Answer 1

The cost of book case be $ 11.6.

What is linear equation?

A linear equation is an equation in which the highest power of the variable is always 1. It is also known as a one-degree equation. The standard form of a linear equation in one variable is of the form

                                       Ax + B = 0.

Here, let the cost of book case be $ x

       and the cost of pencil case be $ y

Now, Helen purchased 3 books and 2 pencils in $ 74.

         3x + 2y = 74    .......(i)

Cost of pencil case $ 8 less than the book.

          y - 8 = x      ............(ii)

put the value of x in equation (i), we get

    3(y - 8) + 2y = 74

    3y - 24 + 2y = 74

    5y = 74 + 24

     5y = 98

      y = 98/5

      y = $ 19.6

put the value of y in equation (ii), we get

   x = y -8

   x = 19.6 - 8

   x = $ 11.6

Thus, the cost of book case be $ 11.6.

5|2x+6|=26...can someone answer this please

Answers

Answer:

x = -2/5 or x = -28/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

5(|2x+6|)=26

Step 1: Divide both sides by 5.

5(|2x+6|)/5 = 26/5

|2x+6|=26/5

Step 2: Solve Absolute Value.

|2x+6|=26/5

We know either2x+6= 26/5 r2x+6=−26/5

2x + 6 = 26/5(Possibility 1)

2x+6−6= 26/5 - 6 (Subtract 6 from both sides)

2x = -4/5

2x/2 = -4/5/2 (Divide both sides by 2)

x = -2/5

2x + 6=-26/5 (Possibility 2)

2x+6= -26/5 (Simplify both sides of the equation)

2x + 6 - 6 = -26/5  - 6 (Subtract 6 from both sides)

2x = -56/5

2x/2 = -56/5/2(Divide both sides by 2)
x = -28/5

Answer:

x = -2/5 or x = -28/5

Hosting a dinner party for 38 people, you plan to serve peach pie for dessert.
Each pie has 8 slices. How many pies must you buy to ensure each guest
gets 1 slice?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

As host, we want to insure each guest has at least one slice of pie.  We can say  (1 Slice/Guest) and use this as a conversion factor.  We also know each pie has 8 slices:  (8 Slices/1 Pie).  Since this is a conversion factor, we can invert it to (1 Pie/8 Slices).  We expect 38 people and want to convert that number of people to the number of pies, p, we need.

  p (pies) [tex]\geq[/tex] (38 Guests)*(1 Slice/Guest)*(1 Pie/8 Slices)

We use the [tex]\geq[/tex] sign to note that we need a minimum of pies to be sure everyone is served.

p (pies) [tex]\geq[/tex] (38 )*(1 /)*(1 Pie/8 )

Note how the units cancel:

Guests and Slices both cancel and we are left with pies as the only remaining unit, as we hoped we'd see.

p [tex]\geq[/tex] (38/8) pies

p = 4 +(6/8) pies

Since we cannot purchase 6/8 of a pie, we need to round up to 5 pies.

5 pies, at 8 slices per pie, will provide 40 servings, enough for the 38 guests.

Answers

Answer:

$305.9022863 or $305.90 (rounded to 2 decimal places)

Step-by-step explanation:

It is a compound interest, meaning an interest accumulates on an initial amount every period. The formula  

A= P(1+R)^n

A= the total amount P=Initial amount       R= rate  n=time period

P=$100 R=15% or 0.15(decimal)  n=8 (years)  

A= 100 (1.15)^8

A= 100(3.059022863)

A=305.9022863

The amount you will have after 8 years is $220

Calculating simple interest

The formula for calculating simple interest is expressed as:

SI =PRT

P is the principal = $100

T is the time = 8 years

R is the rate. = 15%

SI = 100 * 8 * 0.15
SI = $120

Amount after 8years = $100 + $120
Amount after 8years = $220

Write an expression for each membership cost for m months and subtract them.

Answers

Answer: Difference in membership costs after m months = -($24.96m + $34.94)

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of Zippy health club = $49.95 + $19.95 per month

Cost of Be strong = $24.99 per month and $10 off the first month

Total cost after m months of Zippy health club = $49.95 + $19.95m

Total cost after m months of Be strong = $24.99 (m - 1) + $ 10

Difference in membership costs after m months ={ $24.99m - $24.99 + $10 ]-[$49.95m + $19.95}

=$(24.99 - 49.95) m -$14.99 - $19.95

= -$24.96m - $34.94

=-($24.96m + $34.94)

So Difference in membership costs after m months =-($24.96m + $34.94)

Answers

Answer:

Using the concept of equation of line, we find that the relationship will be

C = $6.5p.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the cost per head is $6.5 and there are p persons entering the car, then the total amount would be $6.5p.

The final equation would resemble the equation of line y = mx + c.

The expression for the total cost C, would be

C = 6.5p.

Here y = C, x = p, m = 6.5 and c = 0.

So, the expression for the total cost will be the equation of line C = 6.5p.
