Answer:
If a figure has four sides, then it is a kites.
Step-by-step explanation:
4x - 3(x - 2) - x
4x - 3x + 6 - x
4x - 4x + 6
6....u r correct because ur x's cancel out
Answer:
The price of the burrito is $3.5 and the price of the taco is $2.5.
Step-by-step explanation:
2x+5y=19.5
5x+2y=22.5
------------------
5(2x+5y)=5(19.5)
-2(5x+2y)=-2(22.5)
-----------------------------
10x+25y=97.5
-10x-4y=-45
-----------------------
21y=52.5
y=52.5/21=2.5
2x+5(2.5)=19.5
2x+12.5=19.5
2x=19.5-12.5
2x=7
x=7/2=3.5
x=3.5, y=2.5
The price of the burrito is $3.5 and the price of the taco is $2.5.
Answer: 16
Solution:
1) Use letters to identify the variables:
Number of trumpets: t
Number of clarinets: c
2) Translate each statement into algebraic (mathematical) language.
2.1) Sold a total of 27 used trumpets and clarinets
=> t + c = 27
2.2) Trumpets cost $149 and clarinets cost $99
Total cost of the trumpets: 149t
Total cost of clarinets: 99c
Total cost = 149t + 99c
2.3) Total sales were $3223
=> 149t + 99c = 3223.
3) State the system of equations:
Equation (1) t + c = 27
Equation (2) 149t + 99c = 3223
4) Solve the system of equations:
4.1) Multiply equation 1 by 149:
=> 149t + 149c = 4023
4.2) Subtract the equation (2) from the equation obtained in 4.1
=> 149c - 99c = 4023 - 3223
=> 50c = 800
=> c = 800 / 50 = 16
5) Verify the solution:
From equation (1) t = 27 - 16 = 11
Total cost = 149*11 + 99*16 = 3223
Now you have a verified answer: they sold 16 clarinets
