p = (1/r) - q
In order to find this, follow the order of operations to get the answer.
1/p+q = r ----> Multiply both sides by p+q
1 = r(p + q) -----> Divide by r
1/r = p + q -----> subtract q from both sides
(1/r) - q = p
We are given here the individual costs of DVD and CD as well as the total sales and the number of items sold on one day. To solve the number of DVDs and CDs sold each, we devise two independent linear equations:
(1) x + y = 39
(2) 4x + 7y = 204
x- number of DVDs; y - number of CDs
solving, x= 23 DVDs
y = 16 CDs
Yes it does mean that. As long as a number is next to a number with parenthesis with no sign in between, consider it as multiplication.
2x-2>-12
2x>-10
x>-5
hope this helps!
