Numbers_Word_Problems/555221: One number is 8 times another number. It is also 15 more than 3 three times the other number. Find the numbers and show all work. What do I do? 1 solutions Answer 361792 by ankor@dixie-net.com(15624)   on 2012-01-10 21:20:11 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Here's what you do! : let x = "one number" let y = "another number : You write an equation for each statement: : "One number is 8 times another number." x = 8y : "It is also 15 more than 3 three times the other number." x = 3y + 15 : From the 1st statement, we know that x=8y, so replace x with 8y in the 2nd eq 8y = 3y + 15 8y - 3y = 15 5y = 15 y = 15/5 y = 3 : I'm going to leave something for you to do. You can find x using the 1st equation (x=8y), then check both solutions in the 2nd statement : How did you do on this? c

Polynomials-and-rational-expressions/555264: Suzie’s flower shop estimates that supplies costs for one month will be given by the polynomial 2x2 – 7x – 4. She estimates that utilities costs for one month is given by 3x – 3. Find and simplify an expression that would estimate Suzie’s total costs for one month. 1 solutions Answer 361788 by ankor@dixie-net.com(15624)   on 2012-01-10 21:06:32 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Suzie’s flower shop estimates that supplies costs for one month will be given by the polynomial 2x2 – 7x – 4. She estimates that utilities costs for one month is given by 3x – 3. Find and simplify an expression that would estimate Suzie’s total costs for one month. Total Cost = f(x) f(x) = (2x^2 - 7x - 4) + (3x - 3) Combine like terms f(x) = 2x^2 - 7x + 3x - 4 - 3 f(x) = 2x^2 - 4x - 7, cost for one month

Systems-of-equations/554827: system of Equations and inequalities There are 2 triangles which I can't draw, imagine them between the letters and numbers. Could someone please help with this? Could you show all work and explain steps for me so I understand. The triangle on the left has a perimeter of 14. The triangle on the right has a perimeter of 21. What are x and y? 1st triangle has a y on each side and x at bottom the other triangle has 5/4y on each side and 3x at the bottom. 1 solutions Answer 361786 by ankor@dixie-net.com(15624)   on 2012-01-10 21:00:24 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!

What are x and y? 1st triangle has a y on each side and x at bottom the other triangle has 5/4y on each side and 3x at the bottom. : The way I understand this, the two triangles have two equal sides and writing a perimeter equation for each, I have: : Left triangle: x + 2y = 14 Right triangle: 3x + 2()y = 21 On the right triangle, let's get rid of the fraction, multiply each term by 4 4(3x) + 2(5y) = 4(21) 12x + 10y = 84 ; Back to the left triangle x + 2y = 14 x = (-2y + 14); put it in this form for substitution : Back to the right triangle 12x + 10y = 84 replace x with (-2y+14), find y 12(-2y+14) + 10y = 84 -24y + 168 + 10y = 84 -24y + 10y = 84 - 168 -14y = -84 Mult by -1 14y = 84 y = 84/14 y = 6 Find x x = -2(6) + 14 x = -12 + 14 x = 2 Summarize solutions, x=2, y=6 : Check this in the left equation x + 2y = 14 2 + 2(6) = 14 also in the right equation 3x + 2()y = 21 3(2) + 2()6 = 21 mult 5 by 6 6 + 2() = 21 Cancel the 2 into the 4 6 + = 6 + 15 = 21; confirms our solutions on this one too : did I succeed in explaining the step to you here? Any questions? C

Thank you! 1 solutions Answer 361782 by ankor@dixie-net.com(15624)   on 2012-01-10 20:18:37 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Angie is twice as old as Amelie. One year ago the sum of their ages was 10. How old is each now? : Assume you had: x = Angie y = Amelie : "Angie is twice as old as Amelie." x = 2y : "One year ago the sum of their ages was 10." (x-1) + (y-1) = 10 x + y - 2 = 10 x + y = 10 + 2 x + y = 12 from the 1st equation, replace x with 2y 2y + y = 12 3y = 12 y = 12/3 y = 4 yrs is Amelie's present age, then obviously x = 2(4) = 8 yrs is Angies age ; : See if this checks out in the statement: " One year ago the sum of their ages was 10. " 8-1 + 4-1 = 10 How old is each now? 8 and 4
