Jan buys 3 bags of beads. Each bag contains 7 beads. Draw a bar diagram and write an addition equation and a multiplication equa
tion to show how many beads Jan buys. How are the equation related?
1 answer:
Answer:
- The diagram bar is attached.
- Addition equation:
- Multiplication equation:
- How are the equation related? Each equation shows 3 groups of 7.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that Jan buys 3 bags of beads and each bag contains 7 beads, then, you can draw the bar diagram shown attached.
Observe that the diagram has 3 blocks (each block represents a bag of bead) and there is a number 7 inside of each block (which is the number of beads contained in a bag).
Therefore:
- Add the numbers inside the blocks in order to get the addition equation that shows the number of beads Jan buys. This is:
- Multiply 3 blocks by 7 in order to get multiplication equation that show the number of beads Jan buys:
The equations are related. Each one shows 3 groups of 7.

Answer:
2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's define z = x-y, so solving for z will tell us exactly what we want to know. Then we can substitute for x: x = z+y, and our equations become ...
7(z+y)+3y = 8 ⇒ 7z +10y = 8
6(z+y)-3y = 5 ⇒ 6z +3y = 5
We can eliminate the y-variable by subtracting 3 times the first equation from 10 times the second:
10(6z +3y) -3(7z +10y) = 10(5) -3(8)
60z +30y -21z -30y = 50 -24 . . . . eliminate parentheses
39z = 26 . . . . collect terms
z = 26/39 = 2/3 . . . . . divide by the coefficient of z and reduce
The value of x - y is 2/3.
_____
The attached graph shows (x, y) = (1, 1/3), so x - y = 1 - 1/3 = 2/3.
