The expression in fraction form will be:
The denominator can be multiplied to the numerator by taking its reciprocal as shown below:
There are no common factors, so the expression can not be simplified any further.
Let:
T = Total money they have
Dc = Dog collar
x = Number of bags of food
Let's solve the inequality:
This means that they can buy 12 bags of food at most.
Since they plan to buy 2 bags of food:
This means they can do it and have $ 11.5 to spare
Answer:
See below.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the smaller integer be n.
Then the larger integer is n + 2.
"When the smaller integer is added to three times the larger integer, the result is two less than five times the smaller integer."
The correct equation is:
n + 3(n + 2) = 5n - 2
His mistake is not using parentheses on the left side. Since he left out the parentheses, the left side is not "the smaller integer added to three times the larger integer", but rather it is "the smaller integer added to 2 plus 3 times the smaller integer."
n + 3(n + 2) = 5n - 2
n + 3n + 6 = 5n - 2
4n + 6 = 5n - 2
8 = n
n = 8
n + 2 = 10
The integers are 8 and 10.
