A paper store sells wrapping paper rolls and bags. In the spring, they order a ratio of 3:7 in wrapping paper bags in the spring

Maru [420]

If it can be assumed that the total number paper and bags is the same for both orders, then:

#bags ordered in the spring=7*(150/3)=350, so the total of both is 150+350=500. A 5:5 ratio means that the wrapping paper and bags were bout in equal quantities. That means 500/2=250 for each.

4x-y=10 and y=2x-2 answers

Brums [2.3K]

4x - y = 10, y = 2x - 2

4x - (2x -2) = 10

4x - 2x + 2 = 10

2x = 8

x = 4

4(4) - y = 10

-y = -6

y = 6

So x = 4 y= 6

Hope this helps!
