This is so easy that it's confusing, and NOBODY ever gets it right
the first time they see it.

Inside the parentheses are two numbers.  The first number is a value
for 'x', and the second number is a value for 'y', and they have to be
numbers that when you put them into the equation in place of 'x' and 'y',
the equation becomes a true statement.

In this problem, you already know what 'x' is ... it's -1 .  Now, can you find
a value for 'y' that makes the equation true ?

Let me ask you that question again.  It's <em>very, very important</em>:
The equation is . . . . . <em>Y = 8</em> . . . . . Can you find a value for 'y' that makes
this equation a true statement ?

Do you give up ?

Well, how about ' 8 ' ?
If you put ' 8 ' in place of 'y' in the equation, then the equation says . . . 8 = 8 . . . and that's true !

In fact, if you put <u>any other number</u> except '8' in place of 'y', then the
equation is <em>not </em>true.  'Y' must be 8 .  It doesn't matter what 'x' is.
'X' is not even in the equation. It has no effect on 'y'. 

'X' and 'y' don't even know about each other.  They're not related in
any way, and nobody cares what 'x' is.

'Y' is ALWAYS 8 ... that's exactly what the equation is telling you . . . <em>Y = 8</em> .

6. One variable only so pretty straightforward.

length-x+4

width-x

x+x+4=80

2x=76

x=38

x+4=42

answer: length 42cm and width 38cm

7. Another money problem!

n-# of nickels

q-# of quarters

n=3+q

0.05n+0.25q=2.85

Substitution works like a charm!

0.05(3+q)+0.25q=2.85

0.15+0.05q+0.25q=2.85

0.3q=2.7

q=9

n=3+q

n=3+9

n=12

answer: 9 nickels and 12 quarters

8. One variable situation again.

Ann's money-2b+9

Betty's money-b

b+2b+9=60

3b=51

b=17

2b+9=43

answer: Ann has $43 and Betty has $17.

9. # of red m&m's-x+1

# of blue m&m's-x

x+1+x=13

x=6

x+1=7

answer: 6 blue and 7 red m&m's

10. a-number of adult tickets

s-number of student tickets

a+s=785 ----> a=785-s

5a+2s=3280

5(785-s)+2s=3280

-3s=-645

s=215

a+s=785

a+215=785

a=570

answer: 215 children tickets and 570 adult tickets

Can someone help me on problems 9, 10 and 11 please!!!
Rasek [7]
9. You shouldn't agree, because they are equal to one another.

10. 84 cents plus 61 should be $1.45 because 84 + 61 is 145 and 100 cents equals 1 dollar, and then you have 45 left over.

100 - .63 is .37 because the whole painting is equal to 1, or .1, or in this case I used it as 100. The drawing is up to you, but you can just draw a canvas and shade in a little bit more than half but not the full canvas. .37 of the canvas is left.

crimeas [40]

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

Range is defined as the greatest possible number minus the lowest possible number. The highest is 150 (in thousands) and the lowest is 25, meaning the range would be 125,000 and not 150,000.

Hope this helps!
