Simplifying
2x + 3y = 60

Solving
2x + 3y = 60

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-3y' to each side of the equation.
2x + 3y + -3y = 60 + -3y

Combine like terms: 3y + -3y = 0
2x + 0 = 60 + -3y
2x = 60 + -3y

Divide each side by '2'.
x = 30 + -1.5y

Simplifying
x = 30 + -1.5y

Hope this helps! :D

<h3>Answer:</h3>

\large\boxed{-1\frac{16}{25},\,\frac{6}{40},\,0.35,\,1\frac{3}{4}}

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

In this question, it's asking you to put the numbers that were given from <em>least </em>to <em>greatest.</em>

Our given numbers are:

  • \frac{6}{40}
  • 0.35
  • 1\frac{3}{4}
  • -1\frac{16}{25}

Now, lets sort them out.

We know that negative numbers would be the least. Sicne there's only one negative number, we would put that first because it's the least out of the numbers.

\frac{6}{40} would go next. To make it easier, we can turn it into a decimal. \frac{6}{40} = 0.15 when you divide.

0.35 will go next. This would be bigger than 0.15, but lower than the next number.

1\frac{3}{4} would go last, due to the fact that it's the greatest. 1\frac{3}{4} is the same as 1.75

When you put them in order, you should get -1\frac{16}{25},\,\frac{6}{40},\,0.35,\,1\frac{3}{4}

<h3>I hope this helped you out.</h3><h3>Good luck on your academics.</h3><h3>Have a fantastic day!</h3>

(a) need to find the number of books, we'll call it "b". then the money (6w) minus the cost of books (17b) equals change left over (w)
6w - 17b = w
6w - w = 17b
5w = 17b
(5/17)w = b

(b) if w = 34
(5/17) *34 = b
10 = b
