This is the quadratic formula.
Answer:
Plates are 2.80 Dollars and cups are 1.40 dollars
Step-by-step explanation:
Cups = c
Plates = p
6p + 5c = 23.80 ==> multiply by 6 ==> 36p + 30c = 142.80
7p + 6c = 28.00 ==> multiply by 5 ==> 35p + 30c = 140.00
Now use algebra to have the 30c be on one side and the rest on the other:
36p + 30c = 142.80 | -36p
30c = 142.80 - 36p
35p + 30c = 140.00 | -35p
30c = 140.00 - 35p
Now set them equal to each other about the 30c:
142.80 - 36p = 140.00 - 35p
Use algebra to solve for p:
142.80 - 36p = 140.00 - 35p | +36p
142.80 = 140.00 + p | - 140
2.80 = p
Go back to one of the "30c" equations and plug in the value for p:
30c = 140 - 35p
30c = 140 - 35(2.80)
30c = 140 - 98
30c = 42 | /30
c = 42/30
c = 1.4
Number of pages that the chapter has = 8
Number of pages of the chapter that Kosta read = (1/4) * 8
= 1 * 2
= 2
The number of pages of the chapter read by Christina = 3
Then
The total number of pages of the
chapter read by both of them = 2 + 3
= 5
So the total number of pages of the chapter that has been read by Kosta and Christina is 5. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.
