Answer: 3 books
Explaining: $25 - $10 is only $15 left. $5x3 is $15. So he can buy 3 books.
Answer:
15/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x=-4
y=1
Step-by-step explanation:
For the given system of equations,
2.5x-3y=-13.....eqn(1)
3.25x-y=-14.....eqn(2)
We first make y the subject of eqn (2)
This implies that,
y=3.25x+14.....eqn(3)
We substitute eqn (3) into eqn (1)
2.5x-3(3.25x+14)=-13
2.5x-9.75x-42=-13
-42+13=9.75x-2.5x
-29=7.25x
Dividing through by 7.25, we obtain
x=-4
We now put the value of x into eqn (2)
3.25(-4)-y=-14
This implies that,
-13+14=y
y=1
The last one: x/2=45; x = 90
the problem says: half of a number is 45.
let's use x to represent this number
we know that dividing by 2 halves a number, so, x/2 = 45
to get x alone, we multiply 2 by 2 to cancel it out. so, multiply by 2 on both sides
x/2 • 2 = 45 • 2
x = 90
hope this helped!
