Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

(5 - a) = 20 + (6a -1) . . . . . 5-a is 20 greater than 6a-1

5 = 7a +19 . . . . . . . . . . . . . add a, collect terms

-14 = 7a . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 19

-2 = a . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 7

The value of the variable is -2.

_____

<u>Check</u>

5 - (-2) = 7

6(-2) -1 = -13

7 is 20 greater than -13, so the answer checks OK.

You and a friend are heading to Frankie's Fun Park (Columbia, SC). You have $100 for the day, and plan to spend your time riding
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

8r + 6s = 100 --- (a)

s = -2 ---- (b)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Per ride (r) = $8

Per baseballs (s) = $6

Total = $100

Required

Represent using an equation

If 1 ride is $8.

r rides would be 8r

If 1 baseball is $6

s baseballs would be 6r.

So, total is:

8r + 6s = 100

Solving (b):

Value of s when r = 14

8r + 6s = 100

Substitute 14 for r

8 * 14 + 6s = 100

112+ 6s = 100

Solve for 6s

6s = 100 - 112

6s = -12

Solve for s

s = -12/6

s = -2
