3. Victoria counts this week's food donations at a pet shelter. There are 16 full cases of canned food. There are 4 cases of canned food that are missing 5 cans. Victoria records a total of 220 cans of food. Use c to represent the number of cans in a full case. What expression could represent the number of cans in each case that is missing cans?

We know that C is the total number of cans in a complete case.

Victoria counts:

16 full cases, so in those we have: 16*C cans.

4 cases with 5 missing cans, so in those we have:

Then if each case has C cans, the cases that are missing 5 cans have:

C - 5 cans.

Then in those four cases we have a total of: 4*(C - 5) cans.

And Victoria knows that there are 220 cans, then we have that:

16*C + 4*(C - 5) = 220

16*C + 4*C - 20 = 220

16*C + 4*C = 220 + 20 = 240

20*C = 240

C = 240/20 = 12

Then each case has 12 cans.

Then the number of cans in the cases with missing cans is:

12 cans - 5 cans = 7 cans.

let soccer = x and golf = y

part a

1st equation: x + y = 125

2nd equation: x = y +45

part b

replace x in the 1st equation with the 2nd one:

y + 45 + y = 125

simplify:

2y + 45 = 125

subtract 45 from each side:

2y = 80

divide both sides by 2:

y = 80/2

y = 40

she plays golf for 40 minutes.

part c

no because she plays soccer for 45 minutes longer than golf 40 +45 =   85 minutes, not 80 minutes.

step-by-step explanation:

169-1=168

168-3=165

165-5=160

160-7=153

153-9=144

144-11=133

133-13=120

120-15=105

105-17=88

88-19=69

69-21=48

48-23=25

25-25=0

since it took 13times to completely subtract it hence its square root is 13
