Answer: Length ≥ 6 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a rectangle= length × width
In this case, the width is 4 feet and the area of the stage must be at most 24 square feet.
The inequality that describes the possible lengths (in feet) of the stage would be:
Length × Width ≥ 24
Length × 4 ≥ 24
Length ≥ 24/4
Length ≥ 6
Therefore, the length must be at most 6 feet.
Answer:
It describes multiplication
Step-by-step explanation:
As you can see its 5x-5 (the x is say "by" or "of), So when you look at it you can clearly see it's multiplication.
Answer:
18 Skittles
6 M&Ms
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up an equation:
Variable x = number of skittles
Variable y = number of M&Ms
1.50x + 2y = 39
x + y = 24
In the second equation, isolate a variable:
x = 24 - y
Substitute the value of x for 24 - y in the first equation:
1.50(24 - y) + 2y = 39
Use distributive property
36 - 1.5y + 2y = 39
Combine like terms
36 + 0.5y = 39
Isolate variable y:
0.5y = 3
y = 6
Substitute the value of y for 6 in the second equation:
x + 6 = 24
Isolate variable x:
x = 18
Plug these values into any equation of your choice to see if these values are correct (I'll do both equations just to prove it):
1.50(18) + 2(6) = 39
27 + 12 = 39
39 = 39
Correct
x + y = 24
18 + 6 = 24
24 = 24
Correct
Answer: 9+4n-1 = 20
We can solve this by substitution.
Replace n with the value given, 3 (remember 4n means 4 times n):
9 + 4*3 - 1
Then work it out using arithmetic
9+12-1
=20
