Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
- drink cost: $1.75
- slice of pizza cost: $2.25
Step-by-step explanation:
Let d and p represent the costs of a drink and a pizza slice, respectively. The two orders have a value ...
d + 3p = 8.50
2d + 2p = 8.00
Subtracting the second equation from twice the first gives ...
2(d +3p) -(2d +2p) = 2(8.50) -(8.00)
4p = 9.00 . . . . . simplify
p = 2.25 . . . . . . divide by 4
Solving the first equation for d and putting in the value, we have
d = 8.50 -3p = 8.50 -3·2.25 = 8.50 -6.75
d = 1.75
The cost of a drink is $1.75; the cost of a pizza slice is $2.25.
Answer:
$62.9 and $98.4
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the cost of tennis shoe be x
Since a jacket cost $35.50 more than a pair of tennis shoe,
Then cost of jacket would be
= $35.50 + x
Total cost of both items would be;
x + $35.50 + x = $161.30
2x = $161.30 - $35.50
2x = $125.8
x = $62.9
Therefore, cost of pair of tennis shoe is $62.9
Jacket cost would now be
= $35.5 + x
= $35.5 + $62.9
= $98.4
Answer:
6x +2x
Step-by-step explanation:
when the number= x, you can just form the equation as per usual. 6x = a number times 6; 2x = a number times 2.
x is used bc the number is an unknown value. only x can be used bc it is stated the same number. hsing different alphabets such as y or z indicates the unknown value ia different.
