Answer:

$0.75x + 0.15y = 90$

greatest number of pens =120

greatest number of pencils = 600

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of pens

Let y represent the number of pencils.

Each pen costs $0.75

Cost of x pens = 0.75 x

Each pencil costs $0.15.

Cost of y pencils = 0.15y

Now we are given that The glee club has $90 to spend on pens and pencils.

So, $0.75x + 0.15y = 90$

So,t the equation that describes the number of club pens and pencils that the glee club can buy is $0.75x + 0.15y = 90$

Part A) $0.75x + 0.15y = 90$

Part B )What is the greatest number of each type of writing tool that the club can buy?

$0.75x + 0.15y = 90$

Substitute y = 0

$0.75x = 90$

$x = \frac{90}{0.75}$

$x = 120$

greatest number of pens =120

Substitute x = 0

$0.15y= 90$

$y = \frac{90}{0.15}$

$y = 600$

greatest number of pencils = 600

Antonio graphs these equations and finds that the lines intersect at a single point, (–5, 0.25). Equation A: Equation B: 4y – 3x

Elza [17]

Given equations : Equation A: 4y -3x =16 and

Equation B: -x-8y =3.

We are given a<em> point (-5,0.25) plugging it in first equation</em>

4(0.25) -3(-5) =16

1+15 =16.

16 =16 <em>: Satisfies first equation.</em>

Plugging (-5,0.25) it in second equation.

-(-5)-8(0.25) =3.

5 - 2 = 3.

3=3 <em>: Satisfies first equation.</em>

<h3>Therefore, they are the only values that make both equations true.</h3>

1. Find an odd natural number x such that LCM (x, 40)= 1400

aleksklad [387]

The odd natural number which is mentioned as X is 175.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

By prime Factorization method .
Step 1 : The prime factor for 40 is = 2×2×2×5.
Step 2 :The prime factor for 1400 is = 2×2×2×5×5×7.
Step 3 : the prime factor for the unknown natural odd number is to be find by comparing the factors of 40 and 1400.
Step 4 : Lcm is known as least common multiple.
Step 5 : Thus we can see the 5×5×7 in 1400 as different factors from the factors of 40.
Step 6 : So lets multiply the factors we get number 175 which satisfies the condition of the odd number.
Step 7 : The prime factors of 175 are 5×5×7.

Stacy wants to build a patio with a small, circular pond in her backyard.The pond will have a 6-foot radius. She also wants to i

Komok [63]

We know that

step 1
the area to install tiles is equal to A
A=area rectangle-area of a circle

area of a rectangle=(13+x)*x-----> (13x+x²) ft²

area of a circle=pi*r²-----> pi*6²------> 36*pi ft²
A=(x²+13x)-36*pi ft²

step 2
find the cost of installing tiles CT
CT=$1*[(x²+13x)-36*pi]-----> CT=$x²+$13x-$36*pi

step 3
find the cost <span>the of installing the pond CP
CP=$0.62*36*pi------> CP$22.32*pi

step 4
find the inequality
we know that
CT+CP </span> $\leq$ <span> $536
[</span>$x²+$13x-$36*pi]+[$22.32*pi] $\leq$ $536

[$x²+$13x-$13.68*pi] $\leq$ $536

the answer is the option D

A log is 16m long, correct to the nearest metre. It has to be cut into fence posts which must be 70cm long, correct to the neare

dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

25 posts

Step-by-step explanation:

So the number of fence post would be the total length of the log divided by the length of each post. As the log is 16m and is corrected to the nearest metre, it could possibly be 16.499m. As for the post that is 70 cm long and corrected to the nearest 10cm, it may as well be 65 cm (or 0.65m) each post

So the max number of fence point once can possibly cut from the log would be

16.499 / 0.65 = 25 posts
