Answer:

  60

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s represent the number of stickers Sophia has. Then the number Ethan has is (2/3)s. The transfer of 16 stickers can be described by the equation ...

  (s -16)/(2/3s +16) = 1/2 . . . . . sophia/ethan = 1/2 after the transfer

  2s -32 = 2/3s +16 . . . . . . . . .cross multiply

  4/3s = 48 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 32-2/3s

  s = (48)(3/4) = 36 . . . . . . . . .multiply by 3/4

Together, the total number of stickers held is s +(2/3)s = (5/3)s.

  5/3s = (5/3)(36) = 60 . . . . . total of Sophia's and Ethan's stickers

Together, Sophia and Ethan have 60 stickers.

Solve the system by substitution. Check your solution. A minus 1.2 b = negative 3. 0.2 b + 0.6 a = 12 a. (15, 15) c. (13, 12) b.
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

The answer to the question is -1.32

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step will be to write out the equation that we are working with:

This equation is

0.2b + 0.6a = 12

The next step is to write out the values of the figures that we are substituting:

a = -1.2 b=-3

Substitution in mathematics can best be understood as "something being used in place of another thing". This means that wherever the first variable appears in an equation, the substituting values will replace it and multiply the number it is attached to.

In this case, we will replace the 'b' and the 'a' with the - 1.2 and - 3 respectively.

0.2(-3) + 0.6(-1.2) = -1.32

wariber [46]
(1) x = (6.6 +5)/2 = 5.8
(2) m = (4/3)*(13 -4) = 12
(3) p = (2/5)*(13 +3) = 6.4
(4) m = (11.5 -4.5)/3.5 = 2
(5) x = (21.5 -3.5)/9 = 2

patriot [66]
All you have to do is multiply 2.3 by 13 together to get 29.9. Then you would subtract that by the total volume which would get 107.64. That's the width.
