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.
The area of the trapezoid is calculated through the equation,
A = 0.5(b₁ + b₂)h
where b₁ and b₂ are the bases and h is the height. Substituting the known values from the given,
A = 0.5(9.6 + 25)(90) = 1557 mi²
Therefore, the approximate area of the country is 1557 mi².
Answer:
Erie to Rochester is 145 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
If we designate the points of interest as C, E, and R, we are told that ...
CE + ER = CR . . . . . the various distances are segments of a straight line
For CE = 94 and CR = 239, we can fill in the given information and solve for ER.
94 + ER = 239
ER = 239 -94 . . . . . . subtract 94 from both sides of the equation
ER = 145
The distance from Erie to Rochester is 145 miles.
