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.

Part A: Rhett made $250 washing cars with his mobile car wash company. He charges $70 per car and earned $50 in tips. Write an e

Alborosie

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Total Amount made = $250

Amount charged = $70 per car

Tips earned = $50

Equation 1 to represent the above

(Amount charged per car × number of cars) + tips earned = total amount made

Let number of cars = c

Hence,

$70c + $50 = $250

Part B:

Total Amount made = $250

Amount charged = $75 per car

Tips earned = $35

Cost of supplies per car washed = $5

Equation 2:

(Amount charged per car × number of cars) + tips earned - (cost of supplies × number of cars) = total amount made

$75c + $35 - $5c = $250

$70c + $35 = $250

C) Equation 1 does not include the cost incurred in getting the car washed while equation 2 takes into account the cost incurred in washing a car which is then subtracted from the amount charged per car. Also the tips earned in equation 1 is $50 while equation has a tips fee of $35

Company A charges $331.35 per week for a compact car with unlimited miles. Company B charges $175 per week plus $0.53 per mile,

Vladimir [108]

Answer:

Company A is a better deal than Company B for the number of miles greater than 295 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

y ----> the charge per week in dollars

x ----> the number of miles

we have

Company A

$y=331.35$ -----> equation A

Company B

$y=0.53x+175$ -----> equation B

Solve the system by substitution

Equate equation A and equation B and solve for x

$331.35=0.53x+175$

$0.53x=331.35-175\\0.53x=156.35\\x=295\ mi$

For x=295 miles the charge in Company A and Company B is the same

therefore

Company A is a better deal than Company B for the number of miles greater than 295 miles

The diagram shows parallel lines cut by two transversal lines creating a triangle. Which statements are true? Check all that app

vitfil [10]

Answer:

$m$

Step-by-step explanation:

Verify each statement

case A) $m$

The statement is True

we know that

The measure of angle A is equal to the angle marked $20\°$ by corresponding angles

case B) ∠B and the angle marked $60\°$ are alternate exterior angles

The statement is False

Because, ∠B and the angle marked $60\°$ are corresponding angles

case C) $m$ because it is a vertical angle to the angle marked $100\°$

The statement is True

we know that

$m$ ------> by vertical angles

case D) ∠B and ∠C are supplementary angles

The statement is False

we know that

$m$ ---> the sum is less than $180\°$

case E) $m$

The statement is True

we know that

$m$

and remember that

$m$

substitute

$m$

Three cats and three dogs, A, B, C, D, E, and F, live on a street in three different-coloured houses. Each house hosts one cat a

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

1) A is a cat; B is a dog; C is a cat; D is a dog; E is a dog; F is a cat

2) A lives with B in a yellow house; C lives with D in a blue house; E lives with F in a red house.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: First we identify the animals as cats or dogs

A is a cat

B is a Dog

Since B can live with C, C is a cat

Since D can live with A, D is a dog

F is a cat since it can live with D

E is therefore, a dog

Step 2: We then identify the house each two animals live in pairs of a cat and a dog

D lives in a blue house

A lives in a yellow house since it does not live with D or in a red house

C lives with D in a blue house since D does not live with either A or F

E lives in a red house since it does not live with A or in a yellow house

F lives with E in a red house since E does not live with A

Therefore, B lives with A in a yellow house
