Answer:

Thus the number of books at $2 is 9 books.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of the book purchased = 15 books

Total amount spend to buy the books = $34

The prices of books are $2 and $3.

Let the number of books purchased at price  $2 = x

Let the number of books purchased at price  $3 = y

Now we have to find the number of books that is bought at $2.

Below are the equations.

x + y = 15

2x + 3y = 34

Now solve for the x,  

x + y = 15

y = 15 – x

Now insert it in the 2x + 3y = 34

2x + 3(15-x) = 34

2x + 45 – 3x = 34

-x = 34 – 45

x = 9

Thus the number of books at $2 is 9 books.

Ruby plans to make 3 quilts per month until she makes 15 quilts. She figures this will take 1/5 month. Which is NOT a reason why
pashok25 [27]

Answer: c)She should have multiplied 15 by 3 instead of dividing.


Step-by-step explanation:

Number of quilts Ruby plan to make in one month= 3

which means if Ruby makes more than 3 quilts, the time will be more than 1 month.

To find the number of months to make 15 quilts, she need to divide 15 by 3

Thus, the number of months to make 15 quilts=5

Her answer was 1/5 which was absolutely wrong as if she is making 3 quilt in 1 month then in 1/5  month she would make fewer than 3 quilts.

She divides 3 by 15 instead of 15 by 3, thus but the unit is quilts not months.

Thus the only wrong option is c)She should have multiplied 15 by 3 instead of dividing.

Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

c=3

Step-by-step explanation:

4c+12-2c=5c-3  1. combine like terms

2c+12=5c-3    2. -5c on both sides

-3c+12=3      3. -12 on both sides

-3c=-9       4. /-3 on both sides

c=3
