Maria bought seven boxes. A week later half of her boxes were destroyed in a fire. There are only 22 boxes left. With how many did she start?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: The equation is (x+7)/2=22

X is what we need to find out. (I’m not sure if you are in algebra yet so I’m sorry if you’re not)

First we should give both sides the same denominator (22=22/1)

(X+7)/2=22/1 now we can change 22/1 to 44/2
(X+7)/2=44/2

Now since we are trying to find x, we can remove the denominator to solve for x and make it easier.

x+7=44 subtract 7 from both sides
x=37

***so your answer is 37***

Are the graphs of x-4y=2 and 4x+y=8 perpendicular?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x-4y=2

4y=x-2

y=1/4 x-1/2

slope=1/4

4x+y=8

y=-4x+8

its slope=-4

product of slopes=1/4×(-4)=-1

so lines are perpendicular.

Find the students error in solving the following inequality 2<-3x-4<56<-3x<5
-2>x>-5/3

Answers

Answer:

The student did not add 4 to all sides of the inequality

Step-by-step explanation:

2<-3x - 4<5

Add 4 to all sides

4 + 2< -3x - 4 + 4 < 5 + 4

6< -3x < 9

Divide all sides by the coefficient of x; -3

-2< x < -3

Remember, when dividing an inequality with a negative number, you must flip the sign

So, this becomes;

-2 > x > -3

Do 0.3 and 3.0 have the same value ? explain

Answers

No, silly.
3.0 is ten times the size of 0.3 .

Take your calculator, and divide one of them by the other one.
If they have the same value, then the answer will be ' 1 '.

Take your calculator and subtract one from the other.
If they have the same value, then the answer will be zero.

No because .3 is 30 cent and 3.0 is 3 dollars.
