Answer:
X-19
Step-by-step explanation:
First you need to distribute the three into the numbers in the parenthesis,
(3 * x) + (3 * -5) - (2x + 4)
That then turns into,
3x - 15 - (2x + 4)
but we aren't done distributing yet, because the second set of parenthesis has a negative sign in front of it we also have to distribute that. (this is because the negative sign is really just -1)
3x - 15 + (-1 * 2x) + (-1 * 4)
that turns into,
3x - 15 - 2x -4
from here all we have to do is add like terms,
(3x - 2x) + (-15 + -4)
and that leaves us with: 1x -19 or x-19
Hope that helped :))
A)
s = sweater
j = jeans
Equations:
4s + 2j = 140
2s + 3j = 150
B)
4s + 2j = 140
2s + 3j = 150
Multiply (-2) to the second equation
-2 (2s + 3j = 150)
-4s - 6j = -300
Now you have the equations:
4s + 2j = 140
-4s - 6j = -300
-----------------------------add
-4j = -160
j = 40
4s + 2(40) = 140
4s + 80 = 140
4s = 60
s = 15
The cost for a sweater is $15 and the cost for a jean is $40
We used the elimination method to solve the system of equations.
C)
Each pair of jean, she will buy 3 sweaters so total = 40 + 3(15) = $85
Total cost for 1 pair of jeans and 3 sweaters = $85
If she has $225 the
$225 / $85 = 2.64
2 jeans = 2 x 40 = $80
6 sweaters = 6 x $15 = $90
So She can only buy 2 jeans and 6 sweaters
Answer:
It's 24 packs of cat food
Step-by-step explanation:
You have to think of it as 30% of 80.
30 ?
----- = ----
100 80
Now you have to find out what is in the blank by doing 80 times 30 to find what that equals. That equals 2,400. Now you have to find what times a 100 gets you 2,400. You divide a 100 by 2,400 to get 24. There's your answer
