Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

from

3(7x +7) + 5x = 5(5x + 10)

21x+21+5x = 25x + 50

26x + 21 = 25x + 50

26x-25x +21 = 50

1x+21 = 50

1x =50-21

x = 29

equal when x= 29

try to x> 29 such as 30

3(7(30) +7) + 5(30) ? 5(5(30) + 10)

1470 ? 800

so greater than when x >29

finally

less than when x<29

Answer:

When x = 29: the expressions are equal

When x < 29: 3(7x + 7) + 5x is less than 5(5x + 10)

When x > 29: 3(7x + 7) + 5x is greater than 5(5x + 10)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expressions:

3(7x + 7) + 5x
5(5x + 10)

Expand both expressions:

3(7x + 7) + 5x

⇒ 21x + 21 + 5x

⇒ 26x + 21

5(5x + 10)

⇒ 25x + 50

Equate the expanded expressions and solve for x

26x + 21 = 25x + 50

⇒ 26x - 25x = 50 - 21

⇒ x = 29

Therefore, the expressions are equal when x = 29

When x < 29: 3(7x + 7) + 5x < 5(5x + 10)

When x > 29: 3(7x + 7) + 5x > 5(5x + 10)

Given six distinct pairs of gloves, 12 distinct gloves in all, how many ways are there to distribute two gloves to each of six s

noname [10]

a) if the two gloves someone receives might both be for the left hand or right hand.

b) if each sister gets one left and one right.

Soln:

a) So i thought about dissectng the problem first into finding the number of ways in which I could make pairs of gloves:

C(12, 2)

then I asked how many ways could the sets of gloves be assigned amongst the 6 sisters:

6!6!

and taking the product of this would give me the amount of ways this could occur:

= C(12,2) * 6!

then for part b)

using this same idea except:

C(6,1) C(6,1) for the left and right glove each .

the C(6,1)*C(6,1)*6!

Right way to think them through?

A hat is on sale for h dollars. The regular price is 7 times as much. Charlie has enough money to buy two hats at the regular pr

Nostrana [21]

Answer:

Charlie can buy 14 hats at the sale price

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

h ----> the sale price of the hat

x ---> the regular price of the hat

we know that

$x=7h$ ----> equation A

Two hats at the regular price is equal to multiply 2 by x

Multiply by 2 equation A both sides

$2x=(7h)*2$

$2x=14h$

2 hats at the regular price cost the same that 14 hats at the sale price

therefore

Charlie can buy 14 hats at the sale price
