Jessica, Kareem, and Lamar served a total of 64 orders Monday at the school cafeteria. Jessica served 8 fewer orders than Lamar. Kareem served 2 times as
many orders as Lamar. How many orders did they each serve?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Jessica: 10 orders

Lamar: 18 orders

Kareem: 36 orders

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first designate each person with a letter.

The number of orders served by Jessica can be designated as [tex]J[/tex]

The number of orders served by Kareem can be designated as [tex]K[/tex]

The number of orders served by Lamar can be designated as [tex]L[/tex]

We know that they all served a total of 64 orders. This can be expressed as the sum of their orders equaling 64.

[tex]J+K+L=64[/tex]

We also know that Jessica served 8 fewer orders than Lamar. This can be expressed as the number of orders served by Jessica, [tex]J[/tex], being equal to Lamar's orders [tex]L[/tex] minus 8.

[tex]J = L-8[/tex]

Fianlly, we know that Kareem served twice as many orders as Lamar. This can be expressed as the number of order's served by Kareem, [tex]K[/tex], being 2 times Lamar's orders [tex]L[/tex].

[tex]K = 2L[/tex]

With these 2 equalities, we can substitute [tex]J[/tex] and [tex]K[/tex] in our original equation,

[tex]J+K+L=64[/tex]

with their values expressed as a subtraction or multiplication of [tex]L[/tex].

[tex]J[/tex] will be substituted with [tex]L-8[/tex], and [tex]K[/tex] will be substituted with [tex]2L[/tex].

[tex]J+K+L=64[/tex]

With substitutions:

[tex](L-8) + 2L + L = 64[/tex]

We can simplify this by combining the L-terms:

[tex]L + 2L + L -8 = 64\\4L - 8 = 64[/tex]

Next, we'll add 8 to both sides.

[tex]4L = 72[/tex]

Divide both sides by 4:

[tex]L = 18[/tex]

Thus, Lamar served 18 orders.

Using our expressions, we can find how many orders the others served.

Jessica:

[tex]J = L-8\\J = 18 -8\\J = 10[/tex]

Jessica served 10 orders.

Kareem:

[tex]K = 2L\\K = 2*18\\K = 36[/tex]

Kareem served 36 orders.

9.1 = -0.2x + 10
10 = 9.1 + 0.2x
10 – 0.2x = 9.1
9.1 – 10 = 0.2x

Answers

Answer:

D. 9.1 – 10 = 0.2x

Step-by-step explanation:

I got it right

The odd equation with a different value is equation d

Data;

9.1 = -0.2x + 1010 = 9.1 + 0.2x10 - 0.2x = 9.19.1 - 10 = 0.2x

Linear Equation

To solve this problem, we have to solve each of the linear equations and get the value of x.

a)

[tex]9.1 = -0.2x + 10\\10 - 9.1 = 0.2x\\0.9 = 0.2x\\\frac{0.2x}{0.2} = \frac{0.9}{0.2} \\x = 4.5[/tex]

b)

[tex]10 = 9.1 + 0.2x\\0.2x = 10 - 9.1\\0.2x = 0.9\\\frac{0.2x}{0.2} = \frac{0.9}{0.2} \\x = 4.5\\[/tex]

c)

[tex]10 - 0.2x = 9.1\\-0.2x = 9.1 - 10\\-0.2x = -0.9\\x = 4.5[/tex]

d)

[tex]9.1 - 10 = 0.2x\\0.2x = -0.9\\x = -4.5[/tex]

The odd equation with a different value is equation d

lisa an experienced shipping​ clerk, can fill a certain order in 7 hours. ​bill, a new​ clerk, needs
8 hours to do the same job. Working​ together, how long will it take them to fill the​ order?

Answers

Answer:

3.73 hours

Explanation:

In 1 hour, Lisa does 1/7th of the order while Bill does 1/8th of the order in an hour. To find out how long it will take them to fill the order, we have to:

Step 1:

Add the rate of both Lisa and Bill together

1/7 + 1/8

Step 2:

Since both denominators of the fractions are different, you have to find the least common multiple of 7 and 8

7·8= 56    8·7= 56

which is 56.

Step 3:

Then, you have to multiply the numerator of 1/7 with 8 and the numerator of 1/8 with 7.

1·8= 8    1·7= 7

The fractions would now have equal denominators:

Lisa: 8/56    Bill: 7/56

Step 4:

Now, you can add them together

8/56 + 7/56

which equals to 15/56. Both Lisa and Bill together completes 15/56th of the order in 1 hour.

Step 5:

15/56 is not the final answer as it is the RATE of them working together. To find how long it will take them total to complete the order, you must divide 56 with 15.

56/15

which is 3.73 hours in decimal form (rounded).
