Let c and n represent the numbers of pencil and pen boxes, respectively
.. 3c +2n = 6.00
.. 2c +4n = 8.00
You can halve the second equation and subtract it from the first to get
.. (3c +2n) -(c +2n) = 6.00 -4.00
.. 2c = 2.00
.. c = 1.00
Then
.. 1.00 +2n = 4.00 . . . . . half the original second equation with c filled n
.. 2n = 3.00
.. n = 1.50
A box of pencils costs $1.00; a box of pens costs $1.50.
The answer would be 10 11/20 or 10.55 in decimal form
Answer:
A) answer c ; B) X+3.7=15.3 ; C) 15.3 - 3.7 = 11.6 ---> 11.6+3.7=15.3
Step-by-step explanation:
Solution for A: First you have to look for the line underneath the bar says 15.3 as this will represent the total amount of liters in the bucket altogether. This would be bar c since we also know that we have 3.7 liters added but are missing the amount that was previously inside the bucket.
Solution for B: Let X resemble the unknown amount of water. To solve B, we need to write an equation. We know that there was already an amount of water in the bucket prior to us pouring more in so X is our first addend. We then added 3.7 liters of water to the unknown amount so that is our next addend giving you X+3.7=15.3
Solution for C: Now that we know our equation, we do the inverse operation (subtraction) in order to figure out the missing amount of water. This means we do
15.3 - 3.7 = 11.6
Emily Dickinson's poetry was rescued for posterity by her sister (c). Emily Dickinson lived during the American Civil War, but she lived in her father's house in Amherst, Massachusetts. This area was not affected by the Civil War. She was fairly isolated as a poet and, as a result, the events of the Civil War did not play a major role in her poetry. She wrote mainly about the events in her direct environment, with no direct sense of the time in which she lived. Her world consisted of her own home and the surrounding countryside.
