Answer:
the top is 16/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Shea bought 13.5 pounds of corn
c = pounds of corn
b = pounds of beans
Here’s what we know:
c(0.99) + b(0.45) = 18.09
c + b = 24
Solve the second equation for c in terms of b
c = 24-b
Substitute that expression for c in our first equation to get a numerical solution for b:
0.99 (24-b) + 0.45b = 18.09
23.76 - 0.99b + 0.45b = 18.09
-0.54b = -5.67
b = 10.5
Substitute that value to get a numerical value for c:
c = 24 - b
c = 24 - 10.5
c = 13.5
Check the math:
0.99(13.5) + 0.45(10.5) =
13.365 + 4.725 = 18.09
Answer:
y = -1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
When you expand the equation, you will have
9x + 9=25 + x
Next you have to collect like terms
+x will go over the equality sign to become -x. The same applies to +9
9x - x=23 - 9
9x minus x is 8x
8x=14
Divide both sides by 8
x=14/8
You will have 1 6/8
6 is the remainder while 1 is the number of times 8 divided 14.
In decimal, it will be 1.75
Hope that helped. Good luck
