If 12 shirts and a dress cost $450 and a dress costs the same as 3 shirts, then how much does a dress cost? i don’t need an answer, i just need an equation set up, .

First, let's identify some variables:

d = dress price

s = shirt price

d = 3s

12s + d = 450

Because d = 3s, we can substitute the variable:

12s + 3s = 450

15s = 450

s = 30

The shirt costs $30, and the dress $10

total of apples - take away four

6-4 = 2

answer is 2 apples

a.) list the factors of 40.

1/2/4/5/8/10/20/40

b.) list the factors of 40 that represent the number of cans that could be on each shelf.

5

c.) how many different arrangements of cans are possible?

just one because if you put more on one shelf you will go way over 40 and the cabinet will probably break.

d.) what are the possible arrangements of the cans?

put 5 cans on each self to reach 40 cans in total.

e.) which arrangement uses all the shelves?

5 because you can put 5 cans on each shelf, and since there are 8 shelfs you are equally going to get 40 cans.
