So
if x is the number she spent on each sister and y is the number she spent on each nephew then
180=3x+2y
she wants to spend 15 dollars more on sisters than nephews
so
x=15+y
solve
we have
180=3x+2y and
x=15+y
subsitute 15+y for x
180=3(15+y)+2y
180=45+3y+2y
180=45+5y
minus 45 both sides
135=5y
divide both sides by 5
27=y
solve for x
x=15+y
x=15+27
x=42
she spent $42 on each sister
Answer:
- Annie- 17 hours, Brian- 3 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of hours Annie travelled be a, and same of Brian be b
<u>Then we have</u>
<u>Substituting a in the first equation</u>
- 5b + 2 + b = 20
- 6b = 20 - 2
- 6b = 18
- b = 3
<u>Then finding a</u>
<u>So the answer is:</u>
- Annie- 17 hours, Brian- 3 hours
<h3>
Answer:</h3>
270 minutes
<h3>
Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
(60 minutes/hour) × (4.5 hours) = 270 minutes
What you can do is multiply 400*20= 8,000. From here, we know that 399*20 is just one less group of 20 than 400. Therefore, we can subtract (1*20) from 8,000 to get the final answer.
8000-20=7980
Hope this helps!
