Answer 1
Answer: 4.50x + 7x= $50.50
you will use Guess and check as a strategy
 4.50(5) +7(4) = 50.50

yes the answer does make sense

Answer 2
Answer: a - number of nail polish bottles
b - number of lip gloss tubes
a+b=9    => b=9-a
4.50*a+7*b=50.50

4.50*a+7*(9-a)=50.50
4.50*a+63-7a=50.50
63-50.50=7a-4.50a
2.50a=12.50
a=12.50/2.50
a=5
nail polish bottles
b=9-a=9-5
b=4
lip gloss tubes

What is the perimeter, P, of a rectangle that has a length of (x + 8) and a width of (x − 1)? Show all work.

Answers

Answer:

4x + 14

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

L =(x + 8)

W =(x -1)

Perimeter of a rectangle

= 2(L + B)

P = 2( x+8 + x-1)

Using distributive property

We have

2xx +2x8 + 2xx -2x1

2x + 16 +2x -2

2x + 2x +16 -2

4x + 14

Sophia walked 6 miles in 90 minutes at bear creek park in eluless, Texas. if she continued at this rate , use a ratio table to determine how many miles she could walk in 60 minutes.

Answers

Answer:

4 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

the data we have is:

  Miles     Minutes

     6      ⇒  90

and the thing we want to know is how many miles she could walk in 60 minutes:

  Miles     Minutes

     6      ⇒  90

     x      ⇒  60

where the x represents the unknown number of miles she will walk in 60 minutes.

we solve this problem using rule of three, for this we multiply cross quantities (6 by 60) and then we must divide by 90:

x = 6*60/90

x = 360/90

x = 4

in 60 minutes she walks 4 miles.

she can walk 4 miles in 60 minutes. 6/105=4 miles
                                                          90/1.5=60 minutes

What ratio doesn't belong 4/10 2/5 3/5 6/15

Answers

3/5 does nor belong, as the other three fractions are just different versions of the same fraction :) 4/10 can be simplified into 2/5. If you multiply this fraction by three, 2/5 would become 6/15 Hope this helped! 

What is f(3) for the quadratic functionf(x)=2x2 + x – 12?
F -3
G 3
H 6
I. 9​

Answers

Answer:

f(3) = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Wherever you see an x on the right, put a 3 in for that x

f(x) = 2x^2 + x - 12

f(3) = 2*(3)^2 + 3 - 12

f(3) = 2*9 + 3 - 12

f(3) = 18 + 3 - 12

f(3) = 9

2/3 → 10/15

4/5 → 12/15

Second, add.

10/15 + 12/15 = 22/15

Third, turn into a mix number if needed.

22/15 = 1 7/15
