So, bike=b and accessories=a.
b+a=320
Since the bike is worth 7 times more than the accessories, the b would turn into 7a (because 7 times the cost of accessories is the cost of the bike).
The equation would now turn into 7a+a=320.
Solve for a.
7a+a=320
8a=320
a=40
Now that you know the cost of the accessories, you multiply that 40
by 7 to get the cost of the bike.
40(7)
280
The cost of the bike is $280.
The cost of the accessories are/is $40.
X-ounces of an oil blend,
y - ounces of glycerin
x + y = 4 ⇒ y = 4 - x
1.5 x + y = 5.50
1.5 x + 4 - x = 5.50
0.5 x = 5.50 - 4
0.5 x = 1.50
x = 3
y = 4 - 3 = 1
There are 3 ounces of an oil blend and 1 ounce of glycerin.
