Answer:
The answer would actually be 9,900
Solution:
<u>Note that:</u>
- Given sentence: The difference between an integer p and (-5) is 1.
<u>Let's reread the sentence carefully.</u>
The difference between an integer p and (-5) is 1.
<u>Change the sign.</u>
<u>Subtract 5 both sides:</u>
- p + 5 = 1
- => p + 5 - 5 = 1 - 5
- => p = -4
The answer is (7/9, -5/9)
(7 over 9 and negative 5 over 9)
Okay so
#1
4 for 5 would mean each single M&M is 1.25 (5/4)
9 for 25 would mean each single M&M is about 2.78 (25/9)
4 for 5 is the better deal
#2
10 for 35 is 3.50 each (35/10)
12 for 40 is about 3.34 each (40/12)
#3
85 divided by four is 21.25 meaning you'd spend about 22 cents each
the hardware store has a better deal seeing as 19 cents each is cheaper
#4
so 13 divided by 1.4 is about 9.3 so Raisin Bran has less sugar per ounce of cereal
Use what we know to make equations in order to solve for each governor's salary.
A=governor of state A
B=governor of state B
A+b=283,910. (Their salaries combined)
A=B+50,440 (A earns 50,440 more than B)
Sub A into the original formula to solve for B
B+50,440+b=283,910
2B=283,910-50,440
2B=233,470
B=116,730
Sub B into the formula that's equal to A
A=B+50,440
A=116,735+50,440
A=167,175
I hope this helps!
