The answer is 193.77 because 239.64-45.87 is 193.77.
Answer: the cost of each bush is $15
the cost of each flower is $2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the cost of each bush.
Let y represent the cost of each flower.
Portia bought 12 bushes and 30 flowers for $240 to plant in her yard. This is expressed as
12x + 30y = 240- - - - - - - - - - -1
Later, she realized she did not have enough plants and bought 7 more bushes and 10 more flowers for $125. This is expressed as
7x + 10y = 125- - - - - - - - - - -2
Multiplying equation 1 by 7 and equation 2 by 12, it becomes
84x + 210y = 1680
84x + 120y = 1500
Subtracting, it becomes
90y = 180
y = 180/90
y = 2
Substituting y = 2 into equation 1, it becomes
12x + 30 × 2 = 240
12x + 60 = 240
12x = 240 - 60 = 180
x = 180/12
x = 15
So first you would multiply $6.50 by 4.5 and you get 29.25, so that represents how much she would make in one day! Then multiply 5 days a week by 6 weeks and you get 30 then multiply $29.25 by 30 to get the total!
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 2x + 2
x =
y =
(x) =
<span>We convert the sentences to mathematical expressions as follows
"</span>Four times the sum of the least and greatest integers" : 4[n+(n+2)]
"is 12 less than three times the least integer": = 3n-12
So we have:
4[n+(n+2)]=3n-12 (this is the equation)
4[2n+2]=3n-12
8n+8=3n-12
8n-3n=-12-8
5n=-20
n=-20/5=-4
Answer: the equation is 4[n+(n+2)]=3n-12 , the least integer is -4
