Answer:
1/72=x (part a)
1/70=x (bart b)
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide 1 by 72 for part a, and divide 1 by 70 for part b.
(20 + 12) - 8, since the question states n is EIGHT less than the sum of 20 and 12.
I think the answer is (9,8)
Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
This can be solved by working backwards.
7 is one more than half the number of invitations.
Subtract 1. 6 is half the number of invitations.
Double.
12 is the full number of invitations.
Algebra (if you must!):
x = number of invitations
x/2 + 1 = 7
Subtract 1.
x/2 = 6
Multiply by 2.
x = 12
Answer:
There needs to be 300 liters of Drink A and 270 liters of Drink B
Step-by-step explanation:
Let a = the amount of Drink A and b = the amount of Drink B
Multiplying a number by 0.2 is the same as calculating 20% of it and same goes with 15% and 0.15. This makes our equation for the amount of fruit juice:
0.2a + 0.15b = 100.5
We know what the difference between a and b will be 30 liters so:
a - b = 30
Now we have our system of equations
To cancel out a, we can multiply the first equation by -5 so we will now have:
-a - 0.75b = -502.5
a - b = 30
Adding these two equations together, we get:
-1.75b = -472.5
Both sides are negative, so we can take the negative signs away.
1.75b = 472.5
Now divide both sides by 1.75
b = 270
Plugging 270 into b, we have:
a - b = 30
a - 270 = 30
Add 270 to both sides
a = 300
There needs to be 300 liters of Drink A and 270 liters of Drink B
