So, make two equations.

3m+2o=200
4m+4o=300

If you multiply the first equation by 2, you get 6m+4o=400.

You can take away the second equation from this so that you have
2m=100.

Therefore, m=50.

Substitute this into one of the first equations, I'm going to use the first one.

3(50)+2o=200
150+2o=200
2o=50
o=25

And finally, check by substituting into the second equation.

4(50)+4(25)=300
200+100=300

Hope this helps :)

Start by defining your variables
let x be the mass of a single mango in gm
let y be the mass of a single orange in gm

now, write the question as a system of equations

3 mango and 2 orange have a mass of 200 gm
3x +2y = 200
4 mango and 4 orange have a mass of 300 gm
4x +4y = 300

now you have a system of equations
3x+2y =200
4x+4y =300

solve for x and y

A stadium's normal ticket price is $78. As a special promotion they offer 15% off. What is the price of the discounted ticket?

You have to find out what 15% of $78 dollars is.  If you have to do this in your head and not on a calculator you can find 10%, then cut that number in 1/2 and add it to the answer.  So 10% of $78 is 7.8 so $7.80.  You can divide 7.80 by 2 and get 3.9 and add that to 7.8 which is 11.70.  So 15% of $78 is $11.70.

What is the solution to the inequality shown? -2(x + 3) < 6 - x x > -12 x < -12 x > 12 x < 12
Sonja [21]

Answer:

x < -12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the inequality

-2(x + 3) < 6 - x

Expand

-2x - 6 < 6 - x

Collect the like terms;

-2x + x < 6 + 6

-x < 12

Multiply through by -1

-1(-x) < -1(12)

x < -12
