How can real life problems involving one variable be modeled and solved?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Writing an equation to model a real-world problem is often easier when you take the information given in the problem and express it in verbal form by using a few key words. This is very similar to translating verbal phrases into variable expressions. The difference is you will be translating a verbal sentence into an equation. Then, you can solve the equation using inverse operations.

Let’s look at an example.

Monica purchased a pair of tennis shoes that had this sticker on the bottom of the shoe.

$99.00$65.99

Use a verbal model to write and solve an equation to determine the amount of money Monica saved by purchasing the shoes on sale.

First, write a verbal model to represent the problem.

Verbal Model:

Sales Price+Amount Saved=Original Price

Next, name the variable.

Let ‘

s

’ represent the amount saved.

Next, solve the equation you have written. Remember an equation is like a balance scale. To keep the scale balanced, what you do to one side of the equation you must also do to the other side. When solving an equation your goal is to isolate the variable on one side of the equation and the numerical terms on the other side. This is done by performing inverse operations.

65.99+s=99.00

First, isolate the variable ‘

s

’ by subtracting 65.99 from both sides of the equation. Subtraction is the inverse of addition.

65.99−65.99+s=99.00−65.99

Next, simplify each side.

s=33.01

The answer is $33.01.

Answer 2

A variable can be any element that we can, in some way, change.

The general form of modeling and solving real life problems that involve one variable is:

Identify what the variable is and define it.Write the equation.Isolate the variable on one side of the equation.

So for example, something that we can define with a variable is "How many of one type of item we can buy if we know its price"

For example, if we know that a shirt costs $10, then the price of x of these shirts is:

y = $10*x

Now, if you know how much money you have, you can use this equation to find how many shirts you can buy.

For example, you know that you have $20, then y = $20

$20 = $10*x

To solve this we need to isolate the variable on one side:

$20/$10 = x

2 = x

You can buy two shirts.

Now, the general form of modeling and solving real life problems that involve one variable is:

Identify what the variable is and define it.Write the equation.Isolate the variable on one side of the equation.

“ Triangle A has side lengths 3,4 and 5 . Triangle B has side lengths 6,7 and 8 “

“1. Explain how you know that triangle B is not similar to triangle A”
“2. Give possible side lengths for triangle B so that it is similar to triangle A”

Answers

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

A. Given that ∆A has side lengths 3, 4, and 5, that corresponds to the side lengths 6, 7, and 8 of ∆B, both ∆s can only be similar to each other if the ratios of their corresponding side lengths are equal.

Thus:

[tex] \frac{3}{6} [/tex] ≠ [tex] \frac{4}{7} [/tex] ≠ [tex] \frac{5}{8} [/tex] .

✅The ratio of their corresponding side lengths is not equal, therefore, triangle B is not similar to triangle A.

B. To get the possible side lengths for triangle B to make it similar to triangle A, simply multiply each side length of triangle A by a scale factor.

Let's use a scale factor of 2.

3 × 2 = 6

4 × 2 = 8

5 × 2 = 10.

✅Possible side lengths for triangle B that will make it similar to triangle A are: 6, 8, and 10.

Joseph makes ornaments to sell at the craft fair. Each ornament requires 0.5 yards of velvet. At the fabric store, felt is sold by the foot. If Joseph wants to make 45 ornaments, how many feet of velvet must be buy? If the felt costs 10 cents ($0.10) per foot, what is the total cost of the velvet in dollars? A manufacture is making 1,000 times as many ornaments as Joseph to sell in stores nationwide. Write an expression using exponents to show how many yards of velvet the manufacture will need. Do not calculate the total.

Answers

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

A. Since each ornament requires 0.5 yards of velvet and Joseph wants to make 45 ornaments, the number of yards of velvet she must be buy will be:

= 45 × 0.5

= 22.5 yards

Since 1 yard = 3 feet

22.5 yards = 22.5 × 3 = 67.5 feet

B. If the felt costs 10 cents ($0.10) per foot, what is the total cost of the velvet in dollars.

Total Cost = 67.5 × $0.10 = $6.75

C. A manufacture is making 1,000 times as many ornaments as Joseph to sell in stores nationwide. The amount of yards needed will be:

= 1000(45 × 0.5)

since there are 5,280 feet in one mile and 3.3 feet in one meter how many meters per second are equivalent to 50 miles per hour

Answers

Given:

1 mile = 5280 feet

1 meter = 3.3 feet

convert 60 miles per hour to meters per second

60 miles to meters

60 miles x 5280ft x 1meter = (60*5280m)/3.3 = 316800m/3.3

                 1 mile    3.3ft

= 96,000 meters

1 hour to seconds

1 hour x 60 minutes x 60 seconds =   1 * 60 * 60sec = 3600 seconds

               1 hour            1 minute

unit rate: meters per second

96000 meters ÷ 3600 seconds = 26 2400/3600

simplify 26 2400/3600 ⇒ 26 2/3 meters per second

2400 ÷ 1200 = 2

3600 ÷ 1200 = 3

7. Sorry, I couldn't figure out how to solve this question :(

Step-by-step explanation:

Since I'll be using a similar method to solve these questions, I won't go into a detailed explanation for how I solved every single question. If you do need extra help, please ask in the comments below my answer.

1. Let's use part (a) as an example. The ratio is 3:10. To new ratio is ?:40. So, 10 becomes 40. What number multiplied by 10 equals 40? The answer is 4. If 10 is multiplied by 4, then 3 must be multiplied by 4 as well. 3*4 = 12, so the ratio is 12:40.

In part b the ratio is multiplied by 3, part c is 4, and part d is 1/2.

2. To solve this, add the values on both sides of the ratio together: 2 + 5 = 7. Now, divide the total number of pupils, 140, by 7: 140/7 = 20. Finally, multiply 20 by both sides of the ratio: 2 * 20:5 * 20 = 40:100. There are 40 boys and 100 girls.

3. To solve this I used the same method as the one I used in question 1.

4. The ratio is 5:140, where 140 becomes 2000. To solve, use the method used in question 1.

5. Simplifying ratios is the same as simplifying fractions. Find the greatest common factor of the values on both sides of the ratio and divide both sides by that factor. For example, in part a the factor for 45:20 is 5. 45/5 = 9 and 20/5 = 4. The ratio becomes 9:4.

For part b the factor is 9 and for part c the factor is 50.

6. Same method as was used in question 2.

Hope this helps :)

x = 4°

Step-by-step explanation:

According to exterior angle sum property , sum of two opposite interior angles of the triangle is equal to the exterior angle.

So, using exterior angle sum property :-

mBDC + mBCD = mWBC

=> 8x - 1 + 46° = 18x + 5

=> 18x - 8x = 46 - 1 - 5

=> 10x = 40

=> x = 4°

The measure of the supplement of ∠BAC is (18x+22) degrees. The measure of the complement of ∠BAC is (9x-5) degrees. Determine m∠BAC.

Answers

Answer:

∠ABC = 32°

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the two angles are termed as supplementary when their angle measures add up to 180 degrees.

Given that the measure of the supplement of ∠BAC is (18x+22) degrees.

so

∠ABC +  (18x + 22)° =180°

∠ABC +  18x  =180°-22°

∠ABC +  18x  =158°

∠ABC = 158° - 18x ----[Equation A]

We know that the two angles are termed as complementary when their angle measures add up to 90 degrees.

Given that the measure of the complement of ∠BAC is (9x-5) degrees.

so

∠ABC +  (9x-5)° =90°

∠ABC +  9x  =90°+5°

∠ABC +  9x  =95°

∠ABC = 95° - 9x ----[Equation B]

Equating [Equation A] and [Equation B]

158° - 18x = 95° - 9x

-18x+9x = 95° - 158°

-9x = -63

divide both sides by -9

x = 7

Now, substituting the value x=7 in the [Equation A]

∠ABC = 158° - 18(7)

          = 158° - 126°

          = 32°

Thus,

∠ABC = 32°
