The answer is (4)(x)(x) because it’s 4 times 2 x’s
To solve this we need only substitute values of u and w, and then calculate.
<span>u+5v-w = 6 + 5v - 9 = 5v +6 - 9 = 5v - 3</span>
Answer:
- 40 popcorns and 90 pretzels sold.
============
Let the number of popcorns is x and pretzels is y.
Set up equations:
- x + y = 130
- 2.5x + 2y = 280
Solve by elimination, multiply the first equation by 2 and subtract from the second equation:
- 2.5x + 2y - 2x - 2y = 280 - 2*130
- 0.5x = 280 - 260
- 0.5x = 20
- x = 20/0.5
- x = 40
Find y:
- 40 + y = 130
- y = 130 - 40
- y = 90
Whats the problem for this?
