Answer:
12.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The ascending or descending order of a polynomial is
determined by the increasing or decreasing power of variable “x” respectively.
<span>The question is to find about the polynomial in
descending order, so in this case, the 3rd option is correct, i.e.
4x^2 – 3x + 9 or 4x^2 – 3x^1 +9x^0. The power of “x”
decreasing from 2 to 1 and then finally to 0.</span>
X= number of tubs Kasey sold
3x= number tubs sister sold
Add the number sold by Kasey and her sister to equal the total sold (88).
x + 3x= 88
combine like terms
4x= 88
divide both sides by 4
x= 22 number tubs Kasey sold
Number Sold by Sister
3x= 3(22)= 66
CHECK:
x + 3x= 88
22 + 3(22)= 88
22 + 66= 88
88= 88
ANSWER: Kasey sold 22 tubs and her sister sold 66 tubs.
Hope this helps! :)
