Answer:

9.286

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm not guaranteeing this answer. If this is correctly written without any indication of how to deal with x, then here is as much as you can do.

850-53x m= 720-39x m Subtract 720 from both sides.

850 - 720 - 53x = 720 - 720 - 39xm Combine

- 53xm + 130 = - 39xm Add 53x

-53x+53xm + 130 = -39x + 53xm Combine

130 = 14xm Divide by 14

xm = 130/14

xm = 9.28

===============================

You can use the same steps above. I'm abbreviating the steps because they are the same.

I'm sure there is more to the problem, but I can't imagine what it is. If you have additional directions, put it under this answer. I will get it as a comment.

850-53m= 720-39m

850 - 720 - 53m = - 39m

130 - 53m = - 39m

130 = -39m + 53m

130 = 14m

130/14 = m

m =9.286

a bag contains 10 white gold balls and 6 striped golf balls. a golfer wants to add 112 golf balls to the bag. he wants the ratio

wolverine [178]

Answer:70 white golf balls and 42 striped golf balls

Step-by-step explanation:

First we find the ratio of white to striped balls

White golf balls = 10

Striped golf balls = 6

Ratio = 10/6 = 5/3

We are told a golfer wants to add extra 112 balls to the already 16 balls

And the ratio after adding 112 balls must stay the same

First we label the extra golf balls to be added x and y

x = white golf balls

y = striped golf balls

So since we know the 112 balls added is a combination of the extra white golf balls and striped golf balls, we create an equation for that, labelling it (1)

x + y = 112 (1)

And we are told that after putting these extra balls the ratio must remain the same, which is 5/3

which will be (10 white balls + x) divided by (6 striped ball + y) will be equals to 5/3

So we create another equation for this, labelling it (2)

(10+x)/(6+y) = 5/3 (2)

So we have two simultaneous equations

We pick (1)

x + y = 112

We either make x or y the subject of formula, I choose to make x the subject of formula, we label the equation (3)

take y to the other side, causing it to change to -y

x = 112 - y (3)

We then work with (2)

(10+x)/(6+y) = 5/3

We cross multiply

3(10+x) = 5(6+y)

We open the brackets

Making the equation simplified and labelling it (4)

30 +3x = 30 + 5y

Collect like terms

3x -5y = 30-30

3x -5y = 0 (4)

Remember from (3) we know that

x = 112 -y

So we put (3) in (4)

3(112 - y) - 5y = 0

Open bracket

336 -3y -5y =0

336 -8y = 0

Transfer -8y to the other side, changing to +8y

336 = 8y

Divide both sides by 8

336/8 = y

42 = y

y = 42

from (3) we know that x equals 112 - y

So we put y = 42 in (3)

x = 112 - y

x = 112 -42 = 70

x = 70

So therefore number of white golfs balls and striped golfs balls to be added to keep the same ratio is 70 and 42 respectively

A rug maker is using a patter that is a rectangle with a length of 96 inches and a width of 60 inches. the rug maker wants to in

dexar [7]

Recall that the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is: 2Length+2Width
With this in mind, we have that the original design is 96×60, where 90 is length and 60 is width, so it would simply be:
2(96+l) + 2 (60+w) = New Perimeter
Or simplified, it'd be:
2l + 2w + 312 = New Perimeter

Nivyana and Ana are selling their apparel to earn money for a cruise. Knitted scarves are $50 each in Mittens are $25 per pair.

Katarina [22]

Answer:

The number of knitted scarves is 10

The number of knitted mitten is 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The cost of each knitted scarves = $50

The cost of pairs of mittens = $25

Total number of scarves and mitten bought = 30

The total money invested to pay for items = $1000

Let The number of knitted scarves = k

Let The number of mitten = m

<u>Now, According to question</u>

The total money invested to pay for items = cost of each knitted scarves × number of knitted scarves + cost of pairs of mittens × number of mitten

i.e $1000 = $50 × k + $25 × m

Or, 40 = 2 k + m

i.e 2 k + m = 40 ........A

And

Total number of scarves and mitten bought = number of knitted scarves + number of mitten

i.e k + m = 30 ...........B

Now, solving eq A and eq B

So, (2 k + m ) - ( k + m ) = 40 - 30

Or, (2 k - k) + ( m - m) = 10

Or, k + 0 = 10

∴ k = 10

So, The number of knitted scarves = k = 10

Put the value of k into eq B

∵ k + m = 30

So, m = 30 - k

or, m = 30 - 10

∴ m = 20

The number of knitted mitten = m = 20

Hence, The number of knitted scarves is 10 and The number of knitted mitten is 20 . Answer
