There are 3 pairs of earrings that you bought in addition to the jeans. Forming an equation with the given values helps to find the required value.

<h3>How to write an equation for the given information?</h3>

It is given that,

A pair of jeans cost = $44

A pair of earrings cost = $12

you spent a total of $80 before taxes.

So, the equation for the given data is,

$80 = $44 + $12x

Where x is the number of pairs of earrings.

<h3>Calculation:</h3>

Simplifying the obtained equation:

$80 = $44 + $12x

⇒ 12x = 80 - 44

⇒ 12x = 36

⇒ x = 36/12

∴ x = 3

Thus, you can buy three pairs of earrings at the mall in addition to the jeans.

drek231 [11]

Answer: Time it took her to get to the school is 0.6 hours

The distance of the school from their home is 27 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Mrs Dang drove her daughter to school at the average speed of 45 miles per hour.

Let x miles = distance from the school to their home.

Distance = speed × time

Time = distance / speed

Time used in going to school will be

x/45

She returned home by the same route. This means that distance back home is also x miles.

She returned at an average speed of 30 miles per hour.

Time used in returning home from school will be x/30

x/45

If the trip took one half hour, then the time spent in going to school and the time spent in returning is 1 1/2 hours = 1.5 hours. Therefore

x/30 + x/45 = 1.5

(15x + 10x) /450 = 1.5

15x + 10x = 450 × 1.5 = 675

25x = 675

x = 675/25 = 27

Time it took her to get to the school will be x/45

= 27/45 = 0.6 hours
