Write an equation system based on the problem
For an instance, e stands for the price of a carton of eggs, and b stands for the price of a loaf of bread
"Kate bought 3 cartons of eggs and 5 loaves of bread for $30.07" could be written as 3e + 5b = 30.07 (first equation)
"Melissa bought 2 cartons of eggs and 2 loaves of bread for $14.74" could be written as 2e + 2b = 14.74 (second equation)
Solve the equation system using elimination method
Eliminate b to find e. To eliminate b, we should equalize the coefficient of b.
3e + 5b = 30.07 (multiplied by 2)
2e + 2b = 14.74 (multiplied by 5)
-------------------------------------------
6e + 10b = 60.14
10e + 10b = 73.70
------------------------- - (substract)
-4e = -13.56
e = -13.56/-4
e = 3.39
The price for a carton of eggs is $3.39
Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
AC and BC are the same, so both equal 6
6+6 is 12
Subtract 12 from 20
20-12=8
CD is 8
The mathematical expression for x is is fewer than 9 is x< 9

To solve this expression, we need to follow the order of operations (BEDMAS)
50+0.5(41-32)
=50+0.5(9)
=50+4.5
=54.5
Your answer is 54.5
