-8(1 + 5b) – 2(86 – 1) = 50

Mathematics
1 answer:
kati45 [8]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

b = -57/10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first distribute everything out:

-8(1 + 5b) = -8 * 1 + (-8) * 5b = -8 - 40b

2(86 - 1) = 2 * 85 = 170

So, we have:

-8 - 40b - 170 = 50

-40b - 178 = 50

-40b = 50 + 178 = 228

b = -228/40 = -57/10

Thus, the answer is b = -57/10.

Hope this helps!

Dawn has been using two bank accounts to save money for a car. the difference between account 1 and account 2 is $100. if she us
asambeis [7]
1) name the variables:

 - amount in account 1 "a"
 - amount in account 2 "b"

2) trtanslate the statements into equations:

<span>- the difference between account 1 and account 2 is $100.

=> a - b = 100

-  if she uses 3/8 of account 1 and 7/8 of account 2, Dawn will have a down payment of $2,000.

=> (3/8)a + (7/8)b = 2000

3) solve the system of equations

(1) a - b = 100
(2) (3/8)a + (7/8b) = 2000

Steps:

- multiply equation (1) by 7 and equaton (2) by 8

=>

(1) 7a - 7b = 700
(2) 3a + 7b = 16,000

- add the two equations

=>

7a + 3a - 7b + 7b = 700 + 16,000

- combine like terms:

10a = 16,700

- divide by 10:

a = 16,700 / 10 = 1670

- use equation (1) to find b:

a - b = 100 => b = a - 100 = 1670 - 100 = 1570

Answer: Dawn has $ 1670 in account 1 and $ 1570 in account 2. </span>
