Bruce retiled his kitchen. Originally, he bought three boxes of tile with the same number of tiles in each. He ran out of tile a

nd had to go back to get three extra boxes of tile. However, he only used two tiles from the last box to finish the job.
Felicia also retiled her kitchen. She bought five boxes of tile, and each box contained the same number of tiles as each of Bruce’s boxes. She also ran out of tile. She had to go back to the store and get five more tiles to finish the job.

Expression for the number of tiles Bruce used : 5x+2

Expression for the number of tiles Felicia used : 5x + 5

Is it possible for Bruce and Felicia to have used the same number of tiles? Use complete sentences to explain your reasoning.

Suppose, instead, that Bruce used 6 full boxes of tiles plus an additional 2 tiles, and Felicia used 5 full boxes of tiles plus an additional 17 tiles.

If they each used the same number of tiles, how many tiles were in each box?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Is it possible for Bruce and Felicia to have used the same number of tiles? Use complete sentences to explain your reasoning.

No

5x + 2 ≠ 5x + 5

because

       2 ≠ 5

If they each used the same number of tiles, how many tiles were in each box?

6x + 2 = 5x + 17

6x - 5x + 2 - 2 = 5x - 5x + 17 - 2

        x = 15 tiles

Cindy and Zoey work at a store. Both girls earn $6.25 per hour
wolverine [178]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I think this is your full question, right?

<em>Cindy and Zoey work at a store. Both girls earn $6.25 per hour. During a normal week Cindy works 15 hours and  Zoey works 20 hours. The expression 6.25(15) + 6.25(20) can be used to calculate the total amount of money that the  girls earned in one week. Which expression shows another way to calculate the amount of money the girls earn in  one week?  </em>

My answer:

The expression shows another way must be equal to: <em>6.25(15) + 6.25(20)  </em>

<=> 6.25 (15+20)

Because both girls earn the same per hour.

saw5 [17]

Answer:

it is clear that at 95% confidence that the bonus plan has increased the sales significantly, because if we observe you will notice that sales after is greater than sales before in all six cases.

Step-by-step explanation:

A 95% confidence interval as we have above is the range of values that we can say with utmost certainty and confidence that 95% chance it contains the true mean of the population. in other words we can say that a  95% confidence interval defines a range of values that you can be 95% certain contains the population mean.
