In the problem, the first equation should be represented like this base on the variable given in the problem:

20p + 9t = 44.4

with that equation, the second equation would is given by this formula, in response with the additional number of paperback and textbook

21p + 14t = 51

to get the system equation in getting the mass of each variable, you should subtract the two equation to simplified the formula.

   20p + 9t = 44.4
 - 21p + 14t = 51
-------------------------
p + 5t = 6.6 // this is the system equation that could be use in getting the mass of each object

How to find the median on a dot plot?
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

In order to find the median of the data you take every value and order it from least to greatest. When you do this make sure you write a number the correct amount of times. for example if there are 4 dots above 6 on the dot plot then you need to make sure you write 6 4 times. After you have all the data from least to greatest find the number in the middle. that is the median.

A number of robbers were discussing how best to share some stolen rolls of
kupik [55]

Answer:

83

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of robbers be x

If they share 6 rolls each, the tota rolls will be 6x and since they have five remainder, the overall total is then 6x+5

In case they share 7 rolls each, it means they have 7x rolls but here they will be less 8 rolls hence 7x-8 is the overall total.

Equating these two

7x-8=6x+5

Arranging similar terms

7x-6x=8+5

x=13

Therefore, the robbers are 13

The rolla they have will be

6(13)+5=83

Or

7(13)-8=83

Solve the equations with variable on both sides: 8x=10x + 20 A. X= -10 B. X= -35 C. X= -23 D. X= -40
liberstina [14]

The correct answer is A

A) 8(-10)=10(-10)+20 becomes -80 = -80

B) 8(-35)=10(-35)+20 becomes -280 \neq  -330

C) 8(-23)=10(-23)+20 becomes -184 \neq  -210

D) 8(-40)=10(-40)+20 becomes -320\neq   -380
