Given : 2D + 1L = 100,
And D + L = 70
This is a simultaneous equation can be solved as follows
2D + L = 100
- D - L = -70
————————————-
D - 0 = 30
i.e D (number of dudes) = 30
Therefore, since we already know the fraternity sold 70 tickets in total,
70 -30 = 40 (the number of ladies attended)
Answer:
Give me a second I know this one.
Step-by-step explanation:
...
Answer:
-43
Step-by-step explanation:
143 equal number of girls. The boys is unknown so they'll be x and the question says 2 times.So the equation would be 143=57-2x.
143=57-2x
so subtract 57 from both sides (57 and 143).
86=-2x
divide each side by -2
so x= - 43
<h3>Given</h3>
regular paper costs $3.79 per ream
recycled paper costs $5.49 per ream
$582.44 was spent for 116 reams
<h3>Find</h3>
the numbers of reams of each type that were purchased
<h3>Solution</h3>
Let r and g represent the numbers of reams of regular and recycled ("green") paper, respectively.
... r + g = 116 . . . . . . . . 116 reams were purchased
... 3.79r + 5.49g = 582.44 . . . . this is the total cost of the purchase
Solve the first equation for r and substitute that into the second equation.
... r = 116 - g
... 3.79(116 - g) + 5.49g = 582.44 . . . . . use the expression for r
... 1.70g + 439.64 = 582.44 . . . . . . . . . simplify
... g = (582.44 -439.64)/1.70 = 84 . . . . subtract the constant, divide by 1.70
... r = 116 -84 = 32 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . use the equation for r
32 regular reams and 84 recycled reams were purchased
