Elisa bought some boxes of pencils for $3.99 each and some boxes of pens at $4.99 each. If p represents the number of boxes of p

encils and b represents the number of boxes of pens, which equation describes the relationship between these two variables if she spent a total of $39.91 on these items?
A. 4.99p + 3.99b = 39.91
B. 4.99p - 3.99b = 39.91
C. 3.99p + 4.99b = 39.91
D. 3.99p - 4.99b = 39.91

The equation which describes the relationship between these two variables is 39.91 = 3.99p + 4.99b

Given:

<em>Cost of each box of pencil</em> = $3.99

<em>Cost of each box of pen </em>= $4.99

<em>Total cost</em> = $39.91

let

p = <em>number of boxes of pencils</em>

b = <em>number of boxes of pens</em>

The equation:

<em>Total cost = (Cost of each box of pencil × number of boxes of pencils) + (Cost of each box of pen × number of boxes of pens)</em>

39.91 = (3.99 × p) + (4.99 × b)

39.91 = 3.99p + 4.99b

Therefore, equation which describes the relationship between these two variables is 39.91 = 3.99p + 4.99b

One variable is the amount of days. Lets call the amount of days D. Another variable is the amount of pictures left. Lets call this p. In this case, since Emanuel is deleting 20 pictures a day, and he has 745 picture to start with, the equation would be 745- 20D=p.

A chicken farmer also has cows for a total of 30 animals, and the animals have 66 legs in all. How many chickens does the farmer
hammer [34]

Answer:

27 chickens

Step-by-step explanation:

A chicken farmer also has cows for a total of 30 animals

Both animals have a total of 66 legs

Let a represent the number of chicken

Let b represent the number of cows

a + b= 30........equation 1

Since a chicken has only two legs and a cow has four leg then, the expression can be represented as

2a + 4b= 66........equation 2

From equation 1

a + b= 30

a = 30-b

Substitute 30-b for a in equation 2

2a + 4b= 66

2(30-b) + 4b= 66

60 - 2b + 4b= 66

60 + 2b= 66

2b= 66-60

2b= 6

b= 6/2

b= 3

Substitute 3 for b in equation 1

a + b = 30

a + 3=30

a= 30-3

a= 27

Hence the farmer has 27 chickens

A 14-foot ladder is leaning against a building as shown. It touches a point 11 feet up on a building. How far away from the base
Luden [163]
We can assume that the point the ladder creates with the ground and building is a triangle. You can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve this.

A^2 + B^2 = C^2

The ladder is C, and the building can act as A or B, so for the purpose of this explanation, I’ll make it A.

11^2 + B^2 = 14^2
Figure out the squares

121 + B^2 = 196
Subtract 121 from both sides

B^2 = 75
Square root B^2 and 75

B = 5 root3
