Question

For homework, Fred has to read 30 minutes daily. It takes him 2 minutes per page, and he spends 4 minutes viewing graphics in the book. If x represents the number of pages he reads, then 2x + 4 ≥ 30 represents the time he reads each day. What is the fewest number of pages Fred must read to complete his homework?

Answer 1

i believe its 13

Answer 2

yea i thot so

Answer 3

they gave you the inequality here,

2 min/page*(#pages) + 4 min >= 30 minutes total

Answer 4

thx

Answer 5

i have another

Answer 6

ok

Answer 7

13

Answer 8

Which equation best represents the situation?
Cara served pizza and punch at a party. Each pizza fed 6 people, and each guest received a glass of punch. If a glass of punch cost 50¢, and Cara spent $2.50 for each guest, what was the cost of each pizza?

Answer 9

solve for the range of x, the pages

Answer 10

ur too late dan lol

Answer 11

well they don't give you the inequality this time,,

Answer 12

Answer 13

tso the concept has to be put together

Answer 14

can someone help me with this problem

Answer 16

it says i gotta log in... the best way i can help you is by saying she only bought one pizza because she only had 5 guests

Answer 17

Each guest cost $2.50 total, that is the same cost as 1/6 of a pizza, and one glass of drink

Answer 18

put that into an equation

2.5 = p/6 + 0.5 balancing the $$

Answer 19

oh then the pizza would be twelve dollars?

Answer 20

a.x/6+.50=2.50
b.6x+.50x=2.50
c.x/6+50=2.50
d.6x-2.50=.50

Answer 21

1 guest cost 2.50 and consumed 1/6 a pizza and one drink

2.50 = x/6 + 0.5

Answer 22

so it would be a

Answer 23

yes,

Answer 24

oh yeah lol..

Answer 25

okay thx i have a couple more if you guys can help?

Answer 26

The main point is to read the thing a couple times, summarize it, and convert that to equation(s)

Answer 27

suuure

Answer 28

If you can keep track of units well, that makes it much easier

Answer 29

Which inequality best represents the situation?
A pine tree grows at a rate of 1.5 feet per year. James plants a 2-foot tall pine tree in his yard. How many years will it take for the tree to be at least 14 feet tall?

Answer 30

okay dan

Answer 31

A.
2x + 1.5 ≥ 14

B.
2x – 1.5 ≤ 14

C.
1.5x + 2 ≥ 14

D.
1.5x – 2 ≤ 14

Answer 32

i think d

Answer 33

Here is my thought,
1)the tree grows at a constant rate, 1.5 ft / 1 yr, it must be a linear relationship

Answer 34

okay

Answer 35

so we divide

Answer 36

for each increase in yrs, the height grows the same amount, constant slope for a line

Answer 37

i think its c

Answer 38

says it starts at 2 ft tall, that is the value at time of zero, and the y intercept for the line

Answer 39

right so that means that we need to dive those 2 numbers

Answer 40

okay

Answer 41

they give you 1 point, and the slope, you can make an equation for a line

Answer 42

its c

Answer 43

y = m*x+b

y = 1.5x + 2

Answer 44

hwo is that mega

Answer 45

oh so it is c y

Answer 46

exactly dans equation y = 1.5x + 2

Answer 47

ohhhhh right

Answer 48

okay

Answer 49

now that you know the equation for the line, y = 1.5*x + 2

they want to know when it will be at least 30 ft tall?

the 1.5x + 2 has to be greater than or equal to 30 ft

Answer 50

is that it?

Answer 51

yes, that is how i would think thorugh it, basically

Answer 52

You want to find out how many cards were in Mona's deck at the beginning. Which situation about her game best represents the equation x/4+2=10 ?

Answer 53

Mona gave 4 players an equal number of game cards and then put 2 cards back in the box. After that, the first player had 10 cards.

B.
Mona gave 4 players an equal number of cards and then gave the first player 2 extra cards. After that, the first player had 10 cards.

C.
Mona gave 4 players an equal number of cards and then gave each player 2 additional cards. After that, each player had 10 cards.

D.
Mona gave 4 players an equal number of cards and then gave 1 more card to 2 players. After that, the first player had 10 cards.

Answer 54

I think b

Answer 55

no c

Answer 56

right?

Answer 57

from the question it is hard to tell, since there are no units for x and 10,

cards vs players

Answer 58

so you have to read the responses, and figure that

Answer 59

hmmmm?

Answer 60

could u help me with that?

Answer 61

x is the number of cards in the full deck

Answer 62

okay

Answer 63

so we would subtract

Answer 64

without x

Answer 65

right?

Answer 66

come one mathlete

Answer 67

sorry, had to step away a second...

Answer 68

thats okay

Answer 69

the 4 is the number of players that was given, ...

Answer 70

right

Answer 71

the total cards x, was divided by the number of players, x/4

Answer 72

okay

Answer 73

so substract?

Answer 74

thif you look at the units there, you get cards per player

cards / player

the units have to be the same on both sides of the equation, so that constant 2, and 10 will also be cards/player

Answer 75

cards / player + cards / player = cards / player

Answer 76

so the answer is c right? or

Answer 77

sorry, i will restart, was distracted, and this is wrong.

Answer 78

what is ?

Answer 79

is is a ?
do u know the answer?

Answer 80

talk to meh
