A coffee shop sells a coffee refill mug for $6.75. Each refill costs $1.25. Last month Kim spent $31.75 on a mug and refills. Write an equation you can use to find the number of refills Kim bought. How many refills did Kim buy?

equation: x(1.25) + 6.75 = 31.75 refills: 20

Step-by-step explanation:

The mug costs $6.75, and you aren't buying multiple cups, so that number stays the same. The number of refills is "x" since we do not know the amount. Next to "x" we multiply 1.25 for the cost of each refill. So now we have "x(1.25)" then we add $6.75 to the equation, for the mug price. Along with the total at the end. To which we now have "x(1.25) + 6.75 = 31.75"

Now we solve the equation. First, subtract 6.75 from each side

x(1.25) + 6.25 = 31.75

            -6.25    -6.25

Now we have "x(1.25) = 25" So we have to divide each side by 1.25

x(1.25/1.25) = 25/1.25

                x = 20

Therefore, Kim bought 20 refills. To check our work we can replace x with 20 in the original equation.

20(1.25) + 6.75 = 31.75

        25 + 6.75 = 31.75

                31.75 = 31.75

I'm not the best at explanations, but I hope this helped! :)

there has been genes found in the x chromosome of males that have been linked to [homo/hetero]sexuality. in addition to the reign of the x chromosome, a section of chromosome 8 has also been link to, "alot of ppl are so " these facts were proven true after a 2014 study of a gay male and his strait brother. according to newscientist.com,"chromosome 14 and is mainly active in the thyroid, but also the brain. called tshr, it makes a type of receptor protein that recognises and binds to a hormone that stimulates the thyroid. in this way, the gene plays an important role in controlling thyroid function. the fact that tshr seems to be involved in sexual orientation fits with evidence that thyroid function seems to be linked to sexuality."

in conclusion, "ppl are so gay" due to their genetics.

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

(7 x + 6 y) (49 x^2 - 42 x y + 36 y^2)

discussion:

the trick is to recognize that 343 = 7^3 and 216 = 6^3 and, in general,

a^3 + b^3 =   (a + b) (a^2 - a b + b^2).

in our case

343x^3+216y^3   =   (7x)^3 + (6y)^3

so take a = 7x and b = 6y in the above equation to get the answer.

you,
