Number of items sold by Shelley = 3 items.

Let us assume cost of each item sold by Shelley = $ x each.

Total cost of 3 items for Shelly sold = 3*x = 3x.

Number of items sold by Billy Bob = 4 items.

The cost of each item sold by Billy Bob = $2.25 less than the items that Shelley bought = $(x-2.25) each.

Total cost of 4 items for Billy Bob sold = 4*(x-2.25) = 4(x-2.25).

Both Shelley and Billy Bob paid the same amount of money. So, we can setup an equation now.

a) Total cost of 4 items for Billy Bob sold=Total cost of 3 items for Shelly sold.

4(x-2.25) = 3x

b) Solving equation for x now.

Distributing 4 over (x-2.25), we get

4x - 4*2.25 = 3x.

4x -9 = 3x.

Adding 9 on both sides, we get

4x -9+9 = 3x+9

4x =3x+9.

Subtracting 3x from both sides, we get

4x-3x =3x-3x+9.

x = 9.

c) Checking the solution of the equation by plugging x=9 in equation we got above.

4(x-2.25) = 3x  => 4(9-2.25)= 3*9

               => 4*6.75 = 27

               => 27 = 27.

We got left side = right side. So the solution x=9 is correct.

d) The cost of each item sold by Billy Bob = 9-2.25 = $6.75

Therefore, the cost of each item sold by Shelley is $9 and cost of each item sold by Billy Bob is $6.75.

anne buys used cars at auction for 2000 per car. there is 150 fee to take part in the auction. If anne buys 13 used cars how muc
katrin [286]
How to understand the problem is like this:
   Total Cost = Entrance Fee + Total Car cost
So we know that the Entrance Fee is $150...
   Total Cost = $150 + Total Car cost
So we know that Anne bought 13 cars, each at $2,000...
   Total Cost = $150 + ($2,000 x 13)
We multiply because each car is $2,000 and Anne bought 13 of them.
So it works out like this:
   Total Cost = $150 + ($2,000 x 13)
   Total Cost = $150 + (26000)
   Total Cost = $26150

2x-7y=12 for y answer please​
Marat540 [252]

Answer: If you want mx + b= y form and you want the y intercept, then the answer would be 2x/7 - 12/7 = y. The y intercept is b, so it is 12/7.

Step-by-step explanation: 2x - 7y = 12

Move -7y to the other side: 2x= 12 + 7y

Subtract 12 to the left side: 2x - 12 = 7y

Then divide 7 into everything: 2x/7 - 12/7 = 7y/7

The 7s in the right side cancel out, so the equation is now: 2x/7 - 12/7 = y

The y intercept is b, which is the second term in the equation, so the

Y Equals : 12/7

I hope this is what you are looking for!
