Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Number of comic books is 75.

Original price of each comic book is 4$.

Step-by-step explanation:

Tayla Purchased A Large Box Of Comic Books For $300. She Gave 15 Of The Comic Books To Her Brother And
Answer 2

There were 75 comics in the box originally.

What is an equation?

An equation is the statement of equality between two expressions consisting of variables and/or numbers.

Given that, Tayla purchased a large box of comic books for $300. She gave 15 of the comic books to her brother and then sold the rest on an internet website for $330, making a profit of $1.50 on each one.

Let x be the number of comics originally

(x - 15) is the number of comics sold.

Original price of each comic = 300/x

Price of comics which she gave to brother = 15*300/x

Original price of all the books that has been sold  = 300 - 15*300/x

Tayla's profit = 330 - (300 - 15*300/x) = 30 + 15*300/x

Number of comics sold = (30 + 15*300/x)/1.5

Equation will be,

(30 + 15*300/x)/1.5 = x - 15

20 + 3000/x = x - 15

(x² - 15x - 3000)/x = 20

x² - 35x - 3000 = 0

On factorizing the quadratic equation, we get,

x = 75 or -40 (Neglecting -40, because number of books can't be negative)

Hence, there were 75 comic books in the box originally.

how many 3/5s are in 9/10

Answers

Answer:they are only 2

Step-by-step explanation:

3/5 + 3/5 = 6/10 so you need a 6/5 + 3/5 and it will equal 9/10

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3/5's = 6/10 and 6/10 plus 6/10 would be 12/10 so only 1 3/5's can fit.

You earn
$10 per hour working as a manager at a grocery store.
You are required to work at the grocery store at least
8 hours per week. You also teach music lessons for
$15 per hour. You need to earn at least $120 per week,
$
do not want to work more than 20 hours
but you
per week.
a. Write and graph a system of linear inequalities
that represents the situation.
b. Identify and interpret a solution of the system.
c. Use the graph to determine whether you can work
8 hours at the grocery store and teach 1 hour of
music lessons.

Answers

We want to get a system of inequalities that models the given situation.

The solutions are:

a) The system is:

x ≥ 8x*$10 + y*$15 ≥ $120x + y ≤ 20.y ≥ 0

And the graph can be seen at the end.

b) A solution can be x = 12 and y = 2

c) x = 8 and y = 1 is not a solution.

First, we need to define two variables:

x = number of hours working as a manager.y = number of hours teaching lessons.

a) First, we know that you must at least 8 hours per week in the grocery store, then:

x ≥ 8

We know that you need to earn at least $120 per week, then we have the inequality:

x*$10 + y*$15 ≥ $120

And you don't want to work more than 20 hours per week, this gives:

x + y ≤ 20.

We also add the trivial restriction:

y ≥ 0

Then the system is:

x ≥ 8x*$10 + y*$15 ≥ $120x + y ≤ 20.y ≥ 0

The graph can be seen at the end.

b) The solution region is the interception of the four shaded regions (is the dark blue part).

A solution in that region can be:

x = 12

y = 2

c) The point x = 8, y = 1 is graphed, you can see that it is outside the solution region, thus, this is not a solution.

Answers

Answer:

y=9, x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

2x-y=5 --> equation 1

2x-5y=-31 --> equation 2

change signs of equation 1

-2x+y=-5

solving method

-2x+y=-5                   (cut -2x and 2x because -2x+2x =0)

2x-5y=-31                       (likewise +y-5y and -5-31)

-4y= -36            (since -4 is multiplying on right side it will divide)

y= -36/-4             (cut negative with negative and simplify equation)

y= 9                  

put value of y in equation 1

2x-y=5

2x-9=5

2x= 14

x=14/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Total=70.

Last week she posted= 2/5 of 70= She posted 28 last week

So, 42 left

then, she posted 4/7 of remaining (42)

4/7 of 42 is 24

42-24= 18

She still needs to post 18 flyers

HOPE THIS HELPS!

Answer:

OK, so she started with 70 fliers.

Last week, she posted 2/5 of them. 2/5 of 70 is equal to 28, so she has 28 fliers less than she started with. 70-28=42.

This week, she posted 4/7 of the remaining fliers (42). 4/7 of 42 is equal to 24. So, she has 24 less than 42, so 42-24=18.

She still needs to post 18 fliers.

[tex]\frac{c}{4} +5 = 7[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The wording, "the quotient of a number and 4," can be displayed as c/4. C would be our variable for the number because the question asks specifically for it. 5 more would demonstrate that we're adding 5 more to our equation. Which would result in c/4 + 5. However, since it equals 7, just add that portion to create the following equation:

[tex]\frac{c}{4} +5 = 7[/tex]

Answer:

c / 4 + 5 = 7

Hope this helps!

Step-by-step explanation:

5 + ( more )  than the quotient ( division ) of a number and ( + ) 4 is ( = ) 7

5 + c / 4 = 7

Answers

Factor the polynomial.

The factor of the expression 9y² + 21yz⁴ - 8y² will be y and (y + 21z⁴).

What is factorization?

It is a method for dividing a polynomial into pieces that will be multiplied together. At this moment, the polynomial's value will be zero.

The definition of simplicity is making something simpler to achieve or grasp while also making it a little less difficult.

The expression is given below.

⇒ 9y² + 21yz⁴ - 8y²

Simplify the expression, then we have

⇒ 9y² + 21yz⁴ - 8y²

⇒ y² + 21yz⁴

Factorize the expression, then we have

⇒ y² + 21yz⁴

⇒ y(y + 21z⁴)

The factor of the expression 9y² + 21yz⁴ - 8y² will be y and (y + 21z⁴).

A bike that weighs 22 pounds and 3 ounces weighs a total of ____ounces.

Answers

Answer:

355 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay! We're going to have to use some conversion factors for this problem, since we're working with two different units (pounds and ounces). We know that there are 16 ounces in a pound - that's our first conversion factor. We can use it to write up a little equation to help us:

[tex]\frac{22lbs}{1} *\frac{16oz}{1lb} + 3 = x[/tex]

"x" is the total amount of ounces. Does everything in that equation make sense? The first multiplication part tells us how many ounces are in 22 pounds, and the second part (+ 3) adds the 3 ounces that were there from the beginning. Now, it's time to calculate.

[tex]\frac{22bs}{1} *\frac{16oz}{1lb} + 3 = x\\[/tex]

[tex]\frac{352oz}{1} + 3 = x[/tex]

[tex]352+3 = x[/tex]

[tex]x=355[/tex]

So, there are 355 ounces in a bike that weighs 22 pounds and 3 ounces. Hopefully that's helpful! :)
