Let m and s be the number of math and sociology books sold respectively.
m=s+88 we are also told that:
m+s=426, using m found above in this equation gives you:
s+88+s=426 combine like terms on left side
2s+88=426 subtract 88 from both sides
2s=338 divide both sides by 2
s=169, since m=s+88
m=169+88=257
So 257 math and 169 sociology textbooks were sold.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's take cost of 1 hamburger as h and the cost of 1 hot dog as d.
Therefore, we can form the equations:
3h + 2d = 13 and
2h + 4d = 14
2(h +2d) = 14
h + 2d = 7
h = 7 - 2d
By substituting this to the first equation, we get:
3(7 - 2d) + 2d = 13
21 - 4d = 13
4d = 8
d = $2
h = 7 - 2(2)
h = $3
Hence <u>1 hot dog costs $2</u> and <u>1 hamburger costs $3</u>
Let's turn this sentence into an equation:
8n = -n + 36
Then solve:
9n = 36 => n=4
Answer:
1/625
Explanation:
In case of multiplication of numbers with same base, we add the powers.
This means that:
a^x * a^y = a^(x+y)
Applying this to the given, we will find that:
(5^-1) * (5^-3) = 5^(-1-3)
= 5^-4
= 1/625
Hope this helps :)
