Answer:
its equal to -47
Step-by-step explanation:
i know it
Alright, we can turn the word problem at the beginning into an equation.
Let's represent oregano with "o" and peppercorns as "p".
o=p+17
Also, we know that the two added together are 253 pounds.
o+p=253
Since we know that o=p+17, let's substitute it into the second equation.
(p+17)+p=253
2p+17=253
-17 -17
2p=236
p=118
So, we have 118 pounds of peppercorns. (Although it's irrelevant to the second half of the equation, we also know we have 135 pounds of oregano)
Now, let's convert pounds to ounces.
1 pound = 16 ounces.
So, multiply 118 by 16....
118*16=1888
So, you can make 1888 one-ounce bags of peppercorns.
Answer:
Choose answers: A, C, D
Step-by-step explanation:
It is simply arithmetic. Multiply out the exponents.
For number 9 it's x+8= 14 and 7x=21
For number 10 the answer is that Beth is correct because the only number that could be replaced for x would be 2. There is no number besides 2 that you could put in the equation x+3=5 to get the answer 5.
X+y=4
2x+y=6
make first equation negative
-x-y=-4
add to first equation
2x-x+y-y=6-4
x=2
subsitute
x+y=4
2+y=4
y=2
or
x+y=4
subtract x from both sdies
y=4-x
subsitute 4-x for y in second equation
2x+4-x=6
x+4=6
x=2
