Answer:

$400\ cards$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x------> amount of baseball cards Isaac had before he sold

we know that

$14.5\%=14.5/100=0.145$

so

$0.145x=58$

Solve for x

$x=58/0.145$

$x=400\ cards$

Answer:

There are 15 combinations.

Step-by-step explanation:

A restaurant is offering a dinner special that includes one starter and one entree.

Starter: bread-sticks, soup, salad

Entree: beef, fish, chicken, shrimp, pork

So, we have 3 starters and 5 entrees.

To know the possible dinner special combinations we will simply multiply the two.

$3\times5=15$

Therefore, there are 15 combinations.

Part of the area under this ramp serves for storage. Items can be stored only in the unshaded part of the ramp

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

48.1 m³ available, 2.5m³ not available

Step-by-step explanation:

Tan(X) = 4.5/(5.8+1.7)

Tan X = 3/5

Hypotenuse² = 3² + 5² = 34

Sin X = 3/sqrt(34)

X = 30.96

1/sinX = 1.7/SinY

Y = 61.003°

Third angle: 180 - X - Y = 88.037

Volume

= ½ × 1.7 × 1 × sin(88.038) × 3

= .

= 2.548

= 2.5m³

Available for storage:

½×4.5×7.5×3 - 2.548

= 48.077 = 48.1 m³

$\huge\text{Hey there!}$

$\large\text{We cannot do much of nothing because we don’t have all the information}\\\large\text{to solve.. so we can just simply do process of elimination until we fully find}\\\large\text{the ANSWER you are trying to look for.}$

$\large\text{Given equation: 25b - 14b}\\\large\text{COMBINE your LIKE TERMS}\\\large\text{\underline{25b - 14b} = 11b}\\\large\text{So, we are looking for an equation that gives us \bf{11b}}$

$\large\text{Option A.}\downarrow\\\large\text{b(25 - 14)}\\\large\text{DISTRIBUTE: b(25) + b(-14)}\\\bullet\large\text{ Reverts to: 25b - 14b (our ORIGINAL EQUATION) so this can be}\\\large\text{equal to 11b}\\\\\large\text{Option A. could POSSIBLY be your ANSWER}$

$\large\text{Option B. }\downarrow\\\large\text{b(25 + 14)}\\\large\text{Distribute}\\\large\text{25(b) + 14(b)}\\\large\text{It DOES NOT revert to the original equation. It gives us: 25b + 14b}\\\large\text{If we COMBINE your LIKE TERMS in that equation. We would get: 39b}\\\large\bf{39b \neq 11b}\\\\\large\text{Option B is NOT your ANSWER}$

$\large\text{Options C and D CANNOT be your answers because Option C. is}\\\large\text{-11b and Option D. is -39b}$

$\boxed{\boxed{\large\text{To sum it all up, your ANSWER is: \bf{Option A. b(25 - 14)}}}}\huge\checkmark$

$\text{Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!}$
