Answer:

$11

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Ben has b,

sean has s

alexis has a

samantha has s

Money.

We need to write the words into equations and solve as we can.

b + s + a + s = 47

b + s = 27

b + a = 25

b + s = 23

We need to find a.

Let's put 2nd equation in first, to get:

27 + a + s = 47

a + s = 20 ---------- 5th equation

Now let's solve 4th equation for b and put it into 3rd equation:

b + s = 23

b = 23 - s

Putting in 3rd equation:

23 - s + a = 25

a - s = 2 ---------------6th equation

Now, add up 5th and 6th equation to get a:

a + s = 20

a - s = 2

-------------

2a = 22

a = 22/2 = 11

Alexis got $11

Tomas is making trail mix using granola and walnuts. He can spend a total of $12 on the ingredients. He buys 3 pounds of
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

The first error that Tomas made was added 6 to both sides of the equation instead of subtracting 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> represents the number of pounds of granola

y ----> represents the number of pounds of walnuts

we know that

The linear equation that represent this scenario is

2x+6y=12 -----> equation A

x=3 -----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A and solve for y

2(3)+6y=12

6+6y=12

Subtract 6 both sides

6+6y-6=12-6

6y=6

Divide by 6 both sides

6y/6=6/6

y=1

so

The number of pounds of walnuts is 1

therefore

The first error that Tomas made was added 6 to both sides of the equation instead of subtracting 6
