Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
You'd have no problem simplifying that expression if it said
-(5 cows) - (1 cow) + ( 14 cows) - (3 cows) .
You'd just add up the cows, and simplify the expression to say
5 cows .
When you see an expression that talks about 'x's instead of cows,
you get scared. It has something to do with algebra and math and
all that stuff, so you freeze.
Relax. Just make each 'x' a cow, and suddenly it almost solves itself.
Answer:
$14.28
Step-by-step explanation:
If the CD is $17 and is have a 20% off then you multiply .20 and 17 to get the amount that is off. Subtract that answer from 17 and you should get $13.60. That is the cost of the CD WITHOUT tax. To apply the tax, you multiply the cost and 0.05 (5%) to get 0.68. 0.68 is the tax cost. To get the entire cost of the CD, you add 0.68 (tax) and price (13.60) and get $14.28.
Answer:
y = ½x -3
Step-by-step explanation:
_____________________
GIVEN
1) Females outnumber males by 3 to 2.
2) There are 1770 people in the city.
SOLUTION
Let the number of males be x and the number of females y. Therefore, the total number of people can be written to be:
If there are 3 females for every 2 males, we have that:
We can substitute equation (2) into equation (1) and solve for y:
Dividing both sides by 5, we have
There are 1062 females in the county.
