33. 12*3=36 the u add 6 so it becomes 42. 3^2 is 9 so if u subtract 9 from 42 it becomes 33.
Let
x-------> total peanuts originally from the bag
we know that
1) Phillip took 1/3 of the peanuts from the bag--------> (1/3)*x
remaining=x-(1/3)*x-------> (2/3)*x
2) Joy took 1/4 of the remaining peanuts-------> (1/4)*[(2/3)*x]----> (1/6)*x
remaining= (2/3)*x-(1/6)*x------> (1/2)*x
3) Brett took 1/2 of the remaining peanuts------> (1/2)*(1/2)*x-----> (1/4)*x
remaining= (1/2)*x-(1/4)*x-------> (1/4)*x
4) Preston took 10 peanuts------> 10
(1/4)*x-10=71----> multiply by 4 both sides----> x-40=284----> x=324 peanuts
5) Total originally peanuts from the bag is equal to 324 peanuts
6) Phillip took (1/3)*x-----> (1/3)*324=108 peanuts
7) Joy took (1/6)*x------> (1/6)*324=54 peanuts
8) Brett took (1/4)*x------> (1/4)*324=81 peanuts
9) Preston took 10
so
check
108+54+81+10=253
remaining=324-253------> remaining=71-------> is correct
I think its 4910.00 you can't make a whole number a decimal.
5x + 6 = 1
Subtract 6 from both sides.
5x = -5
Divide from both sides.
x = -1 (ANSWER)
hope this helps!!
Answer: An adult’s ticket costs $9 while a children’s ticket costs $5.
Step-by-step explanation:
1). 2x + 3y = 33
2). 5x + 2y = 55
3). I’m going to use substitution.
Isolate a variable (x):
2x + 3y = 33
2x = -3y + 33
X = (-3y + 33)/2
X = -3/2y + 33/2
Substitute and solve for y:
5x + 2y = 55
5(-3/2y + 33/2) + 2y = 55
-15/2y + 165/2 + 2y = 55
-11/2y = -55/2
Y = 5 <— children’s ticket.
Solve for x:
2x + 3y = 33
2x + 3(5) = 33
2x + 15 = 33
2x = 18
X = 9 <— adult’s ticket.
Check:
5x + 2y = 55
5(9) + 2(5) = 55
45 + 10 = 55
55 = 55
2x + 3y = 33
2(9) + 3(5) = 33
18 + 15 = 33
33 = 33
