Answer:

One store sold 27, and the other sold 43.

Step-by-step explanation:

So, we can easily set this up in an equation. X represents the number of soccer balls in store one, and Y represents the number of soccer balls in store two. Since there's a total of 70 soccer balls...

x+y=70

And since we know how much money they sold for and made total...

15x+65y=2400

We'll grab that first equation and change it around a bit. We'll make it an equation where we're solving for y. Remember that when we switch a value from one side to the other, that value becomes negative. Since x is going to the other side, the x becomes negative.

y=-x+70

We can plug this equation into our second one.

15x+65(-x+70)=2400

We distribute the 65 to the values inside the parentheses.

15x-65x+4550=2400

We only want x on the left side, so we're going to subtract 4550 from both sides.

15x-65x=-2150

Then we can subtract 15x by 65x, resulting in another negative number.

-50x=-2150

Then, we just divide both sides by -50. A negative and a negative makes for a positive.

x=43

Now we know one store sold 43 soccer balls for $15 each. We can plug our new x into the first equation.

43+y=70

Then we subtract both sides by 43.

y=27

Now we know the other store sold 27 soccer balls for a whopping $65 each. Just to double check, we'll plug our numbers into the other equation, too.

15(43)+65(27)=2400

645+1755=2400

Yep! So, we end up with one store selling 43 and the other selling 27.

Your leg has an endpoint of A at the top of your thigh, and endpoint C at your ankle. Imagine the length of your entire leg (fro
Ludmilka [50]

Answer: 25 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's imagine that this line is the leg     A______________B________C

                                                                          x                       11

                                                             |___________36____________|

From A to C = 36 inches

From B to C = 11 inches

To find A to B all we have to do is subtract the knee to ankle length (11) from total leg length (36), which 36 - 11 = 25 inches.

I'm pretty sure they either terminate after so many digits (end) or repeat a certain pattern of numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first will look like this: 432.2340

schepotkina [342]

Step-by-step explanation:

x²-3x +5x -15=33

x²-3x+5x=33+15

x²-3x+5x=48

x²+2x=48

divide both sides by 2

x²+x =24

x²= 24

x= ✓24

dunno from here
