Solid paper costs 1.75 each
Printed paper costs 2.50 each
Given:
Ben = $43.50 (12 rolls solid paper and 9 rolls of
printed paper)
Joel = $51.50 (8 rolls solid paper and 15 rolls of
printed paper)
Let x = solid paper
Let y= printed paper
12x + 9y = 43.50
8x + 15y = 51.50
Find X:
8x + 15y = 51.50
8x = 51.50 - 15y
x= (51.50 - 15y)8
Substitute X:
12x + 9y = 43.50
12(51.50 - 15y)/8 + 9y = 43.50
(618 - 180y)/8 + 9y = 43.50
8 (618 - 180y)/8 + 8*9y = 43.50 * 8
618-180y + 72y =348
-108y = 348 - 618
-108y =-270
-108y/-108=-270/-108
Y= 2.50
x = (51.50 - 15y)/8
x = (51.50 - 15(2.5) /8
x= (51.50 - 37.50\8
X = 14/8
X = 1.75
To check: x = 1.75; y = 2.5
12x + 9y = 43.50
12(1.75) + 9(2.5) = 43.50
21 + 22.50 = 43.50
43.50 = 43.50
8x + 15y = 51.50
8(1.75) + 15(2.5) = 51.50
14 + 37.50 = 51.50
51.50 = 51.50
Hope that helps! Have a good day :)
Answer:
14 and 16
Step-by-step explanation:
your adding 2 to each each time, if your looking for the multiplied awnser its 224
Jay walks 2 1/4 miles which if you double it so the denominators are e same for both 2 1/4 and 1 1/8 then your answer will be 18/8 (Jay) and 9/8 (Reggie). Meaning that Reggie walks have the distance Jay walks.
The surface area 3 times greater than the area.
6 * 2 gives the area
the surface area is by multiplying area by 3.
this means that the surface area is 3x bigger than area.
