Answer:
zero
Step-by-step explanation:
If the same sum is received for the sale of 20 apples at price p as is received for the sale of 140 apples at price p, then we must have ...
20p = 140p
120p = 0 . . . . . . subtract 20p
p = 0 . . . . . . . . . divide by 120
The price was zero.
Answer: The number 12 represents admission charge in Mariana's equation.
Step-by-step explanation:
As per given ,
Total cost = ( Charge per ticket) (Number of tickets) + (Admission fees) (i)
For x = Number of tickets, the total cost (c) for a day at the amusement park is given as
(ii)
Here, 12 = Admission fees [Comparing (i) and (ii)]
Hence, the number 12 represents admission charge in Mariana's equation.
you move first the number without the variable to the other side with the opposite sign
-0.75p=0.25+2
-0.75p=2.25
then as -0.75 is multiplying you pass it to the other side dividing
p=2.25/-0.75
p=-3
