Hey there!

Let's create a systems of equations with x and y to find our numbers.

x=5y

x-y=1480

Let's plug our x value into the second equation.

5y=y=1480

4y=1480

y=370

Now we multiply this number by five as the first equation says to get our x.

x=1850

Our numbers are 1850 and 370.

I hope this helps!

(**15 POINTS**)
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

0.6x = 87

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write en equation:

We have to multiply the variable x by the percentage given (60%) in decimal form (divided by 100). That expression must be equal to 87.

Mathematically speaking:

x (60/100) = 87

0.6x = 87

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

Create a list of steps, in order, that will solve the following equation.
Vlada [557]

Answer:

a = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for a:

2 (a + 5) - 1 = 3

Hint: | Distribute 2 over a + 5.

2 (a + 5) = 2 a + 10:

(2 a + 10) - 1 = 3

Hint: | Group like terms in 2 a - 1 + 10.

Grouping like terms, 2 a - 1 + 10 = 2 a + (10 - 1):

(2 a + (10 - 1)) = 3

Hint: | Evaluate 10 - 1.

10 - 1 = 9:

2 a + 9 = 3

Hint: | Isolate terms with a to the left hand side.

Subtract 9 from both sides:

2 a + (9 - 9) = 3 - 9

Hint: | Look for the difference of two identical terms.

9 - 9 = 0:

2 a = 3 - 9

Hint: | Evaluate 3 - 9.

3 - 9 = -6:

2 a = -6

Hint: | Divide both sides by a constant to simplify the equation.

Divide both sides of 2 a = -6 by 2:

(2 a)/2 = (-6)/2

Hint: | Any nonzero number divided by itself is one.

2/2 = 1:

a = (-6)/2

Hint: | Reduce (-6)/2 to lowest terms. Start by finding the GCD of -6 and 2.

The gcd of -6 and 2 is 2, so (-6)/2 = (2 (-3))/(2×1) = 2/2×-3 = -3:

Answer:  a = -3

Ms. Jones had $40 to purchase groceries. She bought 4 packs of rice and 3 boxes of granola bars. The packs of rice cost $1.09 ea
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

so to know full price of granola bars and rice packs; you would multiply 1.09 × 4 for the rice which you get 4.36 then for granola bars you do 4.29 × 3 and you get 12.87 then you add 12.87 + 4.36 = 17.23 then you subtract this from the $$ Mr.Jones has which is 40 so its 40-17.23 and you get 22.77

Bruno uses a piece of wrapping paper with dimensions 1 and one-fourth feet by 3 feet to wrap a gift. What is the total area of t
8_murik_8 [283]

The area of the paper used to wrap the gift is 3 3/4 square feet

<h3>How to determine the total area?</h3>

The dimension is given as:

1 1/4 by 3

The area is the product of the dimensions.

So, we have

Area = 1 1/4 * 3

Express as an improper fraction

Area = 5/4 * 3

Evaluate

Area = 15/4

Rewrite as:

Area = 3 3/4

Hence, the area of the paper used to wrap the gift is 3 3/4 square feet
