Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We first need to define a couple of variables. Let s = the cost of 1 squash and z = the cost of 1 zucchini.
Now lets translate the words into algebra:
"The cost of 5 squash and 2 zucchini is $1.32" ===> 5s + 2z = 1.32
"Three squash and 1 zucchini cost $0.75" ===> 3s + z = 0.75
There are several ways to solve systems of equations. Let's use substitution. We can find what z equals in terms of s by manipulating the second equation:
3s + z = 0.75
-3s -3s
------------ -------------
z = -3s +0.75
Now lets substitute (-3s + 0.75) into the first equation for z, then solve for s:
5s + 2(-3s + 0.75) = 1.32
Can you handle it from here?
(Hint: Once you have solved for s, you can substitute that value back into either of the equations and solve for z.)
Answer:
7c - 28
Step-by-step explanation:
7(c - 4)
(7 × c) + (7 × - 4)
7c + (7 × - 4)
7c + -28
7c - 28
89760÷5280=17 is how much feet is in a mile
Answer:
For this question, x = 16
Step-by-step explanation:
x/20 = 4/5
if we cross multiply, we will have
x × 5 = 4 × 20
5x = 80
x = 80/5
x = 16
Answer:
Since all three of the interior angles are the same degree, the three sides must be the same length. So, 3x - 5, 4x - 30, and 2x + 20 must be equal.
To solve for x, you can just set one of the sides equal to another one of the sides. I will do 3x - 5 and 4x - 30.
3x - 5=4x - 30
Add 5 to both sides.
3x = 4x - 25
Subtract 4x from both sides.
-x = -25
Divide both sides by -1.
x=25
