A + B + C = 476
A = 3B + 6
C = B + 45

now its just a matter of subbing..
A + B + C = 476
(3B + 6) + B + (B + 45) = 476...combine like terms
5B + 51 = 476
5B = 476 - 51
5B = 425
B = 425/5
B = 85 <== team B scored 85

A = 3B + 6
A = 3(85) + 6
A = 255 + 6
A = 261 <=== team A scored 261

C = B + 45
C = 85 + 45
C = 130 <=== team C scored 130

Answer:

d. Team C scored 130 points.

Explanation:

I took the test and got it right.

Step 1: Write down the equation. (3x + 6) + (x + 45) + x = 476.

Step 2: Add like terms. 5x + 51 = 476.

Step 3: Subtract 51 from both sides to isolate the variable. 5x + 51 - 51 = 476 - 51 is converted to 5x = 425.

Step 4: Divide both sides by 5 to find x. You get 85 so x = 85.

After finding x substitute x for 85 and check each statement.

(3 × 85 + 6) equals 261 so a. and b. are wrong.

(85 + 45) equals 130 so c. is wrong. d. is the right answer.

vfiekz [6]

we are given

In a particularly sunny month, Solaire's solar panels generated 110 percent as much power as expected.

so, we need to change percent into fraction to get our value

we can write

110%=\frac{110}{100}

now, we can simplify it

and we get

110%=\frac{11}{10}

so,

Solaire's solar panels generate \frac{11}{10} of the expected amount of power.............Answer

Use a daily production cost C for x units. A manufacturer of gas grills has daily production costs of C = 400 – 5x + 0.125x2, wh
Lady bird [3.3K]
The function given is a quadratic function, so the graph will be a parabola. It'll look similar to the photo attached. The minimum cost will be at the vertex of the parabola because that is its lowest point! To find the x-value of the vertex (which is what the question is looking for), use the vertex formula: x = -b/2a. The variable b is the coefficient of the x term in the function, and the variable a is the coefficient of the x² term. In this case, a = 0.125 and b = -5.
x = -(-5)/2(0.125)
x = 5/0.25
x = 20
So, 20 gas grills should be produced each day to maintain minimum costs. Hope that helps! :)

What is the value of n in the equation –negative StartFraction one-half EndFraction left-parenthesis 2 n plus 4 right-parenthesi
fgiga [73]

Answer:

Solution to equation: n = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following equation:

-\dfrac{1}{2}(2n + 4) + 6 = -9 + 4(2n + 1)

We have to solve the equation to find the value of n.

Solving the equation, we get,

-\dfrac{1}{2}(2n + 4) + 6 = -9 + 4(2n + 1)\\\\-\dfrac{1}{2}(2n + 4)-4(2n+1) = -9-6\\\\-n-2-8n-4 = -15\\\Rightarrow -9n = -15 + 6\\\Rightarrow -9n = -9\\\Rightarrow n = 1

Thus, value of n is 1.
