To solve this problem, you'll need to subtract 25 (total quantity of roasted almonds) by the remaining variable of roasted almonds (3 1/2 lbs.), resultant towards finding how many pounds of roasted almonds Xavier had sold; Xavier had sold 21 1/2 pounds of almonds.
Answer:
1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
.5/2=.25=1/4
Answer:
(-4, 5)
Step-by-step explanation:
The problem is a system of equations where you have two variables and can use the method of eliminate (eliminating one of the variables) to solve. In this case, you will need to multiply one of the fractions by a factor to eliminate a variable. It seems easiest to multiply the first equation by a factor of -5:
-5(x - 3y) = -24 (distribute) -5x + 15y = 120
Add the equations:
-5x + 15y = 120
<u>+5x + 8y = -5</u>
23y = 115 (divide by 23)
y = 5
Solve for 'x': x - 3(5) = -24 or x - 15 = 24 (add 15) x = -4
Ordered pair: (-4, 5)
Answer:
5m - 5n - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
(3m - 4n - 7) - (8m + n - 6) =
3m - 4n - 7 - 8m - n + 6 =
5m - 5n - 1
