Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

7/8(-32)-7/8(48x)+36=2/3(-33x)-2/3(18)-10x

= -224/8-336x/8+36

=-66x/3-36/3-10x.

Simplifying the fractions

-28-42x+36=-22x-12-10x.

Combining like terms

-42x+8=-32x-12.

Add 32x to both sides:

-42x+8+32x=-32x-12+32x

-10x+8=-12.

Subtract 8 from both sides:

-10x+8-8=-12-8

-10x=-20.

Divide both sides by -10:

-10x/-10 = -20/-10

x=2.

The local orchestra has been invited to play at a festival. There are 111 members of the orchestra and 6 are licensed to drive l

- 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

Answer:

StartFraction 1 Over 15 EndFraction left-parenthesis 10 h plus 60 right-parenthesis equals StartFraction 1 Over 10 Endfraction left-parenthesis 10 h right-parenthesis

Step-by-step explanation:

The desired equation equates 1/15 of the amount Lindsay earned with 1/10 the amount without the bonus:

StartFraction 1 Over 15 EndFraction left-parenthesis 10 h plus 60 right-parenthesis equals StartFraction 1 Over 10 Endfraction left-parenthesis 10 h right-parenthesis
