You are buying 2 items so let's use two different variables to represent each:
p = number of tubes of paint
b = number of disposable brushes
cost = price per item × number of items
Equations from information given:
4p + 0.50b = 20 ← from the first 2 sentences
2p = b ← if there are twice as many brushes as paint tubes you need 2 times paint tubes to equal number of brushes
Solve the problem by using substitution... 1b equals 2p so replace b with that:
4p + 0.50(2p) = 20
4p + 1p = 20 ← 0.50 is half so half of 2p is 1p
5p = 20 ← combine like terms
p = 4 ← divide both sides of the equation by 5
Recall the equation 2p = b replace p with 4
2(4) = b
8 = b
ANSWER:
You purchased 4 tubes of paint and 8 disposable brushes.
Answer: i would help but i have no idea but i think its (a)
Step-by-step explanation:
add the a´s first then the b´s
Divide the numerator and denominator by their gcf (25)
75/25= 3
100/25= 4
Final answer: 3/4
Answer:
213.3
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume of a pyramid is 1/3 base times height.
Using this formula, our square base is 8*8, or 64 square units.
Multiplying that by the height, 10. We get 64*10, 640.
Finally dividing by 3, we have 213.3333333333...
Rounding that to the nearest tenth, 213.3.
