The school athletic director had a budget of $500 to purchase 164 items
for the soccer team. She purchased vests for $2.50 each, soccer balls for
$9.25 each, and cones for $0.75 each. She purchased 40 more cones than
balls. How many of each item can purchase?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: She purchased 72 cones, 32 balls, and 60 vests.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of items is 164.

The price of the vests is $2.50 each.

The price of the soccer balls is $9.25 each.

The price of the cones is $0.75 each.

The total budget was  $500.

If V is the number of vests, B the number of balls, and C the number of cones, we have that:

V + B + C = 164.

V*$2.50 + B*$9.25 + C*$0.75 = $500.

and:

"She purchased 40 more cones than  balls."

C = B + 40.

Then we have a system of 3 equations and 3 variables:

V + B + C = 164.

V*$2.50 + B*$9.25 + C*$0.75 = $500.

C = B + 40.

Here the first step is to replace the third equation into the other two, in this way we eliminate one variable and one equation:

V + B + (B + 40) = 164

V*$2.50 + B*$9.25 + (B + 40)*$0.75 = $500.

Now we want to isolate one variable in one of the equations, i will isolate V in the first equation:

V = 164 - 2*B - 40 = 124 - 2*B

Now i can replace this into the other equation:

(124 - 2*B)*$2.50 + B*$9.25 + (B + 40)*$0.75 = $500

Now let's solve this for B.

$310 - $5*B + B*$9.25 + B*$0.75 + $30 = $500

B*( $9.25 - $5 + $0.75) = $500 - $310 - $30

B*$5 = $160

B = 160/5 =  32

Now we know the value of B.

And by the equations above:

V = 124 -2*B = 124 - 2*32 = 60

C = B + 40 = 32 + 40 = 72.

Then:

She purchased 72 cones, 32 balls and 60 vests.

3x + 1 = 5X-13 if anyone knows what to do can they please help ​

Answers

Answer:

  x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you look at the equation. Identify the locations of variable terms (both sides of the equal sign) and the constant terms (both sides of the equal sign).

If there are any parentheses, it is a good idea to use the distributive property to eliminate them. Here, there are none.

I like to start by subtracting the variable term with the smallest coefficient. Here, that is 3x, so we add -3x to both sides of the equation.

  3x -3x +1 = 5x -3x -13

  1 = 2x -13 . . . . . . . . . . . . combine like terms

Now, we have the only variable term on one side of the equal sign. We want it by itself, so we need to make the -13 go away. We do that by adding its opposite to both sides of the equation:

  1 +13 = 2x -13 +13

  14 = 2x . . . . . . . . . . . . combine like terms

Finally, we want the coefficient of 2 in the x-term to disappear. We make that happen by multiplying both sides of the equation by 1/2, the reciprocal of that coefficient.

  (1/2)(14) = (1/2)(2x)

  7 = x . . . . the solution

__

It is generally a good idea to check your work by seeing if your solution value satisfies the equation:

  3(7) +1 = 5(7) -13 . . . . put 7 where x is in the original equation

  21 +1 = 35 -13

  22 = 22 . . . . . . x = 7 is the solution

_____

Additional comment

By subtracting 3x from 5x, the result is 2x with a positive coefficient. We could solve the equation just as easily by subtracting 5x from 3x. That result would be ...

  -2x +1 = -13

Subtracting 1 would give

  -2x = -14

and you would multiply by -1/2 to get x=7. I personally like to avoid having this many minus signs show up in the problem. That is why I choose to subtract the x-term with the smallest coefficient.

There is a harvest festival each year on the planet Bozone. During that time, most of the Bozone residents sit down to rejoice and eat roast snig. Past history shows that a reasonable price-demand equation is: p = 300 − 18 x where x is the number of kilograms of snig sold, and p is the price per kilogram of snig in the local currency, the Boat. a . To sell an additional kilogram of snig, how much does the price need to decrease

Answers

Answer:

The price would be decreased by 18 bozats

Step-by-step explanation:

The following information is given in the question

x = number of kilograms of snig sold

P = Price per kilogram

And, the equation is

p = 300 - 18x

Now if an extra kilogram is sold so it should be x+1

Now the new price is

New price = 300 - 18(x + 1)

= 300 - 18x - 18

Therefore the price would be decreased by 18 bozats

Given that:

Price-demand equation is

[tex]p=300-18x[/tex]

where, x is the number of kilograms of snig sold, and p is the price per kilogram of snig in the local currency, the Boat.

To find:

The price which needs to decrease to sell an additional kilogram of snig,

Solution:

We have,

[tex]p=300-18x[/tex]

If x=1, then

[tex]p=300-18(1)[/tex]

[tex]p=300-18[/tex]

[tex]p=282[/tex]

It means, the price is 282 if 1 kg of snig sold.

Similarly,

If x=2, then

[tex]p=300-18(2)[/tex]

[tex]p=300-36[/tex]

[tex]p=264[/tex]

It means, the price is 264 if 2 kg of snig sold.

Change in price if sales increased by 1 kg is

[tex]264-282=-18[/tex]

Here, negative sign means decrease in price.

Therefore, the price needs to decrease by 18 to sell an additional kilogram of snig.

Answers

Answer:

5.63

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle NLM is equal to KLM - KLN.

Since KLM = 137° and KLN = 47°, NLM = °90. (Maybe it doesn't look like a right angle, but the math doesn't lie.)

Since NLM = 16y, then 90 = 16y.

Dividing both sides by 16, we find that:

y = 5.625

Answer:

y = 5.63

Explanation:

This answer is 5.23 because ∠KLN plus ∠NLM are equal to ∠KLM or 137°.

If you subtract 47 from 137 you will get 90. If you divide 90 by 16 you will get 5.625 which is rounded to 5.63.

125 is.a perfect square or perfect cube

Answers

Answer:

Perfect cube

Step-by-step explanation:

5 x 5 x5 = 125

5x5= 25

25x5 =125

Answer:

It is a perfect cube with sides of 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

If 125 was a perfect square, there would be a whole number A which, squared, would give us 125.

[tex]A^2 = 125\\A = \pm 11.18...[/tex]

We can see that the roots are not whole numbers.

(Tip: without a calculator, we can find this by testing [tex]10^2 \ 11^2\ 12^2[/tex] to see if any give us 125. We get 100, 121, 144 respectively. None of them is 125.)

If it was a perfect cube, there would be a whole number B which, cubed, would give us 125.

[tex]B^3 = 125\\B = \sqrt[3]{125} \\B = 5[/tex]

As we can see, there IS a whole number B: 5 !

(Without a calculator, like the previous one, we could try [tex]4^3\ 5^3\ 6^3[/tex] and we'd find that [tex]5^3[/tex] = 125)

Find tan(13pi/4)-cos(pi/3)

Answers

Answer: [tex]tan(\frac{13\pi }{4})-cos(\frac{\pi }{3})=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

To find [tex]tan(\frac{13\pi }{4})-cos(\frac{\pi }{3})[/tex], we first need to understand the unit circle. Let's find the value of tan and cos before we subtract them.

[tex]tan(\frac{13\pi }{4} )[/tex] is the same as [tex]tan(\frac{5\pi }{4} )[/tex]. The point for [tex]\frac{5\pi }{4}[/tex] is (-0.5,-0.5). Tangent is [tex]\frac{sin}{cos}[/tex]. Since sin and cos are both -0.5, we can divide them.

[tex]\frac{-0.5}{-0.5} =1[/tex]

Now, we know that [tex]tan(\frac{13\pi }{4} )=1[/tex]. All we have to do is find [tex]cos(\frac{\pi }{3})[/tex].

[tex]cos(\frac{\pi }{3})=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Now that we know the values of both, we can directly subtract them.

1-0.5=0.5

Therefore, [tex]tan(\frac{13\pi }{4})-cos(\frac{\pi }{3})=\frac{1}{2}[/tex].
