Francis owns a camping supply store and just put in an order for flashlights and sleeping bags. The number of flashlights ordered was five times the number of sleeping bags ordered.
The flashlights cost $12 each and the sleeping bags cost $45 each. If the total cost for the
flashlights and sleeping bags was $1785, how many sleeping bags did Francis order?

The number of sleeping bags bought is 17.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we let "x" be the number of the sleeping bags that were bought, we can make the following equation

(5x)(12) + (x)(45) = 1785

By solving the equation we get

(5x)(12) + (x)(45) = 1785

60x + 45x = 1785

105x = 1785

x = 1785 / 105

x = 17

There for the number of sleeping bags bough is 17.

the central idea is that:

individuals should refuse to cooperate with institutions they believe unjust.

thoreau felt  that governments were more often agents of corruption than justice, even democracies, and that just because the majority feels a certain way does not make it just or correct in absolute terms. he uses the fact that slavery exists in our democracy to support this idea.

he goes on to say that, as a result, people should live true to their own internal laws regarding right and wrong, as a product of reflection and a moral life, rather than following every law that society imposes.

answer is x<
