The answer is easy it is x=5
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
is the sum 78 or 7,878 (i.e. was there a stutter)?
In any event, this sum must be even, so 3 consecutive even integers would be n, n+2 & n+4 whose sum is 3n + 6.
Set that to either 78 or 7878, whichever is intended, & solve for n. If 78 is their grand total, then those 3 consecutive even numbers have to be 24, 26 & 28.
No stress! Just logic! Keep the faith!
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x = the number of shorts bought
y = the number of t-shirts bought
A pair of shorts costs $16 and a t-shirt costs $10. Brandom has $100 to spend.
Therefore
16x + 10y ≤ 100
This may be written as
y ≤ - 1.6x + 10 (1)
Brandon wants at least 2 pairs of shorts. Therefore
x ≥ 2 (2)
Graph the equations y = -1.6x + 10 and x = 2.
The shaded region satisfies both inequalities.
Answer:
Two possible solutions are
(a) 3 pairs of shorts and 4 t-shirts,
(b) 4 pairs of shorts and 2 t-shirts.
