Let's solve for x.
5x+15y=12
Step 1: Add -15y to both sides.
5x+15y+−15y=12+−15y
5x=−15y+12
Step 2: Divide both sides by 5.
5x

=
−15y+12

Answer:
x=−3y+12/5
Let's solve for y.
5x+15y=12
Step 1: Add -5x to both sides.
5x+15y+−5x=12+−5x
15y=−5x+12
Step 2: Divide both sides by 15.
15y

1. the answer is 24. think of x as the original amount, and y as the new amount. y times 1.5 is x, and y+12 is x. reverse that to figure out y, which is what we need, and you have x/1.5 = y as well as x-12 = y. Use the equal values method and make an equation x/1.5=x-12. solve this equation to get x, which is 36. to figure out the new amount, y, you need to subtract 12, which would help you get 24 as your final answer.
2. once again, create an equation. let's call team 1 x and team 2 y. team one has 1/4th as many as team 2, so that would be x=1/4y. An easier way to write that is 4x=y. after 6 people quit team two, that would be y-6. after the transfer, that would be y-6-12, and x+12 for the teams. they are equal after these, so y-6-12=x+12. solve this equation to get y-18= x+12. if you recall earlier, y was 4 times x, so substitute that into y to get 4x-18=x+12. Solve the equation to get 10 people on team one originally. your final answer is 10 people.

First we write the variables already defined:
m = the number of magazine subscriptions sold
n = the number of newspaper subscriptions sold
We now write the system of inequations based on the following facts:
"he earns $ 23 for each magazine subscription and $ 54 for each newspaper subscription that he sells. his goal is to make more than $ 642 per week"
23m + 54n> 642
"I have expectations to sell at least 10 subscriptions per week"
m + n> = 10
Answer:
A system of inequalities that models the given situation is:
23m + 54n> 642
m + n> = 10
The large box is less expensive per ounce.
large box small box
cost 4.16 2.38
content 32oz 14oz
cost/oz 0.13 0.17
*4.16/32 *2.38/14
The large box is less expensive than the small box. The large box is cheaper by 0.04 per ounce.
