Ben had knee surgery and was given a prescription with instructions to take 4 tablets twice a day for pain on day 1, then take 3 tablets twice a day on days 2 through 6, then take 1 tablet twice a day. how many tablets will ben take in 7 days? show your work

40

Step-by-step explanation:4 tablets twice a day is 8 (4*2=8). 3 tablets twice a day (3*2=6) for days 2-6 which is 5 days (6*5=30) is 30. The 7th day is 1 tablet twice a day (1*2=2). You’re multiplying the tablets Ben has to take times 2. Add them all together and you have 40.

mr. flanders’ class sold 47 doughnuts and   mr. rodriquez’s class sold 38 cartons of milk

step-by-step explanation:

let x be the number of doughnuts sold by mr. flanders’ class and y be the number of cartons sold by mr. rodriquez’s class.

1. together, the classes sold 85 items, then

x+y=85.

2. both classes earn earned $104.49 for their school. if doughnuts were sold for $1.35 each, then x doughnuts costed $1.35x. if cartons of milk were sold for $1.08 each, then y cartons costed $1.08y. hence,

1.35x+1.08y=104.49.

3. solve the system of two equations:
