v + m = 32 and v = 5 + 2m are the equations that are used to determine m, the number of stuffed animals Mariposa has
Number of stuffed animals Mariposa has is 9 and number of stuffed animals with Veronica is 23
<h3>
<u>Solution:</u></h3>
Let "v" be the number of stuffed animals with Veronica
Let "m" be the number of stuffed animals with Mariposa
Given that,
Together, they have 32 stuffed animals
Therefore,
v + m = 32 --------- eqn 1
Veronica has 5 more than double the number of stutted animals as her friend Mariposa
Therefore,
Number of stuffed animals with Veronica = 5 + 2(number of stuffed animals with Mariposa)
v = 5 + 2m ---------- eqn 2
Thus eqn 1 and eqn 2 can be used to determine m, the number of stuffed animals Mariposa has
Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2
Substitute eqn 2 in eqn 1
5 + 2m + m = 32
5 + 3m = 32
3m = 32 - 5
3m = 27
<h3>m = 9</h3>
Substitute m = 9 in eqn 2
v = 5 + 2(9)
v = 5 + 18
<h3>v = 23</h3>
Thus number of stuffed animals Mariposa has is 9 and number of stuffed animals with Veronica is 23
Answer:
x = 18
Step-by-step explanation:
The parts of the triangles are proportional, so you can write ...
2x/80 = 27/60
Multiply by 120:
3x = 54
Divide by 3:
x = 18
Answer:
The answer is y = 2x - 3.
Step-by-step explanation:
Move 2x to the right side of the equation by adding it to both sides:
-2x + y + 3 = 0
<u>+ 2x + 2x</u>
y + 3 = 2x
Then, move 3 to the right side of the equation by subtracting it form both sides:
y + 3 = 2x
<u> - 3 - 3</u>
y = 2x - 3
Some equivalent fractions of 8/3 are:
8/3 = 16/6 = 24/9 = 32/12 = 40/15 = 48/18 = 56/21 = 64/24 = 72/27 = 80/30 = 88/33 = 96/36 = 104/39 = 112/42 = 120/45 = 128/48 = 136/51 = 144/54 = 152/57 = 160/60
