Answer:
-2
<em>BRAINLIEST, PLEASE!</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
5 - 3(2a + 1) = -4a + 10
5 - 6a - 3 = -4a + 10
2 - 6a = -4a + 10
-2a = 8
a = -4
-4 + 2 = -2
Answer:
$.999 for 1 pound
Step-by-step explanation:
If you divided both sides by 10. So 10/10= 1. 9.99/10= 0.999
The answer is 280 because if you multiply 400 by .3 you get 120 and if you subtract 120 from 400 you get 280
Answer:
1st number: 20
2nd number: 25
3rd number: 75
Step-by-step explanation:
x + y + z = 120
x = y - 5
z = 3y
plug that in!
(y-5) + y + (3y) = 120
remove the parenthesis (I used them to show you what I was replacing), and add like terms.
5y - 5 = 120
move -5 to the other side
5y = 120 + 5
5y = 125
divide both sides by 5
y = 25
now that you have one number, use the equations from before to solve for the rest!
x = (25) - 5
z = 3(25)

x = 20
y = 25
z = 75
Answer:
They sold
20 Roses and 20 Carnations
Step-by-step explanation:
The total sales of 40 flowers is $100 not $10 as in the question
Roses=$3
Carnations=$2
Total flowers sold=40
Total sales=$10
Let Roses=r
Carnations=c
c+r=40. (1)
3r+2c=100 (2)
From (1)
c=40-r
Substitute c=40-r into (2)
3r+2c=100
3r+2(40-r)=100
3r+80-2r=10
r=100-80
r=20
Substitute r=20 into (1)
c+r=40
c+20=40
c=40-20
=20
c=20
r=20
Check:
3r+2c=100
3(20)+2(20)=100
60+40=100
100=100
