Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let first odd number = a, second odd number = a +2, third odd number = a + 4
a + a + 2 + a + 4 = 987
3a + 6 = 987
3a = 981
a = 327
First odd number = a = 327
Second odd number = a + 2 = 329
Third odd number = a + 4 = 331
Let, the cost of a belt = x
cost of a wallet = y
Then, system of equations would be:
x + y = 42
7x + 4y = 213
Multiply 1st equation by 4,
4x + 4y = 168
Substitute it from 2nd equation,
3x = 45
x = 15
Now, substitute it in 1st equation,
15 + y = 42
y = 42 - 15 = 27
In short, Belt costs $15 and wallet costs $27
Hope this helps!
Answer:100
Step-by-step explanation:
Expand
x = 150 - 0.5x
Add 0.5x to both sides
x + 0.5x = 150
Simplify x + 0.5x to 1.5x
1.5x = 150
Divide both sides by 1.5
x = 150/1.5
Simplify 150/1.5 to 100
x = 100
11 x 15 = $165
He will have $165 after 15 weeks.
