There should be 1,400 pages in an order that costs the same for both companies.
Let x be the unknown number of pages.
1st Company = 42 + 0.05x
2nd Company = 0.08x
0.08x = 42 + 0.05x
0.08x - 0.05x = 42
0.03x = 42
0.03x / 0.03 = 42 / 0.03
x = 1400 pages
To check
0.08x = 42 + 0.05x
0.08 (1400) = 42 + (0.05 * 1400)
112 = 42 + 70
112 = 112
The answer to this equation would be 278.135
Answer:
The variable is n
The coefficient is 2
And the solution to n is 10.
Step-by-step explanation:
The number in the equation is the variable. The coefficient is the number before the variable. And a number next to a letter means you multiply. So 2*5=10 10-3=7
