Answer:
L=62.5 W=12.5
Step-by-step explanation:
L=5W
150=2W+2(5W)
75=W+5W
75=6W
W=12.5
12.5×5=62.5
62.5+62.5+12.5+12.5=150
We know that
m-------------------- > <span>the amount of twinkle lights Maggie used
l--------------------- > </span><span>the amount of twinkle lights Lilly used
l=70
m=51+l
therefore
m=51+70=121
m=121
the answer is 121 (</span>amount of twinkle lights Maggie used)
Answer:
There needs to be 300 liters of Drink A and 270 liters of Drink B
Step-by-step explanation:
Let a = the amount of Drink A and b = the amount of Drink B
Multiplying a number by 0.2 is the same as calculating 20% of it and same goes with 15% and 0.15. This makes our equation for the amount of fruit juice:
0.2a + 0.15b = 100.5
We know what the difference between a and b will be 30 liters so:
a - b = 30
Now we have our system of equations
To cancel out a, we can multiply the first equation by -5 so we will now have:
-a - 0.75b = -502.5
a - b = 30
Adding these two equations together, we get:
-1.75b = -472.5
Both sides are negative, so we can take the negative signs away.
1.75b = 472.5
Now divide both sides by 1.75
b = 270
Plugging 270 into b, we have:
a - b = 30
a - 270 = 30
Add 270 to both sides
a = 300
There needs to be 300 liters of Drink A and 270 liters of Drink B
