Answer:

11

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the no. of helmet be x

cost of 1 helmet = $12.00

cost of x helmet = $12.00*x = $12x

Let the no. of tire pumps be y

cost of 1 tire pumps = $8.00

cost of x tire pumps = $8.00*y = $8y

Given that total no. of helmet and pump is 18

thus

x + y = 18

y = 18-x

also given

total money spent is $188

thus

12x+8y = 188

using y = 18 - x

we have

12x + 8(18-x) = 188

=> 12x+ 144 - 8x = 188

=> 4x = 188-144 = 44

=> x = 44/4 = 11

Thus, no of helmet bought by Margo is 11.

If n erasers have a weight of 80 grams, what is the total weight of 50 erasers?
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

The\ weight\ of\ the\ 50\ erasers\ be\ \frac{4000}{n}\ grams.

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

if n erasers have a weight of 80 grams .

I.e

n erasera =  80 grams.

1 erasers weight .

1\ erasers\ weight = \frac{80}{n}

Now find out the weight of the 50 erasers.

Weight\ of\ 50\ erasers = \frac{50\times 80}{n}\ grams

Simplify the above

Weight\ of\ 50\ erasers = \frac{4000}{n}\ grams

Therefore\ the\ weight\ of\ the\ 50\ erasers\ be\ \frac{4000}{n}\ grams.

X-5y=-15x−5y=−15x, minus, 5, y, equals, minus, 15 Complete the missing value in the solution to the equation. (-5,(−5,left paren
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

<h2>The missing value is 2. The coordinate will be (-5, 2)</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is not properly written. Find the correct question below.

If x – 5y = -15 . Complete the missing value in the solution to the equation (-5, ____)

Let the coordinate of the variables be (x, y). Comparing the coordinates (x, y) with the given coordinate (-5, __), we will discover that x = -5. To get the y coordinate, we will substitute x = -5 into the given expression as shown;

If x – 5y = -15

-5 - 5y = -15

Adding 5 both sides

-5-5y+5 = -15+5

-5y = -10

Dividing both sides by -5;

-5y/-5 = -10/-5

y = 2

<u>Hence the missing value in the solution of the equation is 2</u>. The coordinate will be (-5, 2)
