(a) how much potting soil he bought last week
(b) 28 = 2p + 4
(c) 28 = 2p + 4....subtract 4 from both sides
28 - 4 = 2p...simplify
24 = 2p...divide both sides by 2
24/2 = p....simplify
12 = p......12 solves the equation
(d) He bought 12 lbs of potting soil last week
Answer:
7000 in the account that paid 9% interest rate and 3000 in the account that paid 8% interest rate
Step-by-step explanation:
Let $x be invested in account 1 and $(10000-x) in the second account
Then, 870=x*9/100+(10000-x)*8/100
x=$7,000.
Now Steve, you can tap these into your calculator one by one,
get all the quotients, and mark the ones that are 4.2, all in about
3 minutes.
There are three (3) of them in the list.
One of them is 'C'. 27.3 ÷ 6.5 = 4.2
Now pick up your calculator and find the other two. You can do it !
Step 1: Set the two equations equal to each other and solve for x.
3x -5 = 6x - 8
3x + (-5+5) = 6x -8 + 5
(3x - 6x) = (6x - 6x) - 3
-3x/-3 = -3/-3
x = 1
Step 2: To solve for y take one of the given equation of your choice (for the purpose of this explanation I will only do y = 3x - 5) and replace x with 1, then solve for y
y = 3(1) - 5
y = 3 - 5
y = -2
(1,-2)
Check:
-2 = 3(1) - 5 ---> - 2 = -2
-2 = 6(1) - 8 ---> -2 = -2
Hope this helped!

Answer: 10%</h3>
Work Shown:
2/20 = 0.10 = 10%
Note that 10% of 20 = 0.10*20 = 2 dollars is the sales tax to help confirm the answer.
