8 x - 4 (5 - x) = -44

mutiply the bracket by -4

(-4)(5) = -20

(-4)(-x)= 4x

8x-20+4x= -44

8x+4x-20= -44 ( combine like terms )

12x-20= -44

move -20 to the other side

sign changes from -20 to +20

12x-20+20= -44+20

12x= -44+20

12x= -24

divide both sides by 12

12x/12= -24/12

Answer: x= -2

A carpenter purchased 50 ft of redwood and 70 ft of pine for a total cost of $280. A second purchase, at the same prices, includ
iris [78.8K]

The cost per foot of redwood and of pine is $3.5 and $1.5 respectively.

<h3>How to solve simultaneous equation?</h3>

let

  • cost of redwood = x
  • cost of pine = y

50x + 70y = 280

100x + 60y = 440

Multiply (1) by 2

100x + 140y = 560

100x + 60y = 440

subtract to eliminate x

80y = 120

y = 120/80

y = $1.5

substitute y = 1.5 into (1)

50x + 70y = 280

50x + 70(1.5) = 280

50x + 105 = 280

50x = 280 - 105

50x = 175

x = 175 / 50

x = $3.5
