A 10−pound package of cookies costs (y + 1) dollars while a 6−pound package costs (y − 1) dollars. If the price per pound of cookies is the same for both packages, the equation below can be used to solve for y.
\[\frac{ y+1 }{ 10 } = \frac{ y-1 }{ 6 }\]
6(y+1)=10(y-1) 6y+6 = 10y-10 4y=16 y=?
8
?
Divide both sides by 4.
4y = 16 4y/4 = 16/4 y = ?
@Albany_Goon, what is 16 divided by 4?
4
Yes, so y=4
thnx are u up for more
I'll try.
A greenhouse that specializes in growing geraniums is divided into sections. The number of geranium pots in each section depends on the number of sprinklers in that section. There are x(7x − 2) pots of red geraniums and (x + 3)^2 pots of pink geraniums in a section with x sprinklers. Which simplified expression represents the total number of red and pink geranium pots in a section with x sprinklers?
@texaschic101, do you want to take this one?
HELPPP
@factor or @CO_oLBoY
@hba @wolfe8 @eliassaab
i think it should be like this but u should confirm it x(7x − 2) + (x + 3)^2 7x^2 - 2x + x^2 + 9 + 6x 8x^2 + 4x + 9 i think this should be ur required expression. u can also factorize it
yes thnx you
welcome
one more please
ok but ask fast i dont have much time
A news agent conducted a survey among travel magazine subscribers of a town and found that there was circulation of only three travel magazines. He made the Venn diagram below to show the number of subscribers to each of the three magazines: Leisure, Outbound, and Vacations. How many subscribers belong to the set V U (~O ∩ L)?
choices 749 821 870 954
sorry this set is like that V U (O ∩ L) = {84,49,49,72,67,387} so, 84+49+49+72+67+387=708 let me check there must some other mistake too
can u check ur choices 1 more time
those are the choices
is this is asked V U (~O ∩ L)?
yes
then the ans should be 708
ok thnx
thats not one of them
i know but any other doesnt make sense
thnx anyway
u r welcome
