One half of a nmber is 8 less than the number itself translated

please solve all of them Elaine bought a total of 15 shirts and pairs of pants She bought 7 more shirts then pants how many of e

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer

Question 1

4 pants

11 shirts

Question 2

Shady has 30 video games.

Preston has 19 video games.

Question 3

1 muffin costs $1.5

1 quart of milk costs $3

Explanation

Question 1

Let the number of shirts be s

Let the number of pants be p

She bought a total of 15 shirts and shirts

s + p = 15

She bought 7 more shirts than pants.

s = 7 + p

So, we can solve the simultaneous equation.

s + p = 15

s = 7 + p

Substitute for s in equation 1

s + p = 15

7 + p + p = 15

7 + 2p = 15

2p = 15 - 7

2p = 8

Divide both sides by 2

(2p/2) = (8/2)

p = 4 pants

s = 7 + p = 7 + 4 = 11 shirts

Question 2

Let the number of games Shady has be s

Let the number of games Preston has be p

Together, they have a total of 49 video games

s + p = 49

Shady has 11 more games than Preston.

s = 11 + p

So, we can solve the simultaneous equation.

s + p = 49

s = 11 + p

Substitute for s in equation 1

s + p = 49

11 + p + p = 49

11 + 2p = 49

2p = 49 - 11

2p = 38

Divide both sides by 2

(2p/2) = (38/2)

p = 19 video games

s = 11 + p = 11 + 19 = 30 video games

Question 3

Let the cost of a muffin be m

Let the cost of a quart of milk be q

The cost of 8 muffins and 2 quarts of milk is $18.

8m + 2q = 18

The cost of 3 muffins and 1 quart of milk is $7.50

3m + q = 7.5

So, we can solve the simultaneous equation

8m + 2q = 18

3m + q = 7.5

Solving this,

m = 1.5 dollars

q = 3 dollars

Hope this Helps!!!

50 Points!

Well, 50 points total given, 25 points per user and 13 bonus for brainliest

1.
add them equations, the y's will cancel
x+2y=4
3x-2y=4 +
4x+0y=8

4x=8
divide by 4 both sides
x=2
sub back
x+2y=4
2+2y=4
minus 2
2y=2
divide 2
y=1
x=2
y=1
(x,y)
(2,1) is solution

2.
the solution is where they intersect
multiply 2nd equation by 2 and add to first
4x-14y=6
-4x+14y=-6 +
0x+0y=0
0=0
infinite solutions

that is because they are actually the same line
the solutions are (x,y) such that they satisfy -2x+7y=-3 or 4x-14y=6 (same equaiton)
infinite solutions

3.
multiply first equation by 2 and add to first
4x+2y=-6
1x-2y=-4 +
5x+0y=-10

5x=-10
divide by 5 both sides
x=-2
sub bac
x-2y=-4
-2-2y=-4
add 2
-2y=-2
divide by -2
y=1

x=-2
y=1
(x,y)
(-2,1)

4.
coincident means they are the same line
so

we see that we have to multiply 4 by 2 to get 8
multiply top equation by 2
8x+10y=16
8x+By=C
B=10 and C=16

5.
a. false, either 0, 1, or infinity solutions
change the word 'two' to 'one' or 'zero' or 'infinite', or change 'can' into 'can't'

b.false
'sometimes' to 'always'

c. true

d. false, change 'sometimes' to 'always'

EC
total cost=150
TC=childC+adultC
TC=3c+5a
150=3c+5a

40 tickets, c+a
40=c+a

the equations are
150=3c+5a and
40=c+a

eliminate
multiply 2nd equaton by -3 and ad to first one

150=3c+5a
-120=-3c-3a +
30=0c+2a

30=2a
divide by 2
15=a

sub back
40=c+a
40=c+15
minus 15
25=c

25 children tickets and 15 adult tickets were sold

ANSWERS:

1.
(2,1) is solution

2.
infinite solutions

3.
(-2,1)

4.
B=10 and C=16

5.
a. false,
change the word 'two' to 'one' or 'zero' or 'infinite', or change 'can' into 'can't'

b.false
'sometimes' to 'always'

c. true

d. false, change 'sometimes' to 'always'

the equations are
150=3c+5a and

The sum of three consecutive intergers is 267. What is the largest integer

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

90

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the starting number be x, the two consecutive numbers after x is gonna be x+1 and x+2.

If the sum of these three numbers is 267 then:

x+(x+1)+(x+2)=267

Solve

3x+3=267

3x=267-3

3x=264

x=264/3

x=88

x+1=89

x+2=90

Your three consecutive numbers are 88, 89, and 90.

The largest one of them is 90.

Teri went shopping with $300. Her Christmas shopping list is: 5 barbies for $10.50 each,, earbuds for $45, 3 sweaters for $22 ea

Romashka [77]

5 times 10.50 = $52.5

An additional $45

3 times 22 = $66

An other additional $65

The total price her shopping list costs is 229.5

Now, $300 - $229.5 = $70.5

Teri will have $70.50 left after buying these items.
