Saying "a number" is the same as saying "x"
"Three more than a number" is the same as "three more than x"
If you have three more of something (say, marbles) than someone else, then you have their number of marbles plus three more.
Then, "Three more than x" is the same as "three plus x", or "3 + x"
Hope this helps! :)
Answer:
213 books
Step-by-step explanation:
Paper books = $1.45 each
$ 1.45 = 1 paper book
$ 1 = 1/1.45 paper book
$98.6 = 98.6/1.45 paper books
$ 98.6 = 68 paper books
Hardback books = $ 2.25 each
$2.25 = 1 Hardbook
$1 = 1/2.25 hardbook
$ 328.10 = 328.10/2.25 hardbooks
$ 328.10 = 145.822 hard books
Number of books cannot be a decimal number, so the value has to be estimated to a nearer whole number.
$ 328.10 = 145 hard books
Total number of books bought = (145 + 68)books= 213 books (Answer)
Hello again!
So just like in the last problem you would do the same here.
Solve for 3y + 6 = 3
Subtract 6 from both sides.
3y = -3
Divide by 3.
y = -1
Now plug it into 8y + 2.
8(-1) + 2 = ?
-8 + 2 = ?
= -6
I hope this helps love! :)
Answer:
V1 = 60 km/h
V2 = 40 Km/h
Step-by-step explanation:
The speed of an object is defined as
Speed = distance / time
Let
V1 be the speed of the faster car
V2 be the speed of the other car
t1 the time it took for the first car to arrive
t2 the time it took for the second car to arrive
d1 the distance traveled by first car
d2 the distance traveled by second car
We know thanks to the problem that
V1 = V2 + 20 Km/h
t1 = t2 - 1 hour
d1 = d2 = 120 Km
d1 = V1 * t1
d2 = V2* t2
V1 * t1 = V2* t2
V1* t1 = (V1 -20)*(t1 +1)
The system of equations
(V1 -20)*(t1 +1) = 120
V1 * t1 = 120
120 + (120/t1) -20*t1 = 140
(120/t1) -20*t1 = 20
Which gives,
t1 = 2
This means
V1 = 60 km/h
V2 = V1 - 20 Km/h = 40 Km/h
