Answer:

Let bags of pecans cost = x

Make an equation :

Bags of almonds cost = x + 3 (they said almonds cost 3 dollars more)

Total number of bags ordered: (3 bags pecans) + (5 bags of almonds)

Cost for pecans = 3x

Cost for almonds = 5(x + 3) = 5x + 15

Price of pecans + price of almonds = total cost

Solve for x:

3x + 5(x + 3) = 55 (remove brackets)

3x + 5x + 15 = 55 (add like terms)

8x + 15 = 55

8x + 15 - 15 = 55 - 15 (get rid of the 15)

8x = 40

8x/8 = 40/8

x = 5

bags pecans cost is $5

bags of almonds is $5+$3 = $8

The length of a rectangular garden is 17 feet longer than its width. If the area of the garden is 234 square feet, what are the
kifflom [539]

Answer:

The garden is 9 feet wide and 26 feet long.

Step-by-step explanation:

L = W+17

area = LW = 234

(W+17)W = 234

W²+17W-234 = 0

Quadratic formula

W = [-17 ± √(17² – 4·1(-234))] / [2·1]

 = [-17 ± √1225] / 2

 = [-17 ± 35] /2

 = -26, 9

-26 is an extraneous solution

W = 9

L = W+17 = 26

The garden is 9 feet wide and 26 feet long.

Find the measure of Angle 8. <br><br> measure of angle 7 = 2x+15<br> measure of angle 8 = 3x
aleksandrvk [35]
I do not understand the context of your question, you need extra information to find this out like a picture or a word problem.
If the angles equal each other you would have to solve for x when angle 7 and 8 equal each other. SO... based on that, x would equal 15. This means measure of angle 7 would equal 45 and measure of angle 8 would equal 45. This may not be true because I have no idea what you are asking
