8. Finley has 152 yellow, red, and blue marbles in a bag. He has seven more red marbles than yellow marbles, and three times as

many blue marbles as yellow marbles. How many yellow marbles does Finley have? Write an equation to represent this problem. Then solve the equation. A. x + x + 7 + 5x = 152; x = 21 B. x + x + 7 + 3x = 152; x = 29 C. x + x + 7 + x = 152; x = 48 D. x + x + 7 + 2x = 152; x = 36

Let number of yellow marbles = x

Let number of red marbles = y

Let number of blue marbles = z


Given that Finley has 152 yellow, red, and blue marbles in a bag.

So we get equation:

x+y+z=152...(i)


"He has seven more red marbles than yellow marbles" means:

y=x+7...(ii)

"three times as many blue marbles as yellow marbles." means:

z=3x...(iii)

Now we just need to solve those equations to find the answer.


Plug (ii) and (iii) into (i)


x+(x+7)+(3x)=152

x+x+7+3x=152

Which looks similar to choice (B)


5x+7=152

5x=145

x=29

Hence final answer is choice B.

Required equation is

x+x+7+3x=152

Number of yellow marbles = 29

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

A boat tour guide expects his tour to travel at a rate of x mph on the first leg of the trip

On the return route, the boat travels against the current, decreasing the boat's rate by 10 mph

The group needs to travel an average of at least 24 mph

<em><u>Given inequality is:</u></em>

\frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{x} - 10\geq \frac{2}{24}

<em><u>We have to solve the inequality</u></em>

\frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{x} - 10\geq \frac{2}{24}\\\\\frac{2}{x}  - 10\geq \frac{2}{24}

\mathrm{Subtract\:}\frac{2}{24}\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\\\\frac{2}{x}-10-\frac{2}{24}\ge \frac{2}{24}-\frac{2}{24}\\\\Simplify\\\\\frac{2}{x}-10-\frac{2}{24}\ge \:0

\frac{2}{x}-\frac{10}{1}-\frac{2}{24} \geq 0\\\\\frac{ 2 \times 24}{x \times 24} -\frac{10 \times 24}{1 \times 24} - \frac{2 \times x }{24 \times x}\geq 0\\\\\frac{48}{24x}-\frac{240x}{24x}-\frac{2x}{24x}\geq 0\\\\Since\:the\:denominators\:are\:equal,\:combine\:the\:fractions\\\\\frac{48-240x-2x}{24x}\geq 0\\\\Add\:similar\:elements\\\\\frac{48-242x}{24x}\ge \:0

\mathrm{Multiply\:both\:sides\:by\:}24\\\\\frac{24\left(48-242x\right)}{24x}\ge \:0\cdot \:24\\\\Simplify\\\\\frac{48-242x}{x}\ge \:0\\\\Factor\ common\ terms\\\\\frac{-2\left(121x-24\right)}{x}\ge \:0\\\\\mathrm{Multiply\:both\:sides\:by\:}-1\mathrm{\:\left(reverse\:the\:inequality\right)}

When we multiply or divide both sides by negative number, then we must flip the inequality sign

\frac{\left(-2\left(121x-24\right)\right)\left(-1\right)}{x}\le \:0\cdot \left(-1\right)\\\\\frac{2\left(121x-24\right)}{x}\le \:0\\\\\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}2\\\\\frac{\frac{2\left(121x-24\right)}{x}}{2}\le \frac{0}{2}\\\\Simplify\\\\\frac{121x-24}{x}\le \:0

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

The area of larger table is 24 square feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given are the length and width of small table

l_s = 2\ ft\\w_s = 3\ ft

The area of a rectangular table is calculated by multiplying the length and width. It is also given that the length and width of the larger table is double the length and width of small table

So the length and width of larger table will be:

l_l = 2*2 = 4\ feet\\w_l = 3*2 = 6\ feet

The area of larger table will be:

A_l = l_l*w_l\\= 4 * 6\\=24\ ft^2

Hence,

The area of larger table is 24 square feet.

Each time Kristine gets paid, she spends $20 and saves the rest. If the amount Kristine earns is represented by x and the amount
faust18 [17]

We are given that Kristine spends $20 and saves the rest each time she get paid.

We can use slope-intercept form y=mx+b to represent the equation.

Where x represents the amount Kristine earns and y represents the amount she saves.

Kristine spends $20. Therefore b= -20.

Plugging mx as just x and b=-20.

<h3>y = x-20.</h3><h3>If we plug y=0, we get </h3><h3>0 = x-20</h3><h3>x=20.</h3><h3>We can see in 4th option we have x-intercept =20.</h3><h3>Therefore, correct option is 4th option. </h3><h3 />
