Answer:
$35 per plant
Step-by-step explanation:
You take the 140 and divide that by 4 to get your answer.
Its algebra. The original equation is

To solve for a variable, we reverse the order of operations, beginning with addition/subtraction, and then multiplication/division. To remove a number from one side, we must do the opposite to the other side. In this case, to get rid of the -121 we must add 121 to the -164. This gives us -43. Then, to get the x by itself, we must multiply the other side by 3. -43*3=129
When we are doing the opposite of an operation to the other side, we are really reversing the operation and, to keep both sides equal, we must do whatever we have done to one side to the other side. So when we have -121, we add 121 as it equals 0, therefore it is gone. Since a equation must be balanced, we have to do what we did to the other side (adding 121).
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Let the cost of a sheet be s and cost of a blanket be b</u>
<u>From the first equation we get:</u>
<u>Substitute in the second equation</u>
- s + 4*(41 - 2s) = 80
- s + 164 - 8s = 80
- 7s = 84
- s = 12
<u>Then</u>
5 buckets at $2.89 = 5($2.89) = $14.45
10 brushes at $7.91 = 10($7.91) = $79.10
48 towels at $0.36 = 48($0.36) = $17..28
These three added together makes $110.83. This leaves us $144.08-$110.83=$33.25 for the cost of the case of air fresheners.
