Let cheese wafers = x
chocolate wafers = y

we know they bought 20 total packets so x+y = 20, this can be re-written as x = 20-y

cheese wafers cost 2, so we have 2x
chocolate wafers cost 1, so we have 1y, which is just the letter y

so we know 2x + y = $25

replace x with x=20-y to get:

2(20-y)+y = 25

distribute the parenthesis:

40-2y +y = 25

combine like to terms to get:
40-y = 25

subtract 40 from each side"
-y = -15

divide both sides by -1
y = 15

chocolate wafers was y so they bought 15 chocolate wafers
cheese wafers was x, so they bought 20-15 = 5 cheese wafers

using the substitution method was the easiest way to isolate one of the variables in order to find the solution.

3 times a number xx, subtracted from 1818, is less than -90.?90. Write an inequality for the statement above. Find the solution

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

The solution set is: x>36

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that we have to subtract 3 times of some number 'x' from 18 such that the resulting equation is less than -90.

this means that : 18-3x<-90

on solving the inequality by adding 3x on both side and adding 90 on both side we get that

108<3x

now on dividing both side by 3 we get that

x>36

Hence our solution set is: x>36
