Answer:
x = 4.5
y = 3.25
Step-by-step explanation:
Use elimination
5x + 2y = 29
x + 4y = 13 (-5)
4y(-5) = 13(-5)
2y = 29
-20y = -65
y = 3.25
Sub it back into the equation
5x + 6.50 = 29
5x = 22.5
x = 4.5
Answer:
a. 1/2
b. 1 hair cut
c. 2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
4/8 divde by 4 to simplify and that gets you 1/2
8/4 is 2 so he does one hair cut every two hours
so you know how many he can do in 2 hours so add it up. It’s going to be 2 people in four hours so it will be half a hair cut in 5 hours
Since 2.5% as a decimal is .025, the equation to get this is:
(.025)(80000)
Once multiplied, these equal 2,000. Or in other words, the Smiths pay $2,000 in school taxes per year.
Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
Each serving uses 1 green pepper and 1/3 red pepper, so for 9 servings Moira needs 9 green peppers and 9/3 = 3 red peppers.
Given that 2 large puzzle costs $16 then
2l=16
or
l=8
That means cost of 1 large puzzle = $8
Given that 3 small puzzle costs $15 then
3s=15
or
s=5
That means cost of 1 small puzzle = $5
Now we will use this information to find the correct choice.
---
First choice is <u>wrong </u>as coefficient 8 is with 8l so that gives cost of 1 large not small puzzle.
---
Second choice is <u>correct </u>as coefficient 8 is with 8l so that gives cost of 1 large puzzle.
---
Third choice is <u>correct </u>as coefficient 5 is with 5s so that gives cost of 1 small puzzle.
---
Fourth choice is <u>Wrong </u>as coefficient 5 is with 5s so that gives cost of 1 small not large puzzle.
---
Fifth choice is <u>wrong </u>as constant 128 gives total cost of not the total number of puzzles.
