Lets use x to represent the cheese wafers and y to represent the chocolate wafers.
For part A:
The system of equation would be:
x+y=20 (this equation represents how many were bought)
2x+y=25 (the price. Remember that there is an imaginary 1 in front of the y)
For Part B:
To find how many chocolate wafers were bought, isolate y in the first equation (x+y=20) by bringing y to the other side. You are left with x= 20-y.
Plug the new equation into the second equation (2x+y=25) for x.
Now solve:
Step 1 (Plug in): 2(20-y)+y=25
Step 2 (Distribute): 40-2y+y=25
Step 3 (Combine like terms): 40-y=25
Step 4 (Subtract 40 from each side of the equation): -y=-15
Step 5 (divide by -y): y=15
Therefore, a total of 15 chocolate wafers were bought. This means that a total of 5 cheese wafers were bought. I got the answer by solving for variables. I selected these particular method, because it is the easiest and most efficient way of solving this problem (in my opinion). Hope I help :). If you have any questions please let me know.
Answer: 0.694445
1 in. = 0.0277778 yard
=> 25 in= 25(0.0277778)
25in= 0.6944445 yard
Hope this helps!
Answer:
x = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
7x - 3 = -24 (Given)
7x - 3 + 3 = -24 + 3 (Added 3 on both sides by using the addition property of equality)
7x = -21 (Simplified)
7x/7 = -21/7 (Divided 7 on both sides by using the division property of equality)
x = -3 (Simplified)
Therefore, x = -3.
If you're trying to solve for y
-2y = 8
Divide -2 to both sides
Cancel out the -2 on the left, Divide the -2 to the 8 on the right so
y = -4
Answer: A
Step-by-step explanation: Add the amount of candles for both sets together (6 in each set, so 12) and then divide 36 by 12 for 3.
