I don't know what you have to do but I'm trying to do my first answer srry
Price of boots is represented as x, price of tennis shoes is represented as y.
x-y=44.38
x+y=196.12
Isolate x. (Or y, if you wanted to)
x=y+44.38
x=196.12-y
Set them equal to each other.
y+44.38=196.12-y
Solve for y. Then plug it in to either of the two original equations to find x.
x=120.24
y=75.86
Note: This is assuming that the boots are more expensive than the tennis shoes. If the tennis shoes are more expensive than the boots, then the prices would be switched. I didn't find this clear in your question.
7/5 = 14/10 = 28/20
Numerator = x
Denominator = x-4
Add 3 to both:
x +3 / (x-4+3)
x+3 = 14
(x-4 +3) = 10 = x-1 = 10
x = 11
Check:
11 -4 = 7 ( denominator is 4 less than the numerator.)
add 3 to both:
11+3 = 14
7+3 = 10
14/10 reduces to 7/5
The original fraction would be 11/7
Answer:
9 dimes and 6 nickles
Step-by-step explanation:
So the problem is
and you need to find x.
You can find x by taking fourth root of 256. The easiest way is to use your calculator. On my scientific calculator, it is 2nd then the button ^ that is
![\sqrt[x]{}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Csqrt%5Bx%5D%7B%7D%20)
You get the answer of 4.
