Answer:

The market sold 18 6-ounce cans of soup on Tuesday

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us solve the question

- The number of the 6-ounce cans is x

- The number of 12-ounce cans is y

- 6x + 12y = 420

→ Divide each term by 6 to simplify the equation

- x + 2y = 70 ⇒ (1)

- x + y = 44 ⇒ (2)

→ Subtract equation (2) from equation (1)

- (x - x) + (2y - y) = (70 - 44)

- 0 + y = 26

- y = 26

Substitute the value of y in equation (2) to find the value of x

-x + 26 = 44

→ Subtract 26 from both sides

- x + 26 - 26 = 44 - 26

- x = 18

- x represents the number of the 6-ounce cans

- The market sold 18 6-ounce cans of soup on Tuesday

Wittaler [7]

Answer: $\frac{3}{8}x-\frac{41}{5}$ or $\frac{3}{8}x-8\ \frac{1}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following expression:

$\frac{3}{4}(\frac{1}{2}x-12)+\frac{4}{5}$

You can follow these steps in order to simplify it:

1. You need to apply Distributive property:

$=\frac{3}{8}x-9+\frac{4}{5}$

2. And now you must add the like terms. Then:

$=\frac{3}{8}x-\frac{41}{5}$

Therefore you get the following answer:

$\frac{3}{8}x-\frac{41}{5}$ or $\frac{3}{8}x-8\ \frac{1}{5}$

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Given:
circular merry-go-round that has a diameter of 15 feet.

Find: How much trim does he need to buy to put around the edge of the merry-go-round?

We need to find the circumference of the merry-go-round to get the measurement of the trim needed.

Circumference = π d
π = 3.14
d = diameter = 15 feet

Circumference = 3.14 * 15 feet
Circumference = 47.10 feet.

Mr. Osterhout needs to buy 47.10 feet of trim to put around the circular merry-go-round.
