What you do is you distribute the 5.
So your answer would be 5x+15
<span>four over nine of a mile in four over five of an hour

answer is : <span>four ninths over four fifths = five over nine mile per hour (first choice)</span>
P = pizza and c =cakes
Last week: 8p + 13c = 134
Today: 28p + 4c = 220
Let’s take the formula for today and subtract 28p from each side to isolate the 4c.
4c = 220 - 28p
Now divide each side by 4
c = (220 - 28p)/4
Simplify to c = 55 - 7p
Now go to the formula for last week, substitute the c for 55-7p
8p + 13(55 - 7p) = 134
8p + 715 - 91p = 134
Simplify to 715 - 83p = 134
Let’s add 83p to each side.
715 = 134 + 83p
Subtract 134 from each side
581 = 83p
Divide each side by 83
p = $7
20/100 x 8000 = 1600
1600 x 3 = 4800
8000 - 4800 = 3200
The motorcycle is worth $3,200 after three years.
