To answer this question you have to create a system of equations. The first equation will be that Devi's money (x) equals her brother's money (y), or x = y. The next equation would be that (3/5)x + (7/10)y = 78. You than can substitute x in for y because x = y. The equation would know be (3/5)x + (7/10)x = 78. You then combine the like terms to create an equation of (13/10)x = 78. Then, multiply both sides by 10 / 13 in order to isolate x. This will create the equation x = 60. This means that Devi and her brother each had 60 dollars. You then find out how much they spent and add it together. You can do so with the equation (2/5)x + (3/10)y = z, with z being total money spent. You substitute 60 in for x and for y then solve. When you solve you see that 24 + 18 = z, or that z equals 42. In other words, they spent 42 dollars altogether.

Two teams are selling candy bars to raise money. Team A has $165 saved and they are selling each candy bar for $2. Team B has $7
devlian [24]

Answer: Each have to sell 91 candy bars to have the same amount of money.

Step-by-step explanation: Suppose x represents the amount of candy bars.

Team A already have $165 and they are selling each candy bar for $2. The mathematical equation that represents the amount of money they have is

A: 165 + 2x

Team B initially has $74 and will sell each candy bar for $3. Then, the mathematical equation representing their amount of money is

B: 74 + 3x

So, to have the same amount of money:

165 + 2x = 74 + 3x

x = 165 - 74

x = 91

<u>Teams A and B will have the same amount of money when each of them </u><u>sell 91 candy bars</u>.
