To find the best estimate for x, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation.
Start by subtracting 902 from both sides of the equation:
-2x + 902 - 902 = 1,518 - 902
Simplifying, we get:
-2x = 616
To solve for x, divide both sides of the equation by -2:
-2x/ -2 = 616/ -2
Simplifying further, we get:
x = -308
Therefore, the best estimate for x is -300, which is closest to the calculated value of -308.
So, the correct answer is:
−300
To find the approximate total number of cells, we can add up the number of cells in each petri dish.
22,340 + 43,560 + 36,612 = 102,512
Therefore, the approximate total number of cells is 102,512.
So, the correct answer is:
100,000
To find the best estimate for x, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation.
Start by adding 94 to both sides of the equation:
x/50 - 94 + 94 = 189 + 94
Simplifying, we get:
x/50 = 283
To solve for x, multiply both sides of the equation by 50:
50 * (x/50) = 283 * 50
Simplifying further, we get:
x = 14,150
Therefore, the best estimate for x is 14,150, which is closest to the calculated value.
So, the correct answer is:
15,000
To find the total earnings from tacos, we need to multiply the number of each type of taco sold by the price of each taco and then add them together.
For the carne asada tacos:
11,321 tacos * $3.89 = $44,055.69
For the chicken tacos:
13,132 tacos * $3.89 = $51,008.68
For the carnitas tacos:
8,982 tacos * $3.89 = $34,973.98
Adding these three amounts together gives us the total earnings:
$44,055.69 + $51,008.68 + $34,973.98 = $130,038.35
Therefore, the best estimate for their total earnings from tacos is $130,000, which is closest to the calculated value.
So, the correct answer is:
$130,000
To find the best estimate for x, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation.
Start by subtracting 1,998 from both sides of the equation:
21x + 1,998 - 1,998 = 2,243 - 1,998
Simplifying, we get:
21x = 245
To solve for x, divide both sides of the equation by 21:
21x/21 = 245/21
Simplifying further, we get:
x = 11.67
Therefore, the best estimate for x is 10, which is closest to the calculated value of 11.67.
So, the correct answer is:
10
To find the best estimate for x in the given equation -2x + 902 = 1,518, we need to solve for x.
First, we need to move the constant term to the other side of the equation. Subtract 902 from both sides:
-2x + 902 - 902 = 1,518 - 902
-2x = 616
Then, divide both sides of the equation by -2 to isolate x:
-2x / -2 = 616 / -2
x = -308
So, the best estimate for x in the equation -2x + 902 = 1,518 is -308.
Therefore, the correct answer choice would be "-300" or "negative 300".
There are three petri dishes in a laboratory. The first one contains 22,340 cells, the second contains 43,560 cells, and the last dish contains 36,612 cells. Approximately how many cells are there in total?(1 point)
