Okay, so I would multiply 62*7.5 to get 465.
To check the solution, make sure it follows the rules as in the word problem.
If you divide 465 by 7.5 you do get 62, so the solution is 465.
Mathematically, the equation would be
x
- = 62
7.5
I would multiply x/7.5 by 7.5/1 (to cancel it out) and 62/1 by 7.5 which is basically the same solution as above.
Answer:
10 buses are needed.
9 buses will only be able to take 468 people.
Explanation:
There are 461 + 20 = 481 people altogether needing transport. Each bus can take at most 52 people. The number of buses needed =
482 ÷ 52.
482 ÷ 52 = 9.25 buses. You might be tempted to round down to 9 buses (because of the 2 that follows the decimal) However, if there are 9 buses,
9 × 52 = 468 people can be taken There will still be
13 people to be transported. This is an example of where you need to round UP to the next whole number.
10 buses are needed. In reality it means that not all the buses will be full, but 10 buses are needed to ensure that everyone gets a ride to the museum.
So factoring this would be:
(x-7)(x-3)
so the solution set is
{7, 3}
I'm not sure if this is what you were asking, if it wasn't, I'll edit it.
Answer:
D.
Step-by-step explanation:
x(x+2) (x-5) -240
put that on a graph calculator and the x=8
x=8
x+2=10
x-5=3
