Answer:
6x+2
Step-by-step explanation:
your combine like terms...
so 13x is teh same as -7x
13x-7x= 6x
3 and -1 are the same as well
3-1=2
so teh answer would be
6x+2
Answer:
k= -2
Step-by-step explanation:
you are dividing the x by -2 each time
Let:
x = cost of senior citizen ticket
y = cost of student ticket
4x + 5y = 102
7x + 5y = 126
4x + 5y = 102
4x = 102 - 5y
x = (102 - 5y)/4
x = 102/4 - 5y/4
7x + 5y = 126
7(102/4 - 5y/4) + 5y = 126
(714/4 - 35y/4) + 5y = 126
-35y/4 + 5y = 126 - 714/4
note:
-35y/4 = -8.75y
714/4 = 178.5
-8.75y + 5y = 126 - 178.5
-3.75y = -52.5
y = -52.5/-3.75
y = 14
x = 102/4 - 5y/4
x = 102/4 - 5(14)/4
x = 8
x = cost of senior citizen ticket = $8/ea
y = cost of student ticket = $14/ea
Because he has 4 pounds of apples left, you are to subtract that from the total pounds picked, which was a total of 55 pounds. So 55 with 4 taken away, or 55 - 4, equals 51. Since he had equally put 51 pounds into six bags, you are to then divide . 51 / 6 = 8.5. He had put 8.5 pounds worth of apples into each bag.
