Answer:

E started with 26 books, sold 13 books, bought 17 more books, and ended with 30 books

Step-by-step explanation:

E has _ books: x

E Sells 1/2 of that _ books: x/2

E buys 17 books and now had 30: (x/2) + 17 = 30

30 - 17 = 13

13 x 2 = 26

x/2 = 26

13 + 17 = 30 <-- checking work

My guess is that x = 13

quester [9]

Answer:

Sarah bought 2 coach tickets and 3 first class tickets.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c and f represent the numbers of coach and first class tickets purchased. Then c + f = 5, so that c = 5 - f.

The pricing equation is therefore

$380c + $1080f = $4000. Subbing 5 - f for c, we get the revised equation

380(5 - f) + 1080f = 4000.

After simplification, this becomes:

-380f + 1080f = 2100, or

700f = 2100.

Then f = 3 and c = 5 - f = 5 - 3 = 2.

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

$Length= 429 feet\\Width=143feet$

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of the rectangle= 1144 feet

Length=3*Width

L=3*W

Perimeter of rectangle:

$2(Length+Width)\\\\ 1144=2(3W+W)\\\\ 1144/2=3W+W\\\\ 572=4W\\\\ W=572/4\\\\ W= 143 feet\\\\Width=143 feet\\\\Length=3*143=429 feet\\\\$

The Dimension of the rectangle is :

$Length= 429 feet\\Width=143feet$

Here's a graph of a linear function. write the equation that describes that function.

7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

slope intercept form => Y = mx + b

find m... the slope by using any two points on the line

p1 = (0,5) by inspection

p2=(4,6) by inspection

find m = y2-y1 / x2-x1

m = 6 - 5 / 4 - 0

m =1 / 4

then use the slope intercept formula

y = 1/4x + 5 for your answer. we know b = 5 b/c thats where the line crosses the y axis.

y = $\frac{1}{4}$ x + 5 is the answer
