Answer:
x + 3y = 21
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation of the line: y =mx+ b
Multiply the equation by 3
3y = -x + 21
x + 3y = 21
From the information given, the original price per pound was increased by $ 0.75
Let the original price be x, so the new price is x + 0.75
Sam bought 3 pounds of apples at new price and it cost him 5.88
so we form an equation:
3 (x + 0.75) = 5.88
3x + 2.25 = 5.88
3x = 5.88 - 2.25
3x = 3.63
x = 3.63 / 3
x = 1.21
Therefore the original price per pound is 1.21 dollars
Answer:If Mary spent half of her allowance the equation will begin with 1/2x or 0.5x where x is her allowance and 0.5 is half of her allowance spent. Mary also earned 7 dollars by washing the car so this will be added to her allowance spent.
The problem says that after Mary has spent half of her allowance at the movies she was left with 18 dollars so that means that the equation must be equal to 18.
The equation you want to set up is
0.5x+7=18
Where, 18-7=11
0.5x=11
11/.5 = x
x = $22
Thus, Mary has a weekly allowance of 22 dollars.
Step-by-step explanation:
I would say that it would be less than. The question says Jenn shared a total of 40 jellybeans equally and to share with others, Jenn would have to divide the jellybeans among her friends. Since she is dividing the jellybeans, the amount each friend gets would be less than the total. Therefore it would be less than 40.
