wade wants to buy sweaters. He has $175 and each sweater costs $12.00. Write and solve an inequality to find how many sweaters he can buy and still have at least $55.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Wade wants to have at least $55 left, so the sign will be ≤ (greater than or equal to 55) One sweater costs $12. You can use x to represent an unkown number of sweaters, so $12x. You are subtracting 12x by your budget of $175. When put together, the inequality is $175-$12x ≤ $55.Now to solve. You want to get x alone so subtract 175. You must do this to both sides. Now you have -12x≤ -120. Divide both sides by -12 and your final answer is -120/-12 ≥ 10. (Notice the sign changes when you divide by a negative)So Wade cannot buy more than 10 sweaters to have $55 left over. Phoo that was a workout. It can be difficult but once you get the hang of it it comes easy. If you need more help just ask :D
Answer 2
Answer: X is the number of sweaters Wade buys.
175$-12x≥55$.
Solve the equation to get X = 10 sweaters.

a trapezoid an area of 7.2 square miles.one base is 1.2 miles and the other is 2.4 miles long.what is the height

Answers

Area = 7.2 square miles

Base = 1.2

Second base = 2.4

Area of Trapezium = (1/2)*(Sum of Bases)*height

7.2 =  (1/2)*(2.4 + 1.2)*h

7.2 = (1/2)*3.6*h

7.2 = 1.8h

1.8h = 7.2

h = 7.2/1.8 = 4

Height = 4 miles.
