Answer:
- <u>The number of groups in 3 is 4 groups.</u>
- <u>The number of groups in 5 is 7 groups.</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of groups in 3 ⇒ x
Let the number of groups in 5 ⇒ y
There are 11 groups. ⇒ x + y = 11 →(1)
There are 47 people. ⇒ 3x + 5y = 47 →(2)
Solve (1) and (2) to get x and y.
From (1) ⇒ y = 11 - x →(3)
By substitution from (3) at (2) with y
∴ 3x + 5(11-x) = 47
3x + 55 - 5x = 47
-2x = 47 - 55 = -8
∴ x = -8/-2 = 4
∴ y = 11 - x = 11 - 4 = 7
So, the number of groups in 3 is 4 groups.
the number of groups in 5 is 7 groups.
Answer:
y=3x+2
Step-by-step explanation:
3x - y = -2
-3x -3x
_________
-y = -3x-2
/-1 /-1
_________
y = 3x+2
The better bargain is the 4 quarts
70-q-q-2q= 80
combine like terms first
so you get 70-4q= 80
subtract 70 on both sides and you get -4q= 10
divide -4 on both sides and you get q= 10/-4 or -2.5
