the answer should be 44. you plug in -7 for x.
The width of the aquarium is 0.1625 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
The length (l) of the aquarium = 2 ft
Height (h) = 1.5 ft
The capacity of water it holds = 3.75 gallons
That means the volume (V) = 3.75 gallon
To find the width(b) of the aquarium.
Formula
- The volume of a cuboid with l as length, b as width and h as height = lbh
So,
V = 3.75×0.13 cube ft
According to the problem,
2×1.5×b = 3.75×0.13
or, b = (3.75×0.13)÷(2×1.5)
or, b = 0.1625 ft
Hence,
The width of the aquarium is 0.1625 ft.

First you need to know how much each guest will eat
Answer:
- <u>120 pens and 200 pencils.</u>
<u></u>
Explanation:
You can set a system of two equations.
<u>1. Variables</u>
<u />
- x: number of pens
- y: number of pencils
<u>2. Cost</u>
- <em>each pen costs</em> $1, then x pens costs: x
- <em>each pencil costs</em> $0.5, then y pencil costs: 0.5y
- Then, the total cost is: x + 0.5y
- The cost of the whole purchase was $ 220, then the first equation is:
x + 0.5y = 220 ↔ equation (1)
<u>3. </u><em><u>There were 80 more pencils than pens</u></em>
Then:
pencils = 80 + pens
↓ ↓
y = 80 + x ↔ equation (2)
<u>4. Solve the system</u>
i) Substitute the equation (2) into the equation (1):
ii) Solve
iii) Substitute x = 120 into the equation (2)
Solution: 120 pens and 200 pencils ← answer
