- 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
--------------------------------------------
Define x:
--------------------------------------------
Let the tie be x
Tie = x
Shirt = x - 4.02
--------------------------------------------
Construct equation :
--------------------------------------------
The sum of the shirt and tie is $75.62
x + x -4.02 = 75.62
2x - 4.02 = 75.62
2x = 79.64
x = $39.82
--------------------------------------------
Find the cost of tie and shirt :
--------------------------------------------
Tie = x = $39.82
Shirt = x - $4.02 = $39.82 - $4.02 = $35.80
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: The price of the short is $35.80
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We need to find the quotient of the given division problem.
In order to find its quotient, we will use long division.
)
First of all, we put x in the quotient as 
goes into 
, x times.
So, we get:
)(x
Upon subtracting, we get:
We can see that goes into 
, -2 times, therefore, the next term in the quotient will be -2. This makes our quotient as (x-2).
7 3/4 × 3/4 = So u add 3×3=9
Then add 4×4=16 Give you 9/16
Then you add that 7 you left out with 9/16
But just the 9 not the 16
7 × 9 = 63 And your answer is 63/16
Hope i help :-)
