Answer:
16cats and 19 birds
Step-by-step explanation:
if we say that x is birds and y is cats we can say that:
4.5x+8.5y=221.5 ( the amount birds and cat both need)
y+x =35 (number of cats and cats)
x=35-y
4.5(35-y) +8.5y= 221.5
157.5-4.5y +8.5y =221.5
4y=64
y= 16
16+x=35
x=19
Y = 12x - 5x - 2
first simplify the equation by subtracting like terms (in this case):
12x - 5x = 7x
y = 7x - 2
Since you are finding the x, you must isolate the x. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.(Note: because there is a equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other)
y = 7x - 2
y (+2) = 7x - 2 (+2)
y + 2 = 7x
(y + 2)/7 = 7x/7
x = (y + 2)/7
x = (y + 2)/7 is your answer
hope this helps
Answer:
45.1
Step-by-step explanation:
The original amount is 82
But the wrong amount is 45
So we will have to calculate the percentage for the error
82-45
37
So %error= 37/82 ×100
=3700/82
=45.121~45.1( to nearest tenth)
So the final answer is 45.1%
Given the expression
-2 + 6.45z - 6 + (-3.25z)
First, classify like terms, constant with constant, coefficient-variable with coefficient-variable
-2 + 6.45z - 6 + (-3.25z)
= 6.45z + (-3.25z) - 2 - 6
Second, combining like terms
= 6.45z + (-3.25z) - 2 - 6
= 6.45z - 3.25z - 8
= 3.20z - 8
The simplest form is 3.20 - 8
Let:
x = cost of senior citizen ticket
y = cost of student ticket
4x + 5y = 102
7x + 5y = 126
4x + 5y = 102
4x = 102 - 5y
x = (102 - 5y)/4
x = 102/4 - 5y/4
7x + 5y = 126
7(102/4 - 5y/4) + 5y = 126
(714/4 - 35y/4) + 5y = 126
-35y/4 + 5y = 126 - 714/4
note:
-35y/4 = -8.75y
714/4 = 178.5
-8.75y + 5y = 126 - 178.5
-3.75y = -52.5
y = -52.5/-3.75
y = 14
x = 102/4 - 5y/4
x = 102/4 - 5(14)/4
x = 8
x = cost of senior citizen ticket = $8/ea
y = cost of student ticket = $14/ea
