Enola spent $48 at a used book store where hardback books sell for $12 each and paperback books sell for $8 each.
A. Write an equation in standard form where x represents the number of hardback books and y represents the number of paperback books she bought that day:
B. If she bought 2 hardback books how many paperback books did she buy?
Answer:
A. 48= 12x + 8y
B. 3 paper back books
Step-by-step explanation:
A. If x represents hardback book, and they are $12 each then that is 12x. y = the paperback books that are $8 each, so 8y. and 48 is the amount that Enola spent.
B. 2 hardback books would equal $24. If you had 3 paperback books that would equal $24. And the two together to get the total amount of $48.

Thomas decides to use the method of proportions and similar
triangles to find the height of a lamppost. He measures the length of
the post's shadow and finds it is 5 feet long. Then, he holds a 1-foot
ruler perpendicular to the ground and finds that it casts a 2-inch
shadow. How tall is the lamppost?
a. 2.5 ft c. 30 ft
b. 12 ft d. 60 ft
Answer:
The lamppost is 30 ft tall.
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to draw a diagram of the problem. Refer to attachment.
Now you need to convert the measurements that are in feet to in. The 1 foot ruler is now 12 in. and the 5 foot post's shadow is now 60 in.
The next step is to create a proportion between both angles. [tex]\frac{x}{1} =\frac{60}{2}[/tex]
x over 1 is simplified to x and 60 divided by 2 is just 30. So the lamppost is 30 ft tall.
Hope that helped. :)

The marine needs 14 boats for the 42 people registered for a boat race. How many boats will they need for 6 people?
Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
We can write a proportion to determine
42 people 6 people
---------------- = ----------------
14 boats x boats
Using cross products
42x = 6*14
42x =84
Divide each side by 42
42x/42 = 84/42
x = 2
They will need 2 boats
Henry divided his socks into five groups. Let s represent the total number of socks. Which expression and solution represent the number of socks in each group if s=20?
A. S/5; when s=20, the number of socks in each group is 4.
B. S/5; when s=20, the number of socks in each group is 15.
C. S-5; when s=20, the number of socks in each group is 4.
D. s-5; when s=20, the number of socks in each group is 15.
Pls help
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
If Henry has 20 socks and he split them into a group of 5, he would have 4 socks in each group. To solve this equation you must divide the number of socks by the number of groups. Once you do this, you will get the number of socks in each group.

Which inequality describes all the solutions to -3(4 – x) + 6 < 9 – 2x?
Answer:
To do inequalities, you just need to solve the equality and then figure out what side (higher or lower) the solution is on and put in the appropriate greater-than, less-than, greater-than-or-equal-to or less-than-or-equal-to sign.
Think about the equality for this one. What equation could we right for the average number of words per week that would put Trevor right at 50,000 after 5 weeks.
If we call the number of words per week, w, we would have
w = [an expression] (You find the expression using the number of words he has to write and how many weeks he has.)
Now think about the inequality. Trevor wants to finish in five weeks or less. So as long as he writes at least this number of words per week, he'll make it. That means we want a greater-than-or-equal to sign:
w ≥ [your expression]
Step-by-step explanation:
The inequality which describes all the solutions to the inequality is
x < 3
Given the inequality expression given as -3(4 – x) + 6 < 9 – 2x, we need to find the solution to the system of inequality as shown:
[tex]-3(4 -x) + 6 < 9 - 2x[/tex]
Expand the bracket
[tex]-3(4 -x) + 6 < 9 - 2x\\-12+3x+6<9-2x\\3x-6<9-2x\\3x+2x<9+6\\5x<15\\x<15/5\\x<3[/tex]
Hence the inequality which describes all the solutions to the inequality is
x < 3

HELP PLEASE! THIS IS DUE TOMORROW AT 8:20 AM!
Answer:
He wakes up at 6:20 am!
Step-by-step explanation:
First we find how many minutes Tim walks to school.
60/12 = 5 Basically we are finding how much 1/12 is and multiplying it by 5, we can use other ways to, but this is how I do it.
5x5=25
7:35 - 0:25 = 7:05 am is the time for Getting Ready For School
3/4 = 60/4 = 45 min
7:05 - 0:45 = 6:20 am is the time Tim woke up.

Answer: y= x +3
1) find slope using rise over run. Find your coordinates. I used (-3,0) and (0,3). Rise over run with these values : 3-0/0- -3. You should get 1 as a slope after adding and simplifying. Y=1x+b is your equation. Plug in your y and x values to the equation: 3= 0x1 +b. Multiply: 3= 0+b. B is 3( your y intercept). The equation is y=x+3
