Answer:
sas
Step-by-step explanation:
There should be 1,400 pages in an order that costs the same for both companies.
Let x be the unknown number of pages.
1st Company = 42 + 0.05x
2nd Company = 0.08x
0.08x = 42 + 0.05x
0.08x - 0.05x = 42
0.03x = 42
0.03x / 0.03 = 42 / 0.03
x = 1400 pages
To check
0.08x = 42 + 0.05x
0.08 (1400) = 42 + (0.05 * 1400)
112 = 42 + 70
112 = 112
The answer is 5 7/8
b/c 2 1/2 = 2 4/8
so then convert 8 3/8 as an improper fraction which is 67/8
and do the same w/ 2 4/8 which is 20/8
the do: 67/8 - 20/8 = 47/8
simplify 47/8 = 5 7/8.
Your answer is 5 7/8 inches of ribbon left.
