A printing company sells small packages of personalized stationery for $7 each, medium
packages for $12 each, and large packages for $15 each. Yesterday, the company sold 9
packages of stationery, collecting a total of $86. Three times as many medium packages
were sold as large packages.

Can someone set up the question? I’m unsure of what the equations would be.

Answers

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

what's the question ? it does not say.

I assume it is "how many packages of what size were sold ?"

x = number of small packages

y = number of medium packages sold

z = number of large packages sold

x + y + z = 9

7x + 12y + 15z = 86

y = 3z

these are the 3 equations we get out of the question.

we put the third equation into the other two :

x + 3z + z = x + 4z = 9

7x + 12×3z + 15z = 7x + 36z + 15z = 7x + 51z = 86

it of this first equation we get

x = -4z + 9

and putting that into the other equation :

7×(-4z + 9) + 51z = 86

-28z + 63 + 51z = 86

23z = 23

z = 1

y = 3z = 3×1 = 3

x = -4z + 9 = -4×1 + 9 = -4 + 9 = 5

so, 5 small, 3 medium and 1 large packages were sold.

Evaluate the expression m+np−q if m=1/15, n=−1/3, p=−0.4, and q=2 1/3. Express your answer as a decimal. Use bar notation if necessary.

Answers

Answer:

-2.4, or -72/30 or -2 4/10

Step-by-step explanation:

m + np - q

m = 1/15

n = -1/3

p = -0.4

q = 2 1/3

1/15 + (1/3)(-0.4) - 2 1/3

1/15 + (-4/30) - 2 1/3

2/30 - 4/30 - 70/30

-2/30 - 70/30 = -72/30

-72/30 = -2.4

B. (-3, 1)
C. (-1, 3)
D. (1,-3)

Please explain

Answers

Answer:

x = 1

y = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 2 ways, in this case the best way is by substitution so:

y = x - 4

y = -3x

basically you replace one of the unknown numbers in one of the equations so the equation will have only one unknown number.

y = -3x

so that means that

-3x = x - 4

you solve the equation:

-3x - x = -4

-4x = -4

x = -4 : -4

x = 1

Now we know that x is 1 so now we find out what is y

y = 1 - 4

y = -3

the reciprocal of 5 and 4/9

Answers

Answer:

1/5 and 9/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Reciprocal is basically the vertically flipped version of the original number. To find the reciprocal, rewrite the numbers in fractions and then swap the numerator and the denominator. So 5/1 becomes 1/5, 4/9 becomes 9/4.

the reciprocal of 5 will be 1/5. the reciprocal of 4/9 will be 9/4.

What is a expression? What is a mathematical equation? What is Equation Modelling? What is the reciprocal of a number?

A mathematical expression is made up of terms (constants and variables) separated by mathematical operators. A mathematical equation is used to equate two expressions. Equation modelling is the process of writing a mathematical verbal expression in the form of a mathematical expression for correct analysis, observations and results of the given problem. The reciprocal of a number [x] is given by [1/x].

We have the following numbers -

5 and 4/9

We can write -

x = 5

y = 4/9

So, the reciprocal of [x] would be [1/x]. Therefore, the reciprocal of 5 will be 1/5.

The reciprocal of [y] would be [1/y]. Therefore, the reciprocal of 4/9 will be 9/4.

Therefore -

the reciprocal of 5 will be 1/5. the reciprocal of 4/9 will be 9/4.

#SPJ2

find the least length of a rod which can be cut into exactly epual strips,each of either 36cm or 42cm in length​

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

so, we need to find the smallest common multiple of 36 and 42.

that is the smallest number I can divide both by 36 and 42 without remain.

let's use the method of basic prime factors (we start with the smallest fitting prime number - 2 is a prime number too - and divide as often as possible, then continue with the next bigger prime number, until there is nothing left to divide) :

36 / 2 = 18

18 / 2 = 9

9 / 3 = 3

3 / 3 = 1 finished

therefore,

36 = 2×2×3×3

42 / 2 = 21

21 / 3 = 7

7 / 5 does not work

7 / 7 = 1 finished

therefore,

42 = 2×3×7

to find the smallest common multiple (SCM) we check the maximum length of each prime factor sequence.

and we see 2 times 2, 2 times 3 and 1 time 7.

so, the SCM = 2×2×3×3×7 = 252.

there is no smaller number that can be divided by both 36 and 42 without remain.

so, the rod must be at least 252 cm long to cut it into equally long pieces of either 36 cm (7 pieces) or 42 cm (6 pieces).

Answer:

[tex]\LARGE\mathsf{slope\:=\:\frac{9}{5}}[/tex]

y-intercept: (0, 32), b = 32

[tex]\LARGE\mathsf{y\:=\:\frac{9}{5}x\:+\:32}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given (0, 32) as the freezing point of water in Celsius and Farenheit, and (100, 212) as the boiling point of water in Celsius and Farenheit.

Slope

Use these points to solve for the slope of their line.

Let (x₁, y₁) = (0, 32)

    (x₂, y₂) = (100, 212)

Substitute these points into the following formula for the slope:

[tex]\LARGE\mathsf{m = \frac {(y_2\: -\: y_1)}{(x_2\: -\: x_1)}}[/tex]

[tex]\LARGE\mathsf{m = \frac {(212\: -\: 32)}{(100\: -\: 0)}\:= \frac {180}{100}}[/tex]

[tex]\LARGE\mathsf{m\:=\:\frac{9}{5}}[/tex]

Therefore, the slope of the line is  [tex]\LARGE\mathsf{m\:=\:\frac{9}{5}}[/tex].

Y-intercept:

Next, the given problem asks for the value of the y-intercept.  The y-intercept is the point on the graph where it crosses the y-axis, with its coordinates occurring at point, (0, b ). Thus, the y-intercept provides the value of y when its corresponding x-coordinate is 0.

To solve for the y-intercept, b, we must choose one of the given points, (100, 212), and the slope, [tex]\LARGE\mathsf{m\:=\:\frac{9}{5}}[/tex], and substitute these values into the slope-intercept form, y = mx + b:

y = mx + b

[tex]\LARGE\mathsf{212\:=\:\frac{9}{5}(100)\:+\+b}[/tex]

212 = 180 + b

Subtract 180 from both sides to isolate b:

212 - 180 = 180 - 180 + b

32 = b

The y-intercept is (0, 32), where b = 32.

Slope-intercept form:

Given the slope, [tex]\LARGE\mathsf{m\:=\:\frac{9}{5}}[/tex],  and the y-intercept, b = 32:

The linear equation in slope-intercept form is:  [tex]\LARGE\mathsf{y\:=\:\frac{9}{5}x\:+\:32}[/tex]

Answer:

Choice D

Step-by-step explanation:

Factorise: 4x²-9y²

We can obtain the factorization by this identity:

a² - b² = (a+b)(a-b)

Rewrite the given expression as:

(2x)² - (3y)²

Let (2x)² be a and (3y)² be b according to the identity.

So applying the identity:

(2x+3y)(2x-3y)(2x-3y)(2x+3y)

Choice D is accurate.

taxi Cab Company B: $6.50 per ride and $0.50 per mile

Express in the table the cost of the cab ride given the number of miles. Hint: Fill in the table above using cost for company B.
Write an equation in slope-intercept form to represent the cost of a taxi ride using company B. Hint: use y= mx+b
Y = __________________
What does the slope mean in the context of this problem?
Hint: What changes the further you ride?

Answers

Using the slope - intercept relation, the equation which represents the cost of cab ride is y = 0.5x + 6.50

Cost per ride = $6.50Cost per mile = $0.50

Using the slope - intercept relation :

y = bx + c

b = change in cost per mile

c = constant price added for every taxi ride

Hence, the expression can be written thus :

y = 0.5x + 6.50
