Sold 2/5 in the morning.....leaving 3/5
he sold 3/4 of 3/5 in the afternoon......3/4 * 3/5 = 9/20

2/5 = 8/20
9/20 - 8/20 = 1/20...so he sold 1/20 more in the afternoon.
so if 1/20 = 24, then 20/20 = 24*20 = 480

so he started with 480 cartons

If the smaller of two numbers is one half of the larger number and the sum of the two numbers is 60 find the numbers
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Larger number = X

Smaller number = 1/2X

X + 1/2X = 60

Simplify:

1 1/2x = 60

Divide both sides by  1 1/2:

x = 40

The numbers are 20 and 40

Which of these strategies would eliminate a variable in the system of equations? 5x+3y=9 4x−3y=9 ​
puteri [66]

Adding both equations will eliminate a variable in the system of equations

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equations are:

5x+3y= 9\ \ \ \ \ Eqn\ 1\\4x-3y=9\ \ \ \ \       Eqn\ 2

One of the methods to solve simultaneous linear equations is elimination. In elimination one of the variables is eliminated from the system to find the value of other variable.

In the given equations we can see that the coefficients of y in both equations are same with opposite signs so adding both equations will eliminate the variable y from the system.

Hence,

Adding both equations will eliminate a variable in the system of equations
