Answer:
14(y + 2).
Step-by-step explanation:
32 +2/3(21y - 6)
Distributing the 2/3 over the parentheses:
= 32 + 2/3*21y + 2/3 * -6
= 32 + 14y - 4
= 14y + 28
= 14(y + 2).
Answer:
- The system of equations is x + y = 85 and 7/20x+2/5y=31
- To eliminate the x-variable from the equations, you can multiply the equation with the fractions by 20 and multiply the other equation by -7.
- B-She used 60 minutes for calling and 25 minutes for data.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is always a good idea to start by defining variables in such a problem. Here, we can let x represent the number of calling minutes, and y represent the number of data minutes. The the total number of minutes used is ...
x + y = 85
The total of charges is the sum of the products of charge per minute and minutes used:
7/20x + 2/5y = 31.00
We can eliminate the x-variable in these equations by multiplying the first by -7 and the second by 20, then adding the result.
-7(x +y) +20(7/20x +2/5y) = -7(85) +20(31)
-7x -7y +7x +8y = -595 +620 . . . . eliminate parentheses
y = 25 . . . . . . . . simplify
Then the value of x is
x = 85 -y = 85 -25
x = 60
Answer: He can completely decorate 11 cars
Explanation: since he puts 2 snowflakes on each of the 4 windows on one car, in total Jack uses 8 snowflakes per car. If he makes 90 snowflakes, 90 divided by 8 gives you the amount of cars he can decorate. 90/8 = 11.25, but since you can’t have .25 cars the answer is 11.
