Part B:
A clothing donation store received numerous articles of clothing on Thursday of last week. The number of articles of clothing that the store received last Thursday is represented by the expression shown:

4 ( 3 x − 1 ) − 2 ( 6 + 2 x )

If x=12.5 how many articles of clothing did the store receive last Thursday?

Respuesta :

Articles of clothing that the store received last Thursday is 84

Solution:

Given that  

A clothing donation store received numerous articles of clothing on Thursday of last week.

The number of articles of clothing that the store received last Thursday is represented by the following expression:

4 (3x − 1) − 2 (6 + 2x)

Need to calculate articles of clothing that the store received last Thursday when x = 12.5

As on Thursday x = 12.5, need to substitute x = 12.5 in above equation to get number of articles received on Thursday.

On substituting x = 12.5, we get

4 ( (3 x 12.5 ) – 1 ) – 2 ( 6 + ( 2 x 12.5 ) )

=> 4 (37.5 – 1) – 2 (6 + 25)

=> 146 – 62 = 84

On substituting x = 12.5 , we are getting value of expression as 84.

Hence articles of clothing that the store received last Thursday is 84

The number of articles of clothing did the store received last Thursday is 84.

What is the linear system?

A Linear system is a system in which the degree of the variable in the equation is one. It may contain one, two, or more than two variables.

A clothing donation store received numerous articles of clothing on Thursday of last week.

The number of articles of clothing that the store received last Thursday is represented by the expression shown:

4(3x − 1) − 2(6 + 2x)

If x = 12.5, then the value of the expression will be

4(3 × 12.5 − 1) − 2(6 + 2 × 12.5)

4(37.5 − 1) − 2(6 + 25)

4(36.5) − 2(31)

146 − 42

84
