I believe there are 35 backpacks in all. 2 closets have 6 shelves all together. Then 6*5=35.
the correct answer should be (b) 6 is extraneous.
If you look at the second row of the solution you see (x-6) as a factor in one of the denominators. That's a problem: if 6 were a solution this denominator would become 0. But denominators being 0 is bad (undefined), so while 6 comes out of the algebraic manipulation as a solution, it is invalid, or extraneous.
-3 is a fine solution.
Answer: 250 cameras; $10,000 spent; 15,000 made
Step-by-step explanation:
1) FInd the profit. 60-40=20. This means that they make a profit of $20 per camera.
2) How many cameras to break even? 5000/20=250. The answer is 250 cameras!
3) How much money has been spent? 40x250= $10000 spent.
4) How much money has been made? 60x250= $15000 made.
<em>Hope this helps!</em>
What’s is it about can you tell me.?
Using the cross product property on this proportion gives us the following equation:
20 (2x - 9) = 10 (9)
Use the distributive property and multiply
40x - 180 = 90
Add 180 to both sides
40x = 270
Divide 40 from both sides
x = 270/40
Simplify fraction
x = 27/4
This should be your answer. Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!
