What is the justification for step 2 in the solution process?

Mathematics
1 answer:
igomit [66]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

y = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for y

12y - 40 - 4y = 6y - 18

8y -40 = 6y - 18

8y - 6y - 40 = -18

2y - 40 = -18 ( the justification for step 2 is to isolate y on one side of the                   equation in order to solve for y )

2y - 40 + 40 = 40 - 18

2y = 22

2y/2 = 22/2

y = 11

Check :

12(11) - 40 - 4(11) = 6 (11) - 18

132 - 40 - 44 = 66 - 18

48= 48

Mariano delivers newspapers. He always puts 3/4 of his weekly earnings in his savings account and then divides the rest equally
lesya [120]

Answer:

a. Fraction of earnings that Mariano put into each piggy bank  is 1/12

b. Mariano earns $28.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Mariano divides his earning in a saving account and 3 piggy banks.  

First ,  we have to know the fraction that we divide in the 3 piggy banks.

Piggy banks =Total earning-Saving account

Saving account 3/4,  

Total earning is 1

to rest both term we have to get the same denominator , so we can say that the total earning is 4/4

Piggy banks =4/4-3/4=( 4-3)/4=1/4

Piggy banks =1/4

Each piggy bank will be 1/3 of that 1/4

1/3 x 1/4=

For fraction multiplication, multiply the numerators and then multiply the denominators to get

1×1/3×4=1/12

This fraction cannot be reduced.

b. Mariano adds $2.40

1/12 is 2.40

total earning  is ?

We use cross-multiplication

a/b=c/d  replacing   (1/12)/2.40 = 1/ ?

So,  the total earning (?) is 1 x 2.40/ (1/12)

= 2.40 x 12=$28.8
