5. Mrs. Perkins hosts a birthday party for her son and 7 guests. She orders 2 cookies and a
cupcake for each child. The cost of the cupcake is $2.75, and the total bill is $46.00. What is the
cost of a cookie?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A cookie is $1.50.

Step-by-step explanation:

Variable x = cost of cookies

For each child means the 7 guests plus Mrs. Perkins' son which equals 8.

Set up an equation:

(2x)8 + (2.75)8 = 46

Use distributive property:

16x + 22 = 46

Isolate variable x by subtracting both sides by 22:

16x = 24

Isolate variable x by dividing both sides by 16

x = 1.5

Check your work:

2(1.5) × 8 + (2.75)8 = 46

3 × 8 + 22 = 46

24 + 22 = 46

46 = 46

Correct!

Answer 2

Answer: $1.50 per cookie

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that each cupcake is worth $2.75 and the total bill of all her purchases is $46.

Therefore, lets multiply the cost of a cupcake times the amount of people eating them. (the sons and 7 guests which add up to 8)

2.75(8) = $22

Now take the total cost of 8 cupcakes and subtract it from the total.

46 - 22 =  $24

24 dollars is equal to the cost times the amount of cookies purchased. Therefore, let X equal to the cost per cookie and multiply it times the amount of cookies purchased. The amount of cookies is equal to 2 cookies times 8 children.

(2*8)X = 24

16x=24

x= $1.50

Check:

8[ (1)(2.75) + 2X ] = 46

8[ 2.75 + (2) (1.50) ] = 46

22 + 24 = 46

46 = 46

Using the Factor Theorem, which of the polynomial functions has the zeros 4, [tex]\sqrt7[/tex], and [tex]-\sqrt{7\\}[/tex]?
f (x) = x3 – 4x2 + 7x + 28
f (x) = x3 – 4x2 – 7x + 28
f (x) = x3 + 4x2 – 7x + 28
f (x) = x3 + 4x2 – 7x – 28

Answers

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Factor Theorem, if (x - a) is a factor (where a is a zero) of the polynomial P(x), then P(a) must equal zero.

Our zeros are 4, √7, and - √7. Hence, when evaluating P(4), P(√7), and P(-√7), all must evaluate to zero.

Testing each choice, we can see that only choice B is true. That is:

[tex]\displaystyle \displaystyle \begin{aligned} f(4)&= (4)^3 - 4(4)^2 - 7(4) + 28 \\ &= (64) - (64) - (28) + 28 \\ &= 0 \stackrel{\checkmark}{=}0 \\f(\sqrt{7}) &= (\sqrt{7})^3 - 4(\sqrt{7})^2 - 7(\sqrt{7}) + 28 \\ &= (7\sqrt{7}) - (28) - (7\sqrt{7}) + 28 \\ &= 0 \stackrel{\checkmark}{=} 0\\ f(-\sqrt{7}) &= (-\sqrt{7})^3 - 4(-\sqrt{7})^2 - 7(-\sqrt{7}) + 28 \\ &= (-7\sqrt{7}) - (28) + (7\sqrt{7}) + 28 \\ &= 0 \stackrel{\checkmark}{=} 0 \end{aligned}[/tex]

In conclusion, our answer is B.

Answers

Answer:

B. -9/11

Step-by-step explanation:

(f/g)(-4) = f(-4) / g(-4)

To find f(-4), we plug in -4 everywhere there is an x

f(-4) = 2(-4) - 1 = -8 - 1 = -9

Same idea for g(-4):

4(-4)^2 + 14(-4) + 3

4*16 - 56 + 3 = 11

So (f/g)(-4) = f(-4) / g(-4) =

Step-by-step explanation:

let : the pair of jeans = X

a. the equation is :

4(X-3) + 8 = 92

b. 4(X-3) = 92-8

4X -12 = 84

4X = 84+12

4X = 96

X = 96/4

X = 24

so, the price of each pair of jeans = $24

_________

For the solution x = 2.6, the left side of equation

(2x - 6) => would be 2(2.6)-6 = 5.2-6 = -8 ( the negative value),

but on the right side of the equation 4x+8 => 4(2.6) +8 = 18.4 ( the positive value)

this difference indicates that x=2.6 is not the right solution.

Answer:

a)  Let x be the cost of one pair of jeans

    [tex]4(x-3)+8=92[/tex]

b)  $24

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information:

Cost of t-shirt = $8Coupon used for $3 off each pair of jeansTotal spend = $92 (before tax)

Define the variable:

Let x = the cost of one pair of jeans

Create an equation using the defined variable and the given information:

Apply the coupon ⇒ cost of one pair of jeans = (x - 3)4 pairs of jeans ⇒ 4(x - 3)Plus the cost of the t-shirt ⇒ + 8Equals the total cost of ⇒ = 92:

[tex]4(x-3)+8=92[/tex]

To find the price of each pair of jeans, solve the equation for x:

[tex]\implies 4(x-3)+8=92[/tex]

[tex]\implies 4(x-3)+8-8=92-8[/tex]

[tex]\implies 4(x-3)=84[/tex]

[tex]\implies \dfrac{4(x-3)}{4}=\dfrac{84}{4}[/tex]

[tex]\implies x-3=21[/tex]

[tex]\implies x-3+3=21+3[/tex]

[tex]\implies x=24[/tex]

Therefore, the price of each pair of jeans was $24.

----------------------------------------------------

Solving  3(2x - 6) = 4x + 8  mentally:

Expand the brackets:

⇒ 16x - 18 = 4x + 8

Subtract 4x from both sides:

⇒ 12x - 18 = 8

Add 18 to both sides:

⇒ 12x = 26

Two times 12 is 24.  As 26 is very close to 24, then x ≈ 2.

(The actual value of x is 2.2 to 2 decimal places).

Assessing the student's solution:

As x = 2.6 rounds to x ≈ 3 then the student's solution is incorrect because:

⇒ 3(2(3) - 6) = 4(3) + 8

⇒ 3(6 - 6) = 12 + 8

⇒ 3(0) = 20

⇒ 0 = 20

-7)

Answers

Answer:

x = 8

length is 12 meters

width is 9 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

P = 2l + 2w

where l is the length and w is the width.

(There are two sides with the same length, and two sides with the same width.)

Let l = x + 4 and w = 2x - 7

so 2(x+4) + 2(2x-7) = 42

Distribute the 2s

2x + 8 + 4x - 14 = 42

Combine like terms

2x + 4x + 8 - 14 = 42

Group

6x - 6 = 42

Add 6 to both sides

6x = 48

Divide 6 on both sides

x = 8

Plug back in

l = 8 + 4 = 12 meters

and w = 2(8) - 7 = 16 - 7 = 9 meters

Double-check: 2 * 12 + 2 * 9 = 24 + 18 = 42
