You are buying 2 items so let's use two different variables to represent each:
p = number of tubes of paint
b = number of disposable brushes
cost = price per item × number of items
Equations from information given:
4p + 0.50b = 20 ← from the first 2 sentences
2p = b ← if there are twice as many brushes as paint tubes you need 2 times paint tubes to equal number of brushes
Solve the problem by using substitution... 1b equals 2p so replace b with that:
4p + 0.50(2p) = 20
4p + 1p = 20 ← 0.50 is half so half of 2p is 1p
5p = 20 ← combine like terms
p = 4 ← divide both sides of the equation by 5
Recall the equation 2p = b replace p with 4
2(4) = b
8 = b
ANSWER:
You purchased 4 tubes of paint and 8 disposable brushes.
Answer:
8 1/2 cups
Step-by-step explanation:
12 3/4 divided by 3= 4 1/4 times 2 = 8 2/4 = 8 1/2
Answer:
48 plants.
Step-by-step explanation:
On one side there would be 21 * 12 inches / 21 inches =- 12 plants.
There are 4 sides so that makes 48 plants.
Answer:
865
Step-by-step explanation: The set of possibilities are:
Subcommittee is of 4 people according to:
4 teachers 0 other member total possibilities 1
3 teachers 1 teachers C₄,₃ = 4 and other member 6 6*4 = 24
2 teachers 2 C₄,₂ = 4!/2! = 12 2 (om) and C₆,₂ = 6!/4! = 30
30*12 = 360
1 teacher 3 (om) 4 and C₆,₃ = 6!/3! = 120
120*4 = 480
Total ways of committee 1 + 24 + 360 + 480 = 865
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the slope formula
(x2-x1)/(y2/y1)
substitute the values
(1-10)/(9-7)
solve
-9/-2
simplify
9/2 or 4.5
