Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
(5,354 + x)
or
536.4*x
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that x = 10.
Now we want to write an expression (in terms of x) for the number 5,364.
This could be really trivial, remember that x = 10.
Then: (x - 10) = 0
And if we add zero to a number, the result is the same number, then if we add this to 5,364 the number does not change.
5,364 = 5,364 + (x - 10) = 5,364 + x - 10
5,364 = 5,354 + x
So (5,354 + x) is a expression for the number 5,364 in terms of x.
Of course, this is a really simple example, we could do a more complex case if we know that:
x/10 = 1
And the product between any real number and 1 is the same number.
Then:
(5,364)*(x/10) = 5,364
(5,364/10)*x = 5,364
536.4*x = 5,364
So we just found another expression for the number 5,364 in terms of x.
Call the notebooks x, and the pencils y.
<span>3x + 4y = $8.50 and 5x + 8y = $14.50 </span>
<span>Then just solve as simultaneous equations: </span>
<span>3x + 4y = $8.50 </span>
<span>5x + 8y = $14.50 </span>
<span>5(3x + 4y = 8.5) </span>
<span>3(5x + 8y = 14.5) </span>
<span>15x + 20y = 42.5 </span>
<span>15x + 24y = 43.5 </span>
<span>Think: DASS (Different Add, Similar Subtract). 15x appears in both equations so subtract one equation from the other. Eassier to subtract (15x + 20y = 42.5) from (15x + 24y = 43.5) </span>
<span>(15x + 24y = 43.5) - (15x + 20y = 42.5) = (4y = 1) which means y = 0.25. </span>
<span>Then substitue into equation : </span>
<span>15x + 20y = 42.5 </span>
<span>15x + 5 + 42.5 </span>
<span>15x = 42.5 - 5 = 37.5 </span>
<span>15x = 37.5 </span>
<span>x = 2.5 </span>
<span>15x + 24y = 43.5 </span>
<span>15(2.5) + 24(0.25) </span>
<span>37.5 + 6 = 43.5 </span>
<span>So x (notebooks) are 2.5 ($2.50) each and y (pencils) are 0.25 ($0.25) each.</span>
<span>Multiplication with fractions is similar to multiplication with whole numbers in that you are often finding the product of groups of items. They are different in that you can multiply with fractions to find parts of an amount.</span>
