You have to translate the statement into a mathematical expression...

Six times the number of cattle, if we let c be the number of cattle is:

6c

Less 87 means to subtract 87 so

6c-87

is 999 means

=999

so all together we have:

6c-87=999  now we need to isolate the variable by itself on one side of the equal sign....

6c-87=999  add 87 to both sides

6c=1086  divide both sides by 6

c=181

So there are 181 cattle.

Joe bought 5 apples and 4 bananas for $6. Dawn bought 3 apples and 6 bananas for $6.30. How much foes each apple and each banana
zepelin [54]

Answer:

Apple = $0.6

Banana = $0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us represent Apple by A and Banana by B

For Joe,

5A + 4B = 6       (1)

For Dawn

3A + 6B = 6.3     (2)

To eliminate A, Multiply equation (1) by 3 and equation (2) by 5

15A + 12B = 18          (3)

15A + 30B = 31.5       (4)

subtracting equation (4) from (3)

15A - 15A +12B - 30B = 18 - 31.5

-18B = -13.5

divide through by -18

-18B/-18 = -13.5/-18

B = 0.75

substitute 0.75 in equation (1)

5A + 4B = 6

5A + 4(0.75) = 6

5A + 3 = 6

subtract 3 from both sides

5A + 3 - 3 = 6 - 3

5A = 3

divide through by 5

5A/5 = 3/5

A = 0.6
