Answer:

\Large \boxed{\sf \ \ 40 \ \ }

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

Let's not a and b the two numbers.

<em>One number is seven less than a second number.</em>

(1) b = a - 7

<em>Five times the first is 2 more than 6 times the second. </em>

(2) 5a = 2 + 6b

(2)+5*(1) gives

5a + 5b = 2 + 6b + 5a - 35

b = 35 - 2 = 33

a = 40

The value of the first number is \large \boxed{\sf \ \ 40 \ \ }

Hope this helps.

Do not hesitate if you need further explanation.

Thank you

the shop has 1260 ounces of cranberry juice and 650 ounces of passion fruit juice.ifvthe juices are used to make crazy cranberry
mr_godi [17]
Given:
Each smoothie requires 20 ounces of cranberry juice and 10 ounces of passion fruit.
There are 1260 ounces of cranberry juice.
There are 650 ounces of passion fruit juice.

For the maximum servings of the smoothie, let
x = the number of 20-ounce cranberry juice used,
y = the number of 10-ounce passion fruit juice used.

The cranberry juice runs out when
20x = 1260
x = 63  servings 

The passion fruit juice runs out when
10y = 650
y = 65 servings

Because x reaches, the cranberry juice runs out first after 63 servings of the smoothie.
There will be two 10-ounces = 20 ounces of the passion fruit left.

Answer: 
(a) The cranberry juice runs our first.
(b) There will be 20 ounces of the passion fruit left over.

How do you simplify algebraic expressions?  
masya89 [10]
There are many reasons one may want to simplify, rearranging to find specific values - or maybe just making it simpler
Well, let's do some examples:
y(x(3+2)) +2 = -2y +2   <span>< I just made this one up, it looks really complicated right now, none the less it can be simplified easily
</span>y(3x+2x) + 2 = - 2y +2
3xy + 2xy + 2 = -2y +2
5xy + 2 = -2y +2    <-- the +2's dissapear because they cancel out
5xy = -2y

<span>And there we have it, that long expression has been simplified to something really simple.
</span>
Another example:
3(4(x+3(2 +z)) - 5)= 3y <span><- you can start where ever, I like starting in the middle
</span>3  *  (4 *  (x +  3*(2 + z)) -  5 ) = 3y  <span><-  here it is spaced out, we get a much better view
</span><span>3  *  (4 *  (x +  6 + 3z) -  5 ) = 3y</span>
3  * (4x + 24 + 12z - 5) = 3y <- divide both sides by 3 ..
4x + 24 + 12z - 5 = y <- much better
<span>
</span>Note: Simplify means solving to a degree, but you can't solve it because it has unknowns
