This question is not correct because one of its options was not written correctly.

Correct question:

Jackie bought a 3-pack of tubes of glue. She used 0.27 ounce of the glue from the 3-pack

and had 1.35 ounces left in total. Which describes a way to determine the number of ounces

sold in each tube of glue?

a) Solve for x in the equation 3x - 0.27 = 1.35.

b) Divide 1.35 by 3 and then subtract 0.27 from the quotient.

c) Subtract 0.27 from 1.35 and the divide the difference by 3.

d) Solve for w in the equation 3 (x - 0.27) = 1.35.

Answer:

a) Solve for x in the equation 3x - 0.27 = 1.35.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that 0.27 ounces of glue was sold from a 3 pack glue and we have 1.35 ounces of glue left in total.

The first step would be represent the 3 pack of glue as 3x where x represents each pack of the glue.

Therefore, mathematically, we have the Algebraic equation:

3x - 0.27 = 1.35..... Equation 1

This is because when we solve for x, we would be able to find the number of ounces sold in each tube.

Solving for x in the equation 3x - 0.27 = 1.35.

3x - 0.27 = 1.35.

3x = 1.35 + 0.27

3x = 1.62 ...... Equation 2

3x = The three pack tube containing the glue.

Where x represents each of the tubes.

This means, the three pack tube contained 1.62 ounces of glue.

To find out he amount of glue sold from each pack, we go back to our equation 2

3x = 1.62

x = 1.62 ÷ 3

x = 0.54 ounces.

This means from each tubes, 0.54 ounces of glue was sold.

Therefore, Option a) "Solve for x in the equation 3x - 0.27 = 1.35" is correct.

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Velocity with wind = 1,980 / 4.5 = 440 mph
Velocity against wind =1,980 / 5.5 = 360 mph
Plane in still air - wind speed = 360
Plane in still air + wind speed =440
Adding both equations:
2*Plane in still air = 800
Plane in still air = 400 mph
Plane in still air + wind speed =440
Therefore, wind speed = 40 mph

5 Adoncia makes a scale drawing of the front of

Molodets [167]

Answer:

Since the length of the drawing is 200 ft. and equivalent to 13.33 in. with a scale of 15 ft to 1 in. and the length of the paper is 11 in., Adoncia's drawing will not fit on the sheet of paper

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The scale of the drawing is 15 ft = 1 in.

The actual dimensions of the monument;

Height = 80 ft.

Length = 200 ft.

Therefore, we have;

The required dimension of the paper height = 80/15 = 16/3 = 5.33 in.

The required dimension of the paper length = 200/15 = 40/3 = 13.33 in.

The given paper dimension by 11 in. which is of a dimension of that of a standard letter paper size of 8.5 in. by 11 in.

Drawing length, 13.33 in. > Paper length > 11 in.

Adoncia's drawing will not fit on the sheet of paper.

We can model this situation as a system of linear equation, where n is the number of nickels and q is the number of quarters.

$\left \{ {{0.05n + 0.25q=8.10} \atop {0.25n+0.05q=17.70}} \right.$

Solving the system of equations, there are 67 nickels and 19 quarters.
