Answer:-4
Step-by-step explanation:
72- 36 would equal 36. You subtract 36 to isolate the -9X
-9X= 36
Divide by -9 to get x by itself. You will get -4.
Answer:
-8/3
Step-by-step explanation:
7=3(5+X) = 3(5=X)=7 3(5+x) divided by 3 is 7/3 5+x=7/3 5+x-5=7/3 -5 so x=-8/3
Answer:
<u>The number of pens = 120 and the number of pencils = 200</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of pens x, and the number of pencils is y
the cost of one pen $1, and the cost of one pencil $0.5
The cost of the whole purchase was $220
1 * x + 0.5 * y = 220
x + 0.5 y = 220 ⇒ eq.(1)
there were 80 more pencils than pens
y - x = 80 ⇒ eq.(2)
from eq.(2) x = y - 80
By substitution with x from the last equation at eq.(1)
∴ (y - 80) + 0.5 y = 220
1.5y = 220 + 80 = 300
y = 300/1.5 = 200
x = y - 80 = 200 - 80 = 120
<u>So, the number of pens = 120 and the number of pencils = 200</u>
1 is not even yet it is a factor of 8. Alice is wrong.
Answer:
5
