Answer:
The jeweler made 9 necklaces.
The jeweler made 8 bracelets.
Step-by-step explanation:
x = number of bracelets
y = number of necklaces
17 = x + y
238 = 5x + 22y
Make one of the coefficients, x, the same.
17 = x + y
Multiply this equation by 5.
85 = 5x + 5y
Subtract the equations to get rid of x.
(238 = 5x + 22y) - (85 = 5x + 5y)
(5x - 5x) + (22y - 5y) = 238 - 85
22y - 5y = 238 - 85
17y = 153
y = 153/17 = 9
The jeweler made 9 necklaces. Substitute this back into one of the equations to find x.
17 = x + y
17 = x + 9
17 - 9 = x
x = 8
238 = 5x + 22y
238 = 5x + 22(9)
238 = 5x + 198
238 - 198 = 5x
40 = 5x
x = 40/5
x = 8
The jeweler made 8 bracelets.
Always do the parentheses first. In this case, there are two parentheses, so do the parentheses inside the other parentheses first. After that, it’s just simple addition, subtraction, and multiplication.
(69-9)= 60
(60+23)= 83
83x4= 332
Answer:
Martha earns $65.6 over the weekend.
Step-by-step explanation:
Brownies sold by Martha on Saturday = 60
Cookies sold by Martha on Saturday = 42
Brownies sold by Martha on Sunday = 28
Cookies sold by Martha on Sunday = 54
Total brownies sold by Martha over the weekend = 
Total cookies sold by Martha over the weekend = 
Cost of a brownie = $0.20
Cost of a cookie = $0.50
Total cost of brownies sold over the weekend = 
Total cost of cookies sold over the weekend = 
∴ Total money Martha earned over the weekend =
