Answer:
x = 2.13 × 10^11
Approximately 2.13 × 10^11 mails were processed in 2006
Completed question;
There were approximately 1.6 * 10^11 pieces of mall processed by the United States Postal
Service in 2012. This is about 75% of the number of pieces of mail processed in 2006.
Approximately how many pieces of mail were processed by the United States Postal Service in
2006
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of mails processed in year 2006
Given;
Number of mails processed in 2012 N = 1.6 × 10^11
Number of mails processed in 2012 N is about 75% of the number of pieces of mail processed in 2006.
So;
N = 75% of x
N = 0.75x
x = N/0.75
x = (1.6 × 10^11)/0.75
x = 2.13 × 10^11
Approximately 2.13 × 10^11 mails were processed in 2006
8y = 4x -16
-x = -2y -4
Multiply all terms in the second equation by -1:
-x = -2y -4 x -1 = x = 2y +4
Now replace x in the first equation with this.
8y = 4(2y+4)
Simplify:
8y = 8y +16
Because there is an 8y on both sides of the equation, it cannot be solved.
The answer is no solution.
Answer:
P = $7.00
Step-by-step explanation:
Movie tickets = $8.50
Drink = $4.75
Two friends also bought popcorn
Total spent by the group = $53.75
Given equation:
3(8.50 + 4.75) + 2p = 53.75
Where,
P = cost of one order of popcorn
3(8.50 + 4.75) + 2p = 53.75
25.50 + 14.25 + 2p = 53.75
39.75 + 2p = 53.75
2p = 53.75 - 39.75
2p = 14
p = 14 / 2
p = 7
p = $7.00
