shirts were bought, and y represents how many long sleeve shirts were bought.

For the first equation, subtract y from both sides to get x by itself:

$x = 9 - y$

We'll now use substitution. Since x is equal to a value, we can substitute this value for the other equation:

$10(9-y) + 7y = 72$

Distribute the 10 to both terms in parentheses:

$10 \times 9 = 90$

$10 \times -y = -10y$

$90 - 10y +7y = 72$

Combine like terms:

$-10y + 7y = -3y$

$90 - 3y = 72$

Subtract 90 from both sides:

$-3y = -18$

Divide both sides by -3 to get y by itself:

$y = 6$

6 long sleeve shirts were bought.

Now you have a value for y. Input this value into the first equation:

$x + 6 = 9$

Subtract both sides by 6 to get x by itself:

$x = 3$

3 tee shirts were bought.

The answer is B. 3 tee shirts and 6 long sleeve shirts.
