Answer:

$40

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total bill be "x"

Now,

Anna paid 40% (40/100 = 0.4) of the bill, that means

Cassie paid 100 - 40 = 60% of the bill, that is 60/100 = 0.6

Anna paid 0.4x & Cassie paid 0.6x

Cassie's amount is 8 dollar more, so we can write:

0.6x - 8 = 0.4x

Now, we solve for x:

0.6x - 0.4x = 8

0.2x = 8

x = 8/0.2

x = 40

THe total bill is $40

The answer is a = $\frac{4}{-3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Convert the mixed fraction to an improper fraction

To find the numerator, multiply the denominator by the whole number and add the numerator to it.

The denominator remains the same.

So, 2 $\frac{2}{3}$ will be $\frac{8}{3}$

2. Now the equation is,

$\frac{3}{2}$ a - $\frac{4}{3}$ a = $\frac{10}{3}$ + $\frac{8}{3}$ a

3. Take LCM on both sides.

For the left side, multiply the first fraction by $\frac{3}{3}$ and multiply the second fraction by $\frac{2}{2}$

$\frac{3*3}{2*3}$ a - $\frac{4*3}{3*3}$ a = $\frac{10+8a}{3}$

4. Solve by making a the subject

$\frac{9a-8a}{6}$ = $\frac{10+8a}{3}$

$\frac{a}{6}$ = $\frac{10+8a}{3}$

$\frac{3a}{6}$ =10+8a

$\frac{a}{2}$ = 10 + 8a

a = 2(10 + 8a)

a = 20 + 16a

a-16a = 20

-15a = 20

a = $\frac{20}{-15}$

a = $\frac{4}{-3}$

Therefore, the answer is a = $\frac{4}{-3}$

TEA [102]

Answer:

w = -7z/2

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve for w in terms of z.

The equation given is:

5w + 9z = 2z + 3w

Collect like terms:

5w - 3w = 2z - 9z

2w = -7z

w = -7z/2
