Answer:

9 Model As.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A represent Press A and let B represent Press B.

So, they own 14 total presses. This means that:

A+B=14

They can print 905 books per day, in other words, since A prints 70 per day and B prints 55 per day:

70A+55B=905

This is now a system of equations. Solve by substitution. From the first equation, subtract B from both sides:

A=14-B

Substitute this into the second equation: "

70(14-B)+55B=905

First, we can divide everything by 5 to simplify things:

14(14-B)+11B=181

Distribute the left:

196-14B+11B=181

Combine like terms:

-3B+196=181

Subtract 196 from both sides:

-3B=-15

Divide both sides by -3

B=5

So, the company has 5 Model B presses.

Which means that the company has 14-5 or 9 Model A presses.

And we're done!

-2 -13.8x = -8 -(6x+1)
Varvara68 [4.7K]
-2 -13.8x = -8 -6x -1
First, I distributed the negative 1 that was outside of the parentheses to the positive 6x and the positive 1.

-2 -13.8x = -9 -6x
Then I added the negative 8 to the negative 1 which equals negative 9.

-2 -13.8x +6x = -9 -6x +6x
After that I used the addition property and added a positive 6x to both sides.

-2 -7.8x = -9
Then simplifying.

+2 -2 -7.8x = -9 +2
After simplifying, I used the addition property again, adding a positive 2 to both sides.

-7.8x = -7
Simplified.

-7.8x (-1) = -7 (-1)
Then I multiplied both sides by with a negative 1 since the variable cannot be a negative.

7.8x = 7
Simplified

(1/7.8) 7.8x = (1/7.8) 7
Then, to isolate the veriable, I multiplied 1/7.8 to both sides.

x = 1.11428571429
The answer !

I hope this helped !

Electric current is the movement of the electrons caused by potential difference. For example, in a circuit, the electrons in the bulb will not move without the potential difference or voltage. When there is voltage, electric current occurs because there is a driving force for the electrons in the wire to move.
