Jalen has total 63 comic books.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total value of comic books = $3135

Let,

Number of $45 comic books = x

Number of $65 comic books = y

According to given statement;

45x+65y=3135 Eqn 1

x=y+33 Eqn 2

Putting value of x from Eqn 2 in Eqn 1

$45(y+33)+65y=3135\\45y+1485+65y=3135\\110y=3135-1485\\110y=1650\\$

Dividing both sides by 110

$\frac{110y}{110}=\frac{1650}{110}\\y=15$

Putting y=15 in Eqn 2

$x=15+33\\x=48$

Total comic books = x+y

Total comic books = 48+15 = 63

Jalen has total 63 comic books.

alexgriva [62]

Answer: 3(x minus 5.50) = 111.75; the monthly Internet service is $42.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Total amount spent on internet for 3 months = $111.75

Monthly credit received on bill = $5.50

Monthly Credit of $5.50 means $5.50 is deducted from the amount being paid on thir bill monthly.

Assume their monthly internet service fee = x

The amount paid before the credit deduction each month:

Amount paid - credit

(x - $5.50)

For 3 months :

3 × (x - $5.50) = $117.75

3(x - $5.50) = $117.75

Monthly fee paid before credit deduction:

3(x - $5.50) = $117.75

3x - $16.50 = $117.75

3x = $117.75 + $16.50

3x = $128.25

x = $128.25 / 3

x = $42.75

Solve |2x + 1| = 10<br> {9/2, 11/2}<br> {-9/2, 9/2}<br> {-11/2, 9/2}

prisoha [69]

The answer is -11/2, 9/2

Explanation

You have to rewrite the absolute value equation as two separate equations.
2x+1=10
2x+1=-10

Then you solve for X in each equation.
2x+1=10 would give you 9/2

2x+1=-10 would give you -11/2

So your final solutions would be x1= -11/2 x2= 9/2
