<em>Greetings from Brasil...</em>
Let's add all the values on one side and make it equal to the sum of all the other values on the other side
(- X) + (- X) + (- X) + (- X) + (- X) + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = X + X + X + (- 1) + (- 1) + (- 1) + (- 1) + (- 1) + (- 1) + (- 1) + (- 1)
- 5X + 12 = 3X - 8
- 5X - 3X = - 8 - 12
- 8X = - 20 x(- 1)
8X = 20
X = 20/8
<h2>X = 5/2</h2>
<em>or X = 2.5</em>
Answer:
identifying the audience
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: the group rented 11 Person tubes and 4 cooler tubes
Step-by-step explanation:
There are two types of tubes, Person tube and cooler tube.
Let P represent number of Person tubes that the group rented.
Let C represent number of Cooler tubes that the group rented.
The group spends $270 to rent a total of 15 tubes and Person tube $20 Cooler tube $12.50. Two linear equations can be derived from the above information
P + C = 15 - - - - - - - 1
20P + 12.5C = 270 - - - -- - - 2
Substituting P = 15 - C into equation 2,
It becomes
20(15-C) + 12.5C = 270
300 - 20C + 12.5C = 270
- 20C + 12.5C = 270 -300
7.5C = - 30
C = 30/7.5 = 4
P = 15 - C
P = 15 - 4 = 11
You first find its intercepts: the x intercept is (5/3,0) and the y intercept is (0,5) (just plot those points). Then make the line connecting those 2 points!
