16 / 5 = 48 / 12

16 * 12 = 5 * 48
192 = 240

which is incorrect  so 5 cannot be the solution of the equation.

substituting 4 for x  will give you 192=192

A store sells bread and milk. On Tuesday, 3 loaves of bread and 2 litres of milk were sold for €6.25. On Thursday
chubhunter [2.5K]

Equation is 4b + 5m = €10.90, and values of b and m are €1.35 and €1.1 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Find equation for Thursday's sales.

Given b = price of a loaf of bread and m = price of one liter of milk

Total sales = €10.90

Equation ⇒ 4b + 5m = €10.90

  • Step 2: Find the values of b and m.

3b + 2m = 6.25 ----- (1)

4b + 5m = 10.90 ---- (2)

Multiply eq(1) by 5 and eq(2) by 2 to make coefficients of m equal.

15b + 10m = 31.25

8b + 10m = 21.8

Subtract eq(2) from eq(1)

⇒ 7b = 9.45

⇒ b = 9.45/7 = €1.35

Substitute for b and find m using eq(1).

⇒ 3 × 1.35 + 2m = 6.25

⇒ 4.05 + 2m = 6.25

⇒ 2m = 2.2

∴∴ m = 2.2/2 = €1.1

PLEASEEEE ANSWERRR FASTTTT!!!!!!!!!!What is the equation of the line whose graph is shown?
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line passing through the origin is

y = mx ( m is the slope )

To find m use the slope formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (1, 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 1, - 1) ← 2 points on the line

m = \frac{-1-1}{-1-1} = \frac{-2}{-2} = 1

y = x ← is the equation of the line → A

Adult tickets to a basketball game cost $5. Student tickets cost $1. A total of $3,159 was collected on the sale of 1,339 ticket
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

  • 455 adult tickets
  • 884 student tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

Let "a" represent the number of adult tickets sold. Then 1339-a is the number of student tickets sold. The revenue collected was ...

  5a + 1(1339-a) = 3159

  4a = 1820 . . . . . . subtract 1339, collect terms

  a = 455 . . . . . . . . divide by 4; adult tickets sold

  (1339-a) = 884 . . . . student tickets sold

455 adult tickets and 884 student tickets were sold.
