Answer:

w+b=150

Or

2b+b=150

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : An orchestra has twice as many woodwind instruments as brass instruments. There are a total of 150 brass and woodwind instruments.

To Find: Write two different addition equations that describes this situation.

Solution:

Let w be the woodwinds instruments..

Let b be the brass instruments.

We are given that An orchestra has twice as many woodwind instruments as brass instruments.

So, w = 2b

We are given that There are a total of 150 brass and woodwind instruments.

So, w+b=150

Or

2b+b=150

Hence two different addition equations that describes this situation are :

w+b=150

Or

2b+b=150

Answer: The two different addition equations that describes the given situation are,

w = 2 b

b + w = 150

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, w represents the number of woodwinds and b represents the number of brass instrument.

Since, There are twice as many woodwind instruments as brass instruments,

⇒ w = 2b

And, The total number of instruments = 150

⇒ w + b = 150

Hence, the equations that shows the given situation are,

w = 2 b,  b + w = 150

prohojiy [21]
20 percent of the discount minus 5 percent sales tax equals to 15 percent.
know calculate the 15 percentage out of 78,12 so x on 78,12 equals to 20 on 100 so 78,12 equals to 100 percent and x equals to 15 percent so 78,12 times 15 divided by 100 is 15 percent or the number you found discount and and sales tax combined know you substact 15 percent out of your original price.

I don't understand the substitution method?
liq [111]
It depends on what variable you are tying to solve for first. Say you are trying to solve for x first and then y on the first problem you wrote.

In substitution you solve one of the equations for example with
6x+2y=-10
2x+2y=-10
you solve 2x+2y=-10 for x

2x+2y=-10
-2y = -2y (what you do to one side of the = you do to the other)
2x=-10-2y (to get the variable by its self you divide the # and the variable)
/2=/2 (-10/2=-5 and -2y/2= -y or -1y, they are the same either way)
x=-5-y

now you put that in your original equation that you didn't solve for:
6(-5-y)+2y=-10 solve for that
-30-6y+2y=-10 combine like terms
-30-4y=-10 get the y alone and to do this you first get the -30 away from it
+30=+30
-4y=20 divide the -4 from each side
/-4=/-4 (20/-4=-5)
y=-5

now the equation you previously solved for x can be solved for y.
x=-5-y
x=-5-(-5) a minus parenthesis negative -(- gives you a positive
-5+5=0
x=0

and now we have solved the problem. x=0 and y=-5
