paul bought a soft and a sandwich for 9.90. what equation may be used to find the price of each item if the sandwich cost 3.5 ti

mes as much as the soft drink?
Mathematics

So, let's say the soft drink equals y and the sandwich equals x.

x + y = 9.9

The sandwich costs 3.5 times as much as the soft drink

x = 3.5y

Therefore, we can replace x with 3.5y since they're the same thing

3.5y + y = 9.9  <-- That's the equation :)

How would I solve this?? 5p-8(p+1)&gt;16
alexandr402 [8]

<em>*To solve inequalities is similar to solving equations: isolate the desired variable to one side.</em>

So firstly, distribute -8 to (p + 1):

5p-8p-8>16

Next, combine like terms:

-3p-8>16

Next, add 8 to both sides:

-3p>24

Lastly, divide both sides by -3. Now since you are dividing by a <u>negative</u>, you will be flipping the inequality symbol as well.<u> Your final answer will be p</u>

On a certain​ river, a paddleboat travels 12 miles upstream ​(against the​ current) in the same amount of time it travels 20 mil
marin [14]

Given :

a paddle boat travels  upstream = 12 miles

a paddle boat travels  downstream = 20 miles

speed of the current = 2 miles per ​hour

Let the speed of the boat =x

Let the time taken = t

We know the distance for upstream D= (boat speed - current speed) * time

the distance for downstream D= (boat speed + current speed) * time

Plug in all the values and variables in the distance

For upstream 12 = (x-2)t, then t = \frac{12}{x-2}

For downstream 20 = (x+2)t then t = \frac{20}{x+2}

we got two equations for t, equate it and solve for x

\frac{12}{x-2} = \frac{20}{x+2}

Cross multiply it

12(x+2) = 20(x-2)

12x + 24 = 20x - 40 (subtract 12x  and add 40 on both sides)

64 = 8x

x= 8

the speed of the boat in still water = 8 miles per hour

How to do simplest form
Annette [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

A fraction is in simplest form when the top and bottom cannot be any smaller, while still being whole numbers. To simplify a fraction: divide the top and bottom by the greatest number that will divide both numbers exactly (they must stay whole numbers).
