Mathematics

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Since the titanic was scheduled to reach on April 17 after leaving on April 10, this means that 7 days was spent on the voyage. The total amount of meat available was 75000 pounds, hence:

number of meat per day = total amount of meat / number of days = 75000 / 7 = 10714 pounds per day.

2) Total number of silverware is 44000. Hence:

Total plates = half of total silverware = 44000/2 = 22000

3) There are 3000 potatoes in a ton, and a total of 40 tons was available on the titanic. Hence:

Total number of potatoes = 40 tons * 3000 potatoes per ton = 120000 potatoes

Solve each equation. Record your work and check your solution. <br> a. 5(x-2)+(-9)= -7(1-x)
Daniel [21]

The solution for equation is x = -6

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

<em><u>Given equation is:</u></em>

5(x-2) + (-9) = -7(1-x)

We have to solve the equation

According to Bodmas rule, if an expression contains brackets ((), {}, []) we have to first solve or simplify the bracket followed by of (powers and roots etc.), then division, multiplication, addition and subtraction from left to right

Therefore, solve for brackets in given equation

5(x-2) + (-9) = -7(1-x)\\\\5x - 10 -9 = -7 + 7x

Solve for terms in left hand side of equation

5x - 19 = -7+7x

Move the variables to one side and constants to other side

7x -5x = -19+7\\\\2x = -12\\\\Divide\ both\ sides\ by\ 2\\\\x = -6

Thus the solution for equation is x = -6
