They made 3000$ in profit 500x100=50k
470x100=47k
47,000-50000=3000
Answer:
18/5 = 3.6 (note that 3/2 = 1.5 )
the actual division is 3.387
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
C- Divide both sides by 3.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to isolate the variable, we will have to remove all non-1 coefficients from the variable. Since 3b can be written as 3(b), b is being multiplied by 3. So the only way to isolate the variable is to do inverse operations, which would be to divide both sides of the inequality by 3.
Hope this helped!
I'd suggest using "elimination by addition and subtraction" here, altho' there are other approaches (such as matrices, substitution, etc.).
Note that if you add the 3rd equation to the second, the x terms cancel out, and you are left with the system
- y + 3z = -2
y + z = -2
-----------------
4z = -4, so z = -1.
Next, multiply the 3rd equation by 2: You'll get -2x + 2y + 2z = -2.
Add this result to the first equation. The 2x terms will cancel, leaving you with the system
2y + 2z = -2
y + z = 4
This would be a good time to subst. -1 for z. We then get:
-2y - 2 = -2. Then y must be 0. y = 0.
Now subst. -1 for z and 0 for y in any of the original equations.
For example, x - (-1) + 3(0) = -2, so x + 1 = -2, or x = -3.
Then a tentative solution is (-3, -1, 0).
It's very important that you ensure that this satisfies all 3 of the originale quations.
Remember that "of" means to multiply.
(1/12) of 180 coins are dimes. The number of dimes will be
(1/12)*180 = 180/12 = 15
