jalil and Victoria are each asked to solve the equation ax – c = bx + d for x. Jalil says it is not possible to isolate x because each x has a different unknown coefficient. Victoria believes there is a solution, and shows Jalil her work:

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

x = (d+c)/(a - b)

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation: ax – c = bx + d

Jalil says it is not possible to isolate x because  x has a different unknown coefficient.

Victoria t. Victoria believes there is a solution

Solving the equation:

ax-c = bx + d

ax - bx= d+c

(a - b)x = d+c

x = (d+c)/(a - b)

So, this shows x can be isolated .

Victoria was right .

It was not possible to isolate x if the coefficients of x would be same .

But in the given equation the coefficients of x are not same .

So, Victoria is right.

c. 26 to 1
d. 5 to 130
e. 0.25 to 6.5
f. 1/2 to 19 1/2.

Answers

B,D, E
B because 11*26=286 and 1*11=11
D because 5*26=130 and 1*5=5
E because 26*.25=6.5 and 1*.25=.25
It isnt a or c because 1:26 does not equal 26:1

Rob has 40 coins, all dimes and quarters, worth $7.60. How many dimes and how many quarters does he have?

Answers

The required Rob has 16 dimes and 24 quarters as he has a total of 40 coins.

What are equation models?

The equation model is defined as the model of the given situation in the form of an equation using variables and constants.

Here,
Let x be the number of dimes that Rob has, and y be the number of quarters.

We know that he has a total of 40 coins, so,

x + y = 40 ( 1)

We also know that the value of all his coins is $7.60. The value of x dimes is 10x cents, and the value of y quarters is 25y cents. So,

10x + 25y = 760 ( 2)

Now we can solve for x and y. Let's start by solving equation 1 for one of the variables:

x + y = 40

y = 40 - x

Substitute this expression for y into equation 2:

10x + 25y = 760

10x + 25(40-x) = 760

10x + 1000 - 25x = 760

-15x = -240

x = 16

So Rob has 16 dimes. We can use equation 1 to find the number of quarters:

x + y = 40

16 + y = 40

y = 24

So Rob has 24 quarters.

Therefore, Rob has 16 dimes and 24 quarters.

A baker baked some loaves of bread. 240 loaves were sold by the end of the day. The baker was then left with 9/25 of the number of loaves that were baked. How many loaves of bread did the baker bake on that day?

Answers

Answer:

The baker baked 375 loaves of bread that day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the baker baked a total of x loaves of bread.

240 loaves were sold by the end of the day.

The baker was then left with 9/25 of the number of loaves that were baked.

We get the equation:

x-240=(9x)/(25)

Solving for x;

=> 25(x-240)=9x

=> 25x-6000=9x

=> 25x-9x=6000

=> 16x=6000

x = 375

Therefore, the baker baked 375 loaves of bread that day.

in this case, 16/25=240 loaves that he sold
25/25 is how many loaves he started with, and 9/25 is what he now has
16/25 =240
divide bothe sides by the numerator(16) to get what 1/25 of his loaves equal
1/25=15
multiply both sides by 25 
the baker started with 375

One number is 1 more than 4 times another. Their product is 18. What are the numbers?

Answers

The numbers are 9 and 2.

One number is 1 more than 4 times another.
2 x 4 = 8
8 + 1 = 9

Their product is 18.
9 x 2 = 18

Usually, with this type of problem, it's easiest just to use trial and error. Go through the factors of 18, and eventually you'll find a pair that fits the given criteria.
