Step-by-step explanation:
3/4x + 5/8 = 4x/1
5/8 = 4x/1 - 3/4x
5/8 = 16x^2 - 3/4x
5/8 = 4x - 3/1
5/8 = 4x - 3
Cross multiply
8(4x - 3) = 5
32x - 24 = 5
32x = 5 + 24
32x = 29
X = 29/32
A two digit number has a tens digit and a ones digit.
Let's say x = tens digit and y = ones digit
"The sum of the digits is 5"
x + y = 5
The next phrase is "the number multiplied by 3 is 42" but we need to represent the number using the digits. So they need to be multiplied first by their place value and added together. [Example: 34 = 3(10) + 4(1)]
The number is: 10x + y
3(10x + y) = 42
The system of equations: (two equations for two unknowns)
x + y = 5
30x + 3y = 42
Then you can use substitution or elimination to combine and solve.
I'll use elimination, multiply the entire top equation by -3 and add the equations together. y will cancel out
-3x - 3y = -15
30x + 3y = 42
------------------
27x + 0 = 27
x = 1
then plug x = 1 into either equation to find y
1 + y = 5
y = 4
remember the x and y represent digits so the number xy is 14
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
lets have one side =a
P=3a+a+(17+a)=52
P=5a+17=52
5a=52-17
5a=35
a=7
second side=21
third side=24
Because there is no cost for the sweatshirts, there is no way to solve this for the amount of sweatshirts needed. However, the amount of money each student needs to make off of them is $95.
