Y= 2x + 1 is the equation hope this helps!
Mrs. Annie went to a store, spent half of her money and then $10 more. She went to a second store, spent half of her remaining money and then $10 more. But she then had no money left. How much money did she have to begin with when she went to the first store?
Answer: $60
Answer:
the answer is 4/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Short answer: C
Remark
Since b is all by itself in equation 2, Substitute it into equation 1.
2a + 3b = 5
b = a - 5 Put this result in equation 1. Be sure and use brackets.
2a + 3(a - 5) = 5 Remove the brackets.
2a + 3a - 15 = 5 Notice the -5 inside the brackets becomes - 15
Combine like terms on the left.
5a - 15 = 5 Add 15 to both sides
5a = 5 + 15
5a = 20 Divide by 5
a = 20/5
a = 4
So far, c is the only possible answer.
b = a - 5
b = 4 - 5
b = - 1
