Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
- Let (applicable to all three lines below)
- Hard candy = x kg with price $1.60/kg
- Gummy worms = y kg with price $2.20/kg
- Total weight = 50 kg with mixed price $1.75/kg
<u>Required equations:</u>
- x + y = 50 total weight
- 1.60x + 2.20y = 50*1.75 total price
=========================================
<u><em>Note</em></u><em>. It says don't solve but the solution below for those who is interested to know the answer.</em>
<u>Simplify the second equation and solve by substitution x = 50 - y:</u>
- 1.6(50 - y) + 2.2y = 87.5
- 80 - 1.6y +2.2y = 87.5
- 0.6y = 7.5
- y = 7.5/0.6
- y = 12.5
<u>Find the value of x:</u>
<u>Hard candy</u> = 37.5 kg and <u>gummy worms</u> = 12.5 kg
Answer:
475
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's call the dryer price is x
Then, the price for the washer is 53 more than the dryer, it would be: x+53
Total price of washer and dryer = 1003
We get the equation:
x+(x+53) = 1003
2x + 53 = 1003
2x + 53 - 53 = 1003 - 53
2x = 950
x = 475
The dryer price is 475
Extra: you can find the cost of the washer by using x+53 = 475+53 = 528
Answer:
Equal to
Step-by-step explanation:
I hope this helped
3 thousandths: 0.003
2 hundreths: 0.02
0.003+0.02= 0.023
Solve for x by simplifying both sides of the equation, then isolating the variable.
x = 15
Answer:
x = -12.5
Step-by-step explanation:
your goal is to get x alone so
-2x - 10 = 15
(add ten to both sides)
-2x = 25
(divide -2 to both sides)
x = -12.5
remember that whatever u do to one side of the equation, you have to do to the other so they even out!
