Answer: A = 317
B = 61
Step-by-step explanation:
The following equation can be gotten from the question given. This will be:
A + B = 379 ........ i
A - B = 255 ........ ii
From equation i, make A the subject of the formula
A = 379 - B ...... iii
Put the value of A in iii into equation ii
A - B = 255
(379 - B) - B = 255
379 - B - B = 255
379 - 2B = 255
2B = 379-255
2B = 124
B = 124/2
B = 62 tons
Since A + B = 379
A + 62 = 379
A = 379 - 62
A = 317 tons
-2 could not be the answer to |2x - 0.6| because it would have to be positive due to the “| |” symbols.
X=number of books that cost 0.60
y=number of books that cost 0.75
x+y=16
0.6x+0.75y=10.95
solve
multiply second equation by 10 for nicity
6x+7.5y=109.5
multiply first equesiotn by -6 and add to second
-6x-6y=-96
<u>6x+7.5y=109.5 +</u>
0x+1.5y=13.5
1.5y=13.5
divide both sides by 1.5
y=9
sub back
x+y=16
x+9=16
minus 6
x=7
seven 0.60 books and nine 0.75 books
The answer is A.
The cost of 25 vases would be $75 (25*3). then x would be the number of flowers she can buy at $2 each before she goes over $275. So, $2x+$75 < $275
Answer:
64
Step-by-step explanation:
1/5 of 80 = 1/5 × 80 = 16
80 - 16 = 64
