The total cost for 8 bracelets, including shipping was $54. The shipping charge was $6. Determine the cost for each bracelet.  Show your work

jigglypuff314 · Answer

? wouldn't that be the same question?
equation:  8x + 6 = 54
cost: x = 6

anonymous · Answer

8x+6=54
      8x=54-6
        8x=48
          x=48/8
x=6
the bracelet cost $6 is that right

aha thank you, u think u could help me with a couple more?

jigglypuff314 · Answer

sure! :)

anonymous · Answer

ok :)

jigglypuff314 · Answer

solve it like you would for any other equation :)
so add 8 to both sides
then divide both sides by 6

anonymous · Answer

14y-8 <18?

anonymous · Answer

then divide?

jigglypuff314 · Answer

hmm???
6y - 8 < 10
    +8     +8
6y  <  18    then divide :)

Sharon earns $25 per item she sells plus a base salary of $100 per week. Write and solve an inequality to find how many items she must sell to earn at least $700 per week. Provide your conclusion as a complete sentence.

anonymous · Answer

:)

jigglypuff314 · Answer

idk complete sentence >,<
equation would be    25x + 100 >_ 700

anonymous · Answer

ok haha ill do that one last, how about

anonymous · Answer

18.	Solve the inequality. Show your work.
–6b > 42 or 4b > –4

jigglypuff314 · Answer

–6b > 42   divide both sides by -6 and don't forget to flip the sign :)

4b > –4     divide both sides by 4

anonymous · Answer

okay :) // 	Solve the equation. Show your work.
8x – 12 = 4x + 24

jigglypuff314 · Answer

subtract 4x from both sides
add 12 to both sides
divide both sides by 4

anonymous · Answer

okay wait i got stuck on #18

anonymous · Answer

:/

jigglypuff314 · Answer

? what's #18?

anonymous · Answer

Solve the inequality. Show your work.
–6b > 42 or 4b > –4 this one

jigglypuff314 · Answer

–6b > 42 divide both sides by -6 and don't forget to flip the sign :) /-6 /-6 b < -7 4b > –4 divide both sides by 4 /4 /4 b > -1 so you get b < -7 or b > -1

anonymous · Answer

ohhh okay, thank u :)

anonymous · Answer

jigglypuff314 · Answer
