Answer: the right cost is $1.05 for a bat and 0.5c for a ball.


Step-by-step explanation:

Let's imagine x in the price of bat and y is the price of the ball

From the infor we know that:

x + y= 1.10 (dollars)

and since the bat is $1 more than the ball we can ensure that:

x - 1 = y

Now we can replace y as follow:

x + x - 1 = 1.10

2x - 1 = 1.10

2x = 1.10 + 1

2x = 2.10

x= 2.10/2= 1.05 (dollars)

How to use denominators when comparing two fractions with the same numerators
Sholpan [36]
What you would do is take the denominators and multiply them by each other, then multiply the numerators by that same number. So like 4/10 and 4/9. You would say, (denominators) 10x9=90 and (numerators) 4x9=36. So your first fraction would be 36/90. Next, you would take (denominators) 9x10=90 and (numerators) 4x10=40. So your second fraction would become 40/90. Now it's a lot easier to compare. 36/90 < 40/90 would be the answer to my problem. I hope I helped!

-12&lt;-6x please help
pishuonlain [190]
-12 < -6x

-12/-6 > x    divide both sides by -6

12/6 > x      two negatives makes a positive

2 > x            simplify

x < 2           
switch sides

hope this helps, God bless!
