the height of a 2-story house is 26 feet. the house has an attic space of 6 feet. what is the height x of each story
To find the height of each story, you need to subtract the attic space from the total height of the house.
The total height of the house is 26 feet.
The attic space is 6 feet.
Height of each story = Total height - Attic space
= 26 feet - 6 feet
= 20 feet
Therefore, the height of each story is 20 feet.
you order two servings of pancakes and a fruit cup. the cost of the fruit cup is $1.50. you leave a %15 tip. your total bill is $11.50. how much does one serving of pancake cost?
Let's assume the cost of one serving of pancakes is x dollars.
The cost of two servings of pancakes would be 2x dollars.
Adding the cost of the fruit cup, the total bill before tipping would be 2x + 1.50 dollars.
Since you left a 15% tip, the total bill including the tip would be 1.15 times the total bill before tipping.
Therefore, the equation can be written as:
1.15 * (2x + 1.50) = 11.50
Simplifying the equation:
2.3x + 1.725 = 11.50
2.3x = 11.50 - 1.725
2.3x = 9.775
x = 9.775 / 2.3
x ≈ 4.25
Therefore, one serving of pancakes costs approximately $4.25.
the area of a postcard is 24 spuare inches. the height of a postcard is 4 inches and the width of the postcard is b+3. write and salve an equation for b.
To solve for b, we can use the formula for the area of a rectangle: Area = Length × Width. In this case, the length is given as 4 inches and the width is b + 3.
The area of the postcard is given as 24 square inches, so we can set up the equation as follows:
24 = 4(b + 3)
To solve for b, we will need to simplify and isolate the variable.
First, we distribute the 4 to both terms inside the parentheses:
24 = 4b + 12
Next, we can subtract 12 from both sides of the equation:
24 - 12 = 4b + 12 - 12
12 = 4b
Finally, we divide both sides by 4 to solve for b:
12/4 = 4b/4
3 = b
Therefore, the value of b is 3.
To find the height x of each story, we need to subtract the height of the attic space from the total height of the house.
The height of the house is 26 feet and the attic space is 6 feet.
Therefore, the height x of each story can be calculated as follows:
x = Total height of the house - Height of the attic space
= 26 feet - 6 feet
= 20 feet
So, the height x of each story is 20 feet.
To find the height of each story, we need to subtract the height of the attic from the total height of the house.
Given:
Total height of the house = 26 feet
Height of the attic = 6 feet
To find the height of each story, we subtract the height of the attic from the total height of the house:
Height of each story = Total height of the house - Height of the attic
= 26 feet - 6 feet
= 20 feet
So, the height of each story is 20 feet.
