A sandwich shop charges $3.75 for a sandwich with meat and cheese and $0.15 for each additional topping. You can spend at most $
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer: $3.75 + $0.15n ≤ $5.25

Step-by-step explanation:

$3.75 is the cost of the sandwich

$0.15 is the cost for each additional topping

$5.25 is the maximum amount you can spend

Ask yourself, how many additional toppings can you add before going over the total of $5.25. Since we don't know this value, it's a variable, n.

a rectangular plot of land has the length of 4/7 mile and a width of 3/8 mile. what is the area of this plot? ​
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

3/14 of a mile

Step-by-step explanation:

It is asking for area.  The area of a rectangle is base times height

A = bh

the length can be either the base or the height.  It won't matter for this question.  Same goes for the width.  Lets use 4/7 as the base, and 3/8 as the height.  

So

A = (4/7)(3/8)

*When multiplying fractions, multiply the numerators together, and multiply the denominators together, then simplify the resulting fraction.

A = (4/7)(3/8)     becomes  

A = 12/56           which reduces to

A = 3/14          (both 12 and 56 are divisible by 4)

An angle measures 10° less than the measure of its supplementary angle. What is the measure of each angle?​
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

The two angles are 85 and 95 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Supplementary angles add to 180

Let x be one angle

The supplement is 10 less,  ( x-10)

They add to 180

x+ ( x-10) = 180

2x -10 = 180

Add 10 to each side

2x-10+10 =180-10

2x= 190

Divide by 2

2x/2 =190/2

x=95

The other angle is 95-10 = 85

The two angles are 85 and 95 degrees
