Step-by-step explanation:
15 percent of solution = 12 × 0.15 = 1.8 Gallons of bleach
12 - 1.8 = 10.2 Gallons of water
Multiplication is when you times two different numbers together where its negative or postive(you can multiple pretty much anything together)but combining like terms are number or letters thats the same. For instance, say if i have 4x+7-2x+3, i would combine each term that has something in common with it,like, 4x and 2x because both has X and i will combine 7 and 3 because those two are regular numbers and does not have an X like the others. I Hope That helps!
Answer: the cost of each bush is $15
the cost of each flower is $2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the cost of each bush.
Let y represent the cost of each flower.
Portia bought 12 bushes and 30 flowers for $240 to plant in her yard. This is expressed as
12x + 30y = 240- - - - - - - - - - -1
Later, she realized she did not have enough plants and bought 7 more bushes and 10 more flowers for $125. This is expressed as
7x + 10y = 125- - - - - - - - - - -2
Multiplying equation 1 by 7 and equation 2 by 12, it becomes
84x + 210y = 1680
84x + 120y = 1500
Subtracting, it becomes
90y = 180
y = 180/90
y = 2
Substituting y = 2 into equation 1, it becomes
12x + 30 × 2 = 240
12x + 60 = 240
12x = 240 - 60 = 180
x = 180/12
x = 15
Answer:
72÷6=12
so at the nursery it cost $12 per shrub
66÷6=11
so at the store it cost $11 per shrub
so if you buy 21 shrubs from the nursery it will cost: 12×21=$252
but if you buy 21 shrubs from the store it only cost: 11×21=$231
$252-$231=$21
