Answer:
-2.5 = x
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply by what's in the parentheses by 2.
6x - 1 = 4x - 6
Add 6 to both sides of equation.
6x + 5 = 4x
Subtract 6x from both sides.
5 = -2x
Divide both sides by -2.
-2.5 = x
55/100 can be simplified to 11/20
In expanded form or decimal form 32/100 is equal to 0.32 or 32% or if simplified the fraction is 8/25
17 yellow sweatshirts were sold and 3 white sweatshirts were sold.
How did I get this?
First, we need to figure out what we know.
20 sweatshirts sold
White sweatshirts $10.95
Yellow sweatshirts $13.50
Total spent $262.35
$10.95W + $13.50Y = $262.35
W + Y = 20 sweatshirts
In both equations, the variables represent the amount of sweatshirts sold, which is unknown, but when we know the amount it will add up to $262.35.
Y = 20 - W so lets substitute that into the first equation
10.95w + 13.50(20 - W) = 262.35
Distribute the 13.50 into the parenthesis.
10.95w + 270 - 13.50w = 262.35
Combine like terms.
-2.55w + 270 = 262.35
Subtract both sides by 270, the left side will cancel out.
-2.55w = -7.65
Divide -2.55 by both sides to isolate the variable.
W = -7.65/-2.55
(W)hite = 3 sweatshirts
Put 3 sweatshirts into our second equations.
Y = 20 - 3
(Y)ellow = 17 sweatshirts
So, 17 yellow sweatshirts were sold and 3 white sweatshirts were sold.
Now, lets check our math by substituting the # of sweatshirts into our first equation.
$10.95(3) + $13.50(17) = $262.35
$32.85 + $229.50 = $262.35
$262.35 = $262.35 (correct!)
The domain is all real numbers. the range is all real numbers greater than zero.
