Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let N = how much Nellie spends

Let D = how much Debbie spends

Part A

Nellie spends $122 more than Debbie.

N= D +122

Their total expenses amount to $840.

N+D =840

The two equations are

N= D +122

N+D =840

Part B

We can substitute the first equation which is solved for N into the second equation.  Every place we see an N in the second equation, we replace it with D+122

Part C

N= D +122

N+D =840

(D+122) +D = 840

Combine like terms

2D +122 = 840

Subtract 122 from each side

2D+122-122=840-122

2D =718

Divide by 2

2D/2= 718/2

D =359

Debbie spends 359

Suppose you buy 4 buckets of apples and 5 buckets of peaches for $64. If you bought 8
Sophie [7]

Option D is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Let A represent the cost of one bucket of apple and P represent the cost of one bucket of peaches.

So we have ,

4 buckets of apples and 5 buckets of peaches for $64

8  buckets of apples and 3 buckets of peaches for $72

Writing this in the equation form we have,

4A + 5P = 64

8A + 3P = 72

Step 2:

Solving for the above 2 equations we can get the required costs

Equation 1 is

4A + 5P = 64 , Multiplying this by 2 we have 8A + 10P = 128

Equation 2  = 8A + 3P = 72

Subtracting both we have , 7p = 56 = > P = 8

Substituting this in equation 1 we have

8A + 80 = 128 => A = 6

Hence the cost of one bucket of apple is $6 and the cost of one bucket of apple is $8.

Option D is the correct answer.

How do I solve this equation?
Finger [1]
Think the 4 less than but not equal to as a equal sign
step 1. isolate the variable ( variable must stand alone)
step 2. subtract 12n -12n=0
step 3. since you subtract 12n from the left you must do the  same to the right.
step 4. 13n - 12n =1n
step 5. the equation should look like this -4 less than but not equal to 1n
step 6. isolate the variable n
step 6. divide 1n/1 on the right and on the left -4/1 it equals -4
so, n is -4

Write an absolute value equation that has the solutions 2 = 8 and x = 18.
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

Absolute value equation: |x - 13| = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint between 8 and 18 is;

(8 + 18)/2 = 26/2 = 13

This means that the distance between 13 and either 8 or 18 will be 5.

Now, the absolute value equation will have to say that the distance between x and 13 is 5.

Thus, plugging those numbers into the pattern of |x - m| = b. Where m is the midpoint and b is the distance from midpoint to either values of x.

This gives us the absolute value equation: |x - 13| = 5
