Tell him to stop buying shoes, you wouldnt have this questions.
that would be 1/2 :P
Answer:
1.15p + 285 = 5.84
Step-by-step explanation:
This problem has two equations. Total cost and Total pounds. The cost and the pounds
p = apple pounds
b = banana pounds
<u>Cost</u>
1.90p + .75b = 5.84
<u>Pounds</u>
p + b = 3.8
<u>Now we use the substitute method for system of equations to solve</u>
p + b = 3.8
b = -p + 3.8
<u>Now that we know what b equals, substitute is for b in the cost equation.</u>
1.90p + .75b = 5.84
1.90p + .75(-p+3.8) = 5.84
<u>distribute / multiply .75 by (-p+3.8)</u>
1.90p + -.75p + 2.85 = 5.84
<u>Combine the p values</u>
1.15p + 285 = 5.84
This is a sum and difference problem, with the equations
R-N=35
R+N=635
The solution of which is
R=(635+35)/2=335
N=(635-35)/2=300
In general, the sum and difference problem can be solved (most of the time mentally) using
Larger number = (sum + difference)/2
Smaller number = (sum - difference)/2
Answer: x = 
Step-by-step explanation:
= 
1/27 can be written in index form as 
The equation then becomes:
= 
Equating the coefficient
4x - 5 = -3 ( 2x + 10)
4x - 5 = -6x - 30
10x = -30 + 5
10x = -25
x = -25/10
x = -5/2
x = - 2.5
