Answer:
5 Green earrings
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Total amount held = $51
Cost per pair of green earrings = $9
One time shipping fee = $6
How many pairs of green earrings did grace purchase?
Let the number of green earrings purchased = g
Then,
$9*g + $6 = $51
$9g + $6 = $51
$9g = $51 - $6
$9g = $45
g = $45 / $9
g = 5
Hence, the number of green earrings purchased = 5
It's a simple linear equation in 'y'. There is only one number that 'y' can be
that will make the equation a true statement. That number is called the
'solution' to the equation. Here's one way to find it:
You said that <u> 2 = y/5 - 8</u>
Add 8 to each side: 10 = y/5
Multiply each side by 5: <em> 50 = y</em>
Answer: 6
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Let x represent the number of plates bought for $6
Let y represent the Total number of plates bought = x + 1
<em>Remember that Mrs. Lim bought another plate for $18</em>
Total cost ÷ Total plates = Average Cost
6x + 18 = 8(x + 1)
6x + 18 = 8x + 8
18 = 2x + 8
10 = 2x
5 = x
y = x + 1
= 5 + 1
= 6
