You decided to give your friend marbles for his birthday. Since you know he like red marbles better than brown ones, the number

of red marbles in the bag is 4 fewer than 5 times the number of brown marbles. The bag contains 74 marbles. Which system of equations can be used to determine r, the number of red marbles and b, the number of brown marbles?
r + 5b = 4 r + b = 74
r + 5b = 74 r - b = 4
4 - 5b = r 5b + r = 74
5b - 4 = r r + b = 74

The sum of 3 consecutive integers is 309. Determine the middle integer.
Amanda [17]

Divide 309 by 3:

309 / 3 = 103

for the lower number subtract 1: 103 -1 = 102

for the higher number add 1: 103+1 = 104


The 3 numbers are 102, 103,  104


The middle number is 103.

The answer is C.

One month Chris rented 2 movies and 12 video game for a total of $44. The next month he rented 5 movies and 3 video games for a
aleksley [76]
M= movie cost
v= video cost

Create two equations with the given information. Solve for one variable in equation one. Use that answer to substitute into equation two.

2m+12v=$44
5m+3v=$29

Solve for one variable in equation 1:
2m+12v=44
Subtract 12v from both sides
2m=44-12v
Divide both sides by 2
m=(44-12v)/2

Substitute m answer in equation two:
5m+3v=$29
5((44-12v)/2)+3v=29
(220-60v)/2+3v=29
Multiply everything by 2 to eliminate the fraction
(2)(220-60v)/2+(2)(3v)=(2)(29)
220-60v+6v=58
220-54v=58
Subtract both sides by 220
-54v= -162
Divide both sides by -54
v= $3.00 cost per video

Substitute v value to find m value:
2m+12v=$44
2m+12(3.00)=44
2m+36=44
Subtract both sides by 36
2m=8
Divide both sides by 2
m=$4.00 cost per movie

Check:
5m+3v=$29
5(4.00)+3(3.00)=29
20.00+9.00=29
29=29

Hope this helps! Please mark me as brainliest if it does. :)
