First you must add the same numbers together, for instance, you wouldn't add 4y with 4 you have to add it with another number that is just like it, for instance 4y and 9y they are the same, so you can add them. So let's get to the problem now:
5y(2y-3)=(2y-3)
5y*2y=10y
(10y-3)=(2y-3)
You can do nothing to the other side because there are no numbers, that are the same.
Answer:
She went on the slide 8 times and on the roller coaster 4 times
Step-by-step explanation:
We convert each statements to a mathematical equation.
Firstly, let's represent the number of times she went on the coaster with R and the number of times on the slide with S. We know quite well she went on 12 rides. Hence the summation of both number of times yield 12.
Mathematically, R + S = 12. ........(i)
Now we also know her total wait time was 3hours. Since an hour equals 60 minutes, her total wait time would equal 180 minutes.
To get a mathematical representation for the wait time, we multiply the number of roller coaster rides by 25 and that of the slides by 10.
Mathematically, 25R + 10S = 180 .......(ii)
Here we now have two equations that we can solve simultaneously.
From equation 1 we can say R = 12 - S. We can then substitute this into equation 2 to yield the following:
25(12 - s) + 10s = 180
300 - 25s + 10s = 180
300 - 25s + 10s = 180
300 - 15s = 180
15s = 300 - 180
15s = 120
S = 120/15
S = 8
S = 8 , and R = 12 - S = 12 - 8 = 4
