Answer: A ) $1.75 x ≤ $25,
where x is the amount of boxes he bought.
Answer:
B) 15/(9+(-9))
Step-by-step explanation:
Be careful of the parentheses because if you just write out 15/9+(-9),
it's technically, saying that 15/9+(-9)=5/3+(-9)=5/3-9, and that's different from what you want to express, mathematically.
Answer:
90/23
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you want to start in the parentheses. 5-6=-1, then multiply it by -2. Since a negative multiplied by a negative is a positive, -2*-1=2. -3^2=-9. 2+8=10. Then -9 times 10= -90. Then, we move on to the bottom. 5--2=7. 4^2=16, and -2(2)=-4. So -5(7) + 16-4=-23. Now, the equation should look like this, -90/-23. Put the negatives together and you get 90/23.
Answer:
3x +4y = 118
5x+6y =180
y= $25
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = the cost of a flashlight
Let y = the cost of a sleeping bag
3x +4y = 118
5x+6y =180
Multiply the first equation by -5
-5(3x +4y) = -5*118
-15x -20y = -590
Multiply the second equation by 3
3(5x+6y) =3*180
15x + 18y = 540
Add the modified equations together.
We are using elimination to eliminate the variable x
-15x -20y = -590
15x + 18y = 540
----------------------------
-2y = -50
Divide by -2
-2y/-2 = -50/-2
y =25
Each sleeping bag costs $25
