Andre’s school orders some new supplies for the chemistry lab. The online store shows a pack of 10 test tubes costs $4 less than

a set of nested beakers. In order to fully equip the lab, the school orders 12 sets of beakers and 8 packs of test tubes.
1. Write an equation that shows the cost of a pack of test tubes, t, in terms of the cost of a set of beakers, b.

2. The school office receives a bill for the supplies in the amount of $348. Write an equation with t and b that describes this situation.

3. Since t is in terms of b from the first equation, this expression can be substituted into the second equation where t appears. Write an equation that shows this substitution.

4. Solve the equation for b

5. How much did the school pay for a set of beakers? $

6. How much did the school pay for a pack of test tubes? $

10t = b - 4

12b+8t = $348

This is a system of equations. I’ll be solving through substitution.

In the first equation. solving for b (the easier variable to isolate) gives you:

b = 10t + 4

Substitute this into the second equation:

12(10t+4) +8t = 348

120t+48+8t = 348

128t = 300

t = 2.34375 —> round it to the nearest cent to get 2.34 dollars

b = 10t+4

b = 10(2.34)+4

b = 27.4 dollars

3) Last year Kerry’s take home pay was £15 000 She spent 40% of her take home pay on rent. She used the rest of her take home pa
gregori [183]
3,000. You take 15,000 and multiply by .4 to get how much she spent on rent (6,000). They you subtract the rent money from her total pay to get her money that she spent on living expenses, clothes and entertainment in total (9,000). Since she spent her money in six parts (3+2+1), you divide 9,000 by 6 to get 1,500 to get each part. Since for entertainment she has two parts you multiply 1,500 by 2 to get 3,000.

Which expressions are equivalent to -6n+(-12)+4n
Elza [17]

Answer:

-2n - 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Combine like terms. Note that each term has one variable (n). Also note  that one negative sign and one positive sign results in a negative sign.

-6n + (-12) + 4n = -6n  + 4n - 12 = -2n - 12

-2n - 12 is your answer
