Miscellaneous_Word_Problems/219517: When Lyle goes to the grocery store, he always leaves with 4, 5, or 6 bags of groceries. Each bag always weighs between 1 and 7 pounds. What is the difference between Lyle’s heaviest possible grocery purchase and his lightest possible grocery purchase? The answer I got is 42...I know it's incorrect...help. 1 solutions Answer 165060 by jim_thompson5910(28595)   on 2009-09-30 12:28:26 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Worst Case (ie heaviest load): He leaves with 6 bags (the most he carries) that are 7 pounds each (the heaviest they get). How much do they weigh total? They weigh pounds total. Now compare this to the best case... Best Case (lightest load possible): He leaves with 4 bags (the smallest amount he carries) weighing 1 pound each (the lightest they get). In total, they weigh 4*1=4 pounds. The difference between the heaviest and the lightest is then: 42-4=38 So the difference between Lyle’s heaviest possible grocery purchase and his lightest possible grocery purchase is 38 pounds.

Money_Word_Problems/219513: Peter borrowed $12,000, which he paid back after 4 years at a simple interest rate of 8%. Find the total amount that Peter paid back. 1 solutions Answer 165059 by jim_thompson5910(28595)   on 2009-09-30 12:22:24 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Recall that the simple interest formula is where 'I' is the interest, P is the balance/principal, 'r' is the interest rate, and 't' is the time in years. So let's first find out how much interest he paid: Start with the given formula. Plug in , , and Multiply So he paid $3,840 in interest alone. Now just add this to the amount he borrowed (since he has to pay that back too) to get: So Peter paid back $15,840 total.

Distributive-associative-commutative-properties/219494: x² - 4xy – 12y² and a² - 25a factor completely (seperate problems) 1 solutions Answer 165053 by jim_thompson5910(28595)   on 2009-09-30 11:53:44 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! I'll do the first one to get you started. Looking at we can see that the first term is and the last term is where the coefficients are 1 and -12 respectively. Now multiply the first coefficient 1 and the last coefficient -12 to get -12. Now what two numbers multiply to -12 and add to the middle coefficient -4? Let's list all of the factors of -12: Factors of -12: 1,2,3,4,6,12 -1,-2,-3,-4,-6,-12 ...List the negative factors as well. This will allow us to find all possible combinations These factors pair up and multiply to -12 (1)*(-12) (2)*(-6) (3)*(-4) (-1)*(12) (-2)*(6) (-3)*(4) note: remember, the product of a negative and a positive number is a negative number Now which of these pairs add to -4? Lets make a table of all of the pairs of factors we multiplied and see which two numbers add to -4 First Number Second Number Sum 1 -12 1+(-12)=-11 2 -6 2+(-6)=-4 3 -4 3+(-4)=-1 -1 12 -1+12=11 -2 6 -2+6=4 -3 4 -3+4=1 From this list we can see that 2 and -6 add up to -4 and multiply to -12 Now looking at the expression , replace with (notice combines back to . So it is equivalent to ) Now let's factor by grouping: Group like terms Factor out the GCF of out of the first group. Factor out the GCF of out of the second group Since we have a common term of , we can combine like terms So factors to So this also means that factors to (since is equivalent to ) ------------------------------------------------------------ Answer: So factors to

Money_Word_Problems/219496: How long does it take your money in your savings account to double at 8% interest rate using the formula A=Pe^rt ? 1 solutions Answer 165051 by jim_thompson5910(28595)   on 2009-09-30 11:44:34 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Start with the continuous compounding interest formula. Plug in (since we want to double our investment), and (note: 0.08 is the decimal equivalent of 8%). Divide both sides by . Reduce. Take the natural log of both sides. Pull down the exponent using the identity . Evaluate to get . Multiply. Evaluate to get Divide both sides by to isolate 't' Divide to get Rearrange the equation. Round to the nearest hundredth. So it will take about 8.66 years for an initial investment to double if it is compounded continuously at an interest rate of 8%.

Linear-equations/219144: Give a real-life example of two quantities that vary directly. 1 solutions Answer 164859 by jim_thompson5910(28595)   on 2009-09-29 18:38:33 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Example: The amount in wages that you make varies directly to the number of hours that you work. In other words, if you work more, you earn more (or if you work less, you earn less). In this example, we have two variables: amount made in wages and number of hours worked.

Equations/219141: what are the steps to figure out: -14=5-G? I know that G=19, but I can't get the steps. 1 solutions Answer 164858 by jim_thompson5910(28595)   on 2009-09-29 18:36:17 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! Start with the given equation. Subtract 5 from both sides. Combine like terms. Multiply both sides by -1 to make G positive. Rearrange the equation. So the solution is

Triangles/219130: find the value of each variable. there is a right triangle. it gives two angles (2x-2)degrees and (x+5)degrees. 1 solutions Answer 164853 by jim_thompson5910(28595)   on 2009-09-29 18:28:09 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! I'm assuming that both of these angles are the acute angles. If so, then these angles are complementary. This means that they add to 90 degrees. In other words, Simply solve the equation above to find 'x' which will then give you your angles.

Expressions-with-variables/219127: uumm i dnt understand how to slove 2x+2y=6 1 solutions Answer 164850 by jim_thompson5910(28595)   on 2009-09-29 18:21:50 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! I'm assuming you want to solve for 'y' right? Start with the given equation. Subtract from both sides. Rearrange the terms. Divide both sides by to isolate y. Break up the fraction. Reduce. So the equation is now in slope intercept form where the slope is and the y-intercept is note: the y-intercept is the point

Solved by pluggable solver: Reducing Fractions Calculator In order to reduce , the numerator and denominator must share a common factor. This common number must evenly divide into both of them without any remainder or decimal. In order to completely reduce the fraction, you must divide the numerator and the denominator by the greatest common factor (GCF). The GCF of and is (note: click here if you need help with finding the GCF). So divide both the numerator and denominator by In other words, to reduce the fraction you do this Plug in the numerator, denominator, and the GCF Now divide 110 by 10 to get 11. This is now the new numerator. Now divide 100 by 10 to get 10. This is now the new denominator. So This means that reduces to In other words,
