The first answer, using a number line, is a good answer.

I have two other ways:

Way #1:

5 stones is more than 3 stones.
5 gallons is greater than 3 gallons.
5 pounds is greater than 3 pounds.
5 puppies is greater than 3 puppies.
5 hamburgers is greater than 2 hamburgers.
5 schoolbuses is greater than 3 schoolbuses.

We look around us, and we see that 5 of anything
is always greater than 3 of the same thing.

There's no reason that should change if the 'things' are eighths.


Way #2:

-- Get 2 friends to help you.

-- Take one good-size veggie pizza or coconut cream pie.

-- Carefully cut it up in eight (8) equal pieces.
   Now each piece is 1/8 of the pie or the pizza.

-- Give 5 pieces (5/8) to the first friend.
   Give 3 pieces (3/8) to the other friend.

-- Ask them to get together and agree on who has more.

What is the value of x when 2x+3=3x-4
slavikrds [6]
2x+3=3x-4
try to isolate the x term
you must do the same thing to both sides or else it won't be equal anymore

2x+3=3x-4
add 4 to both sides
2x+3+4=3x+4-4
2x+7=3x+0
subtract 2x from both sides
2x-2x+7=3x-2x
0+7=x
7=x

the answer is x=7

An advertising company charges $60 per half-page advertisement and $100 per full-page advertisement. Michael has a budget of $13
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

The number of half-page advertisements is 4.

The number of Full-page advertisements is 11.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Question,

  • Given, An advertising company charges $60 per half-page advertisement and $100 per full-page advertisement. Michael has a budget of $1340 to purchase 15 advertisements.

Let, 'x' be the number of half-page advertisements and 'y' be the number of full-page advertisements.

  • Thus, 60x + 100y is the money charged, and given that he has a budget of $ 1340.

       60x + 100y = 1340

  • And, the number of advertisements is 15. So, the other equation is

       x + y = 15

Now, We have Two Equations,

60x + 100y = 1340 and x + y = 15

  • the solution of the system is Put x=(15-y) in Equation 60x + 100y = 1340

60 (15-y) + 100y = 1340

900 - 60y + 100y = 1340

40y = 1340 - 900

40y = 440

y = 440/40

y = 11 So, For x = 15 - y ⇒ 15-11 ⇒ x=4 .

  • Thus, the number of half-page advertisements is 4 and The number of Full-page advertisements is 11 .
