Answer:Well, I don't know what you got so I can't tell you if it is right.
If it works in both equations, it depends of whether your equations are set up correctly.
Here is how I would do this problem.
Let x = no. of hot dogs,y = number of sodas.
First equation is just about the number of things.
x + y = 15
Second equation is about the cost of things.
1.5 x + .75 y = 18
solve x+y = 15 for y y = 15-x substitute into second equation
1.5x + .75(15 - x) = 18
You should get the correct answer for number of hot dogs if you solve this correctly. Put your answer in the x + y =15 equation to get y. Then put both x and y into the cost equation and check your answer.
Hope this helps.
Step-by-step explanation:
If you are just simplifying it it would be 6x because it's 5x plus one more x but if you are trying to find x then I have no idea
Answer:
1 1/4 yards of fabric
Step-by-step explanation:
2 1/2+ 1 3/4=4 1/4
4 1/4 - 3 = 1 1/4
Answer:
<h3>(x - 0.15x) and x(1.00 - 0.15)</h3>
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the original price of a lawn mower,
If the hardware store is having a 15% off sale on lawn mowers this weekend, the amount discounted is expressed as;
= 15 % of x
= 0.15 of x
= 0.15x
Final sales price = Original price - discounted price;
Final sales price = x - 0.15x
Factor out x;
x - 0.15x = x(1 - 0.15)
Hence the correct equations are (x - 0.15x) and x(1.00 - 0.15)
