"Pedro has twice as many carrots as Martha:"
p = 2m
<span>
"If Pedro gives 5 carrots to Oliver," 
p - 5  (</span>Oliver is irrelevant.)<span>

"then Martha has 3 times as many carrots as Pedro"
</span>
m = 3(p - 5)

We know p in terms of m, so substitute it in:
m = 3(2m - 5)

Distribute the 3:
m = 6m - 15

Subtract 6m from both sides:
m-6m=-15
Combine variable terms:

-5m=-15

Divide out -5

m = -15/-5

m = 3

The answer is c) 3

You and two friends rent a hotel room that costs $30 so you both put in $10 each later that night the owner of the hotel realize
Gennadij [26K]
The dollar didn't go anywhere! The question isn't correct because the money the bellhop stole is supposed to be subtracted, not added. So if we subtract $2 we have $25, and that's how much money the owner got, the men got $3 back and the bellboy got $2.

So the owner gets $25, the men get $3 and the bellboy gets $2, and that equals 30.

Finley and Cooper are wanting to go to SkyZone. Finley pays $53.75 for 5 hours. How much will Cooper pay for 3 hours?
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

<em>10.75 x 3 = $32.25</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

first, we need to figure out how much the cost is for one hour:

53.75/5 = 10.75

therefore, the cost at skyzone for 1 hour is $10.75 , BUT, we still need to figure out the time for 3 hours.

so, 10.75 x 3 = $32.25
