The answer to that problem is 27. You could divide 108 by 4 and get the answer of 27
We are going to make simultaneous equations.
x will be our $3 ice cream and y will be our $5 ice cream
Equation1 ---- x + y = 50 (the sum of all the ice creams they sell)
Equation 2 ---- 3x + 5y = 180 Sum of all the $3 and $5 ice creams is $180
Since we can't solve for both variables we will put one of the variables in terms of the other.
Take x+y=50 and subtract y from both sides. (I could have done subtracted x - it did not matter). Now we have x= ₋ y +50 (negative y +50)
Now I am going to take equation 2 and replace the x with -y +50
3 (-y +50) + 5y = 180
Now I will use the distributive law on the 3 and what's in the parentheses:
-3y + 150 + 5y = 180
Now I will combine like terms (the -3y and the 5y)
2y + 150 = 180
Now subtract 150 from both sides of the equation
2y = 30
Divide both sides by 2
and get y= 15 They sold 15 ice creams that cost $5 each
Since equation 1 is x+y=50 we can replace y with 15
x + 15 = 50 Now subtract 15 from both sides x = 35
Since x represents the $3 ice creams, they sold 35 of those.
Check:
35 X 3 = $105
15 x 5 = + <u>75
</u> $180
Answer:
short story has 32 pgs
novel has 416 pgs
Step-by-step explanation:
a novel (N) has 13 times as many pages as a short story (x) so, N = 13X
total pages is the equation N + x = 448
plug the equation for N into this
13x + x = 448, combine like terms
14x = 448, divide both sides by 14
x = 32. so now we know that the short story has 32 pages. subtract that from 448. and the novel has 416 pages.
Answer:
Ummm what am i helping you with? You did not say anything, so i can't help you
Step-by-step explanation:
The unit numbers can be 2,4,6.Suppose 2 as the unit number we can form 20 numbers the same way for 4 and 6 so totally 60 numbers.
