If we assume that
x isthe number of multiple choice questions, and y is the number of word problems, we can write a system of equations like:
{ x + y = 38
{ 2x + 5y = 100
If we multiply the first equation by -2 we get:
{ -2x-2y = -76
{ 2x + 5y = 100
Now if we add both equations we get only equation with 1 unknown (y) :
3y = 24 ⇒ y = 8
Substituting the calculated value to the first equation we get:
x + 8 = 38 ⇒ x = 30
The solution:
{ x = 30
{ y = 8
means that:
The test had 30 multiple choice questions, and 8 word problems.
Add 4x over to 14x, 3=5x2- 18x then add 18x to the other side 3+ 18x= 5x2then divided each side by 5,( 3+18x/5=x2) then square root each side the answer to x would be the square root of 3+18x/5
Answer:
16 oz, 12 oz, 4 oz
Step-by-step explanation:
Since 1 pound is equal to 16 ounces, and you can only use each weight once or not at all, you can determine how much is needed by simply adding.
2 pounds is equal to 32 ounces.
To achieve 32 ounces, you can use a 16 ounce weight, which will then bring the scale to need 16 ounces.
After this you can youse a 12 ounce weight, which brings it down to 4 ounces.
The last weight needed is the 4 ounce weight which will then level out the balance scale.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
so confused right now
If x is the amount that Tanya paid for each item, then Tony's items would be x-2.25. So:
3x=4(x-2.25)
3x=4x-9
x=9
x-2.25=6.75
Tanya spent $9 on each item; Tony spent $6.75 on each of his items
