Answer:

Number of​ restaurant-purchased meals eaten in a​ restaurant = 70

Number of​ restaurant-purchased meals eaten in a​ car = 22

Number of​ restaurant-purchased meals eaten in a​ home = 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of people that will eat in a restaurant be R.

Let the number of people that will eat in a car be C.

Let the number of people that will eat in a home be H.

From the information given in the problem we have,

R+C+H = 152 ____equation (1)

C+H-R = 12 ____equation (2)

R = H+10 ____equation (3)

1) Plugging in R=H+10 from equation 3 into the equation 2, we get

C+H-R=12

=> C+H-(H+10)=12

=> C+H-H-10=12

2) Cancelling out +H and -H, we get

C-10=12

3) Add 10 to both sides

C-10+10=12+10

4) Cancelling out -10 and +10, we get

C=22

5) Plugin C=22 in equation 1, we have

R+C+H = 152

=> R+22+H=152

Subtract 22 from both sides,

R+22+H-22=152-22

Cancelling out +22 and -22 from the left side, we get

R+H=130 ____let it be equation (4)

6) Plugin C=22 in equation 2, we have

C+H-R = 12

22+H-R = 12

Subtracting 22 from both the sides, we get

22+H-R-22 = 12-22

Cancelling out +22 and -22 from the left side,

H-R = -10 ____let it be equation (5)

7) Adding equation 4 and equation 5, we get

(R+H)+(H-R) = 130 + (-10)

=> R+H+H-R = 130-10

8) Cancelling out R and -R from the left side, we get

2H = 120

9) Dividing both sides by 2, we get

\frac{2H}{2} = \frac{120}{2}

10) Cancelling out the 2's from the left side, we have

H=60

11) Plugging in C=22 and H=60 in the equation 1, we have

R+C+H = 152

=> R+22+60=152

=> R + 82 = 152

12) Subtracting 82 from both the sides, we get

R + 82 -82 = 152 -82

13) Cancelling out +82 and -82 from the left side, we get

R = 70

<em>So, C=22, H=60, R=70</em>

4x + 5y = 12 and 3x + 4y = 9.25 . Solve for systems of equations
masha68 [24]

Answer:

y=1

x=7/4

Step-by-step explanation:

4x + 5y = 12

3x + 4y = 9.25

4x + 5y = 12

12x + 16y =37

-12x -15 y =-36

12x + 16y =37

y=1

x=7/4

The width of a rectangle is 2/5 its length. Find the dimensions if the perimeter is 42<br> meters.
Olin [163]

The formula to find the perimeter of a rectangle is P= 2(l+w). By substituting what we now knowin to the equation:

•42=2(l+(2/5l)). We can have width represented at (2/5l) because it’s now 2/5 of the length. Now add them together to get a single coefficient for l.

•42= 2(7/5l). Multiplying 7/5 by 2.

42= (14/5l). Multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of 14/5, which is 5/14, to get l by itself.

•l= 15.

Now that we now know the value of l, we know that the length is 15m. To find the width of the answer, we then multiply 15 by 2/5, which equals 6. Therefore, the only third option is correct because the length is 15m and the width is 6m.
