Answer:
He subtracted incorrectly
Step-by-step explanation:
You multiply 42.75 x 4 and get 171. Then you add 171+52.45=223.45 and then you subtract 223.45-18=205.45 and then you multiply 223.45 x .3333 = 68.3265 or 68.33 (rounded)
Answer:
$27.87
Step-by-step explanation:
if it is 1 by 2 you would multiply 1 x 2 and get 2 then multiply 13.87 x 2 to get 27.87 and it leaves you with $27.87
Answer with Step-by-step explanation:
We are given an expression:
28 + x - 2n + 7 - n - 5x + 4
We have to find its equivalent expression
On combining the like terms of the above expression
28+4+7+x-5x-2n-n
= 39-4x-3n
= -3n-4x+39
According to Tyrone the equivalent expression was:
-3n - 5x + 39 + x
The error Tyrone made was:
A. Tyrone neglected to combine the x terms
Answer:
An apple costs $2.25. A mango costs $1.25.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let a = price of 1 apple.
Let m = price of 1 mango.
Cameron:
4 apples + 7 mangoes ----> total $17.75
4a + 7m = 17.75
Gavin:
2 apples + 5 mangoes ----> total $10.75
2a + 5m = 10.75
We have a system of 2 equations in 2 unknowns.
4a + 7m = 17.75
2a + 5m = 10.75
We can use the elimination method to eliminate the variable <em>a</em>. Rewrite the first equation. Multiply both sides of the second equation by -2 and write below it. Then add the equations.
4a + 7m = 17.75
(+) -4a - 10m = -21.5
---------------------------------
-3m = -3.75
Divide both sides by -3.
m = 1.25
<em>A mango costs $1.25.</em>
Now we use the first equation and substitute 1.25 for <em>m</em> and solve for <em>a</em>.
4a + 7m = 17.75
4a + 7(1.25) = 17.75
4a + 8.75 = 17.75
4a = 9
a = 2.25
<em>An apple costs $2.25.</em>
Answer: An apple costs $2.25. A mango costs $1.25.
