- Make an equation representing the number of vehicles needed.
We have six drivers so
x + y ≤ 6
That's not really an equation; it's an inequality. We want to use all our drivers so we can use the small vans, so
x + y = 6
- Make an equation representing the total number of seats in vehicles for the orchestra members.
s = 25x + 12y
That's how many seats total; it has to be at least 111 so again an inequality,
25x + 12y ≥ 111
We solve it like a system of equations.
x + y = 6
y = 6 - x
111 = 25x + 12y = 25x + 12(6-x)
111 = 25x + 72 - 12x
111 - 72 = 13 x
39 = 13 x
x = 3
Look at that, it worked out exactly. It didn't have to.
y = 6 - x = 3
Answer: 3 buses, 3 vans
Given
Elysse paid for her sandwich and drink with a $10 bill and received $0.63 in change.
The sandwich cost $7.75 and sales tax was $0.47.
Find out the cost of her drink
To proof
Let the cost of her drink be x.
As given in the question
Elysse paid for her sandwich and drink with a $10 bill and received $0.63 in change.
Elysse paid for her sandwich and drink = 10 - 0.63
= $ 9.37
sandwich cost $7.75 and sales tax was $0.47
Than the equation becomes
x = 9.37 - (7.75 + 0.47)
x = 9.37 - 8.22
x = $ 1.15
The cost of the drink is $ 1.15.
Hence proved
Given that the first mass of the duck is 0.05 kg and it gains weight at a rate of 0.042 kg/week, the equation that would represent this scenario is,
y = 0.05 + 0.042x
where y is weight and x is the number of weeks. To determine the number of weeks in which the duck's mass becomes 0.890,
0.890 = 0.05 + 0.042x
The value of x from the equation is 20.
Gallons per day.......gallons / day.....so u put the gallons over the number of days, then divide
(1/2) / 6 = 1/2 * 1/6 = 1/12 of a gallon per day <==
