Let the cost of one book= x cents
Let the money john have= y cents
According to the question,
45x=y ...eq(1)
(45+5)(x-5)=y
50(x-5)=y
50x-250=y ...eq(2)
On subtracting (1) from (2).
(50x-250)-45x=y-y
5x-250=0
x=250/5
x=50
Thus, cost of each book is 50 cents and john has 2250 cents.
Hope it helps.
Don't feel shy in saying thx if it helps.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: 4
Step-by-step explanation: To have an equation with no solution you have to get something like 0=1 meaning you have to remove all the variables. In this equation you would distribute to get xy+2y+2x=2x+12+4x where y is the missing number. then combining like terms you get xy+2x+2y=6x+12. Subtracting 2x from both sides you get xy+2y=4x+12. Now to get the variables gone y has to be 4 so that the variables to cancel out. By plugging in 4 you can see this works; 4x+8=4x+12 and by subtracting 4x from both sides you get 8=12 which is not true meaning there is no solution.
