It’s kinda blurry I can barely even see it can you upload that worksheet again so I can do it.
Answer:
it should be 14.25
Step-by-step explanation:
S = 2J - 1
R = J + 53
S - 25 = J + 25...S = J + 50
2J - 1 = J + 50
2J - J = 50 + 1
J = 51 <===Jason has 51 CD's
R = J + 53
R = 51 + 53
R = 104 <===Raoul has 104 CD's
S = 2J - 51
S = 2(51) - 1
S = 102 - 1
S = 101 <===Seth has 101 CD's
Answer: 3 kids take 3 pieces of candy each
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of children that took 3 pieces is x ( total take 3*x pieces of candy)
Number of children that took 5 pieces is y ( total take 5*y pieces of candy)
1 child took 1 piece that actually means that x+y=18 and 3*x+5*y=84.
( Because total number of all kids is 19. We just deduct one kid (Let his name is John) who took only 1 candy. So we have 19-1 =18 kids without John. The similar is with the candies. Total number is 85. We deduct 1 piece which John has taken. )
So we have 2 equations or the system of 2 equations:
1). x+y=18
2). 3*x +5*y=84
Multuply both sides of equation 1) by 3
We have 3*x+3*y=18*3
Deduct 3*y from both sides of this equation
3*x+3*y-3*y=54-3*y
3*x=54-3*y
Substitute 3*x in equation 2). by 54-3*y
2) 54-3*y+5*y=84
2*y=30
y=15 ( kids take 5 pieces of candy each)
Using equation 1) find x
x+15=18
x=3 (kids take 3 pieces of candy each)
