Answer:
18 Skittles
6 M&Ms
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up an equation:
Variable x = number of skittles
Variable y = number of M&Ms
1.50x + 2y = 39
x + y = 24
In the second equation, isolate a variable:
x = 24 - y
Substitute the value of x for 24 - y in the first equation:
1.50(24 - y) + 2y = 39
Use distributive property
36 - 1.5y + 2y = 39
Combine like terms
36 + 0.5y = 39
Isolate variable y:
0.5y = 3
y = 6
Substitute the value of y for 6 in the second equation:
x + 6 = 24
Isolate variable x:
x = 18
Plug these values into any equation of your choice to see if these values are correct (I'll do both equations just to prove it):
1.50(18) + 2(6) = 39
27 + 12 = 39
39 = 39
Correct
x + y = 24
18 + 6 = 24
24 = 24
Correct
Answer:
12+8=x or x-8=12 and they collected 20 leaves yesterday
Step-by-step explanation: Since they collected 8 fewer today, to find yesterday u would have to add. 12+8=20. PS idk if that makes sense srry
Simple. Just add/subtract each term. 4n-2n=2n. 8m+7m=15m.
This is very basic stuff.
Answer:
7.5 flour bag
Step-by-step explanation:
we are given
flour bags need to make 1 dozen cookies=3/4
we have to find
number of flour bags for 10 dozen cookies needed =?
1 dozen cookies needed flour=3/4
and for 10 dozen cookies
we will multiply 10 on both sides
it will give
10 dozen cookies needed flour bags=(3/4)*10=30/4=15/2=7.5
If there are 26 students and 16 are men then that means that there are 10 women.
