Answer:

He sold 100 rackets for $ 20

Step-by-step explanation:

To start, we have to make 2 equations, one that represents the number of rackets and the other the money

x + y = 500

x * 20 + y * 45 = 20000

we clear x in the first equation

x + y = 500

x = 500 - y

we replace x in the second equation with (500 - y)

x * 20 + y * 45 = 20000

(500 - y) * 20 + y * 45 = 20000

10000 - 20y + 45y = 20000

-20y + 45y = 20000 - 10000

25y = 10000

y = 10000/25

y = 400

we replace x in the first equation with the value obtained

x = 500 - y

x = 500 - 400

x = 100

Answer: they sold 100 racquets at $20 each.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of tennis racquets that were sold at $20 each.

Let y represent the number of tennis racquets that were sold at $45 each.

A dealer sold 500 tennis racquets some were sold at $20 each and the rest were sold at $45 each. It means that

x + y = 500

The total receipts from these sales were $20000. This means that

20x + 45y = 20000- - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 500 - y into equation 1, it becomes

20(500 - y) + 45y = 20000

10000 - 20y + 45y = 20000

- 20y + 45y = 20000 - 10000

25y = 10000

y = 10000/25

y = 400

x = 500 - 400

x = 100

The third one, 2 to the power of 5 over 6

√2  * 3√2

convert from radical form to exponent form to solve for the same root
( x^m/n = n√x^m )

2^(1/2) * 2^(1/3)  
2^{3/6} * 2^{2/6} - find common denominator (6)
6√(2^3) * 6√(2^2)  - convert back to radical form 
6√(2^3 * 2^2)- combine

then convert to exponential form again

I need help with please

Answer:

x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - 1 + 4x - 11

First, you want to combine like terms.

We can see that the one and eleven can go together, so add them together.

2x + 4x - 12

The reason that we made one, and eleven, negative twelve, is because they are both being subtracted from the numbers before that.

6x - 12

We added the 2x, and the 4x together to make 6x.

Another way to write this would be x - 2, because you can simplify it by dividing it by 6.
