Answer:

27 pages.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let l be the number of pages in the long paper and s be the number of pages in the short paper.

We have been given that the total number of pages for both papers is 40. We can represent this information in an equation as:

l+s=40...(1)

We are also told that the number of pages in the long paper is one more than two times the number of pages in the short paper. We can represent this information in an equation as:

l=2s+1...(2)

We will use substitution method to solve system of linear equations.

From equation (1) we will get,

s=40-l

Upon substituting this value in equation (2) we will get,

l=2(40-l)+1

l=80-2l+1

Upon adding 2l to both sides of our equation we will get,

l+2l=80-2l+2l+1

l+2l=80+1

3l=81

Let us divide both sides of our equation by 3 we will get,

\frac{3l}{3}=\frac{81}{3}

l=27

Therefore, there must be 27 pages in the long paper.

Write an expression that has 2 as a coefficient. Explain how you know the 2 is a coefficient.
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

2x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

2 is the coefficient because the coefficient always comes before the variable. In this case the variable is X, and 2 comes right before that signaling that it is (2)(x).

Amys class is selling books to raise money for a field trip. If each book sells for $7, how many books will they need to sell to
nikklg [1K]
You would start by setting up the equation:

7x=125 where x is equal to the number of books sold

x=17.9

Since you cannot sell .9 of a book, this must be rounded up to 18.
Therefore, Amy must sell 18 books.
