You buy 3 shirts and 1 pair of pants for $32. Your friend buys 2 shirts and 3 pairs of pants for $40. How much did each item cost?
First let’s define a shirt as X and pants as Y!
In the first scenario, the equation will be 3X + Y =$32
In the second scenario, the equation will be 2X + 3Y = $40
Now because we have two different variables (X & Y) let’s solve for one of them (Ex: Y) to simplify the equations!
3X + Y= $32—> subtract 3X on both sides of the equation
-3X. - 3X
Net result: Y= 32- 3X
Now we can insert this into the second equation 2X + 3Y = $40 in order to solve for X variable
2X + 3(32-3X) = $40
2X + 96 - 9X = $40 —> simplify the equation
-7X + 96 = $40 —> substrate 96 from both sides
-7X = -56 —> divide both sides by -7
X= 8
Now reinsert 8= X into 3X + Y = $32
3(8) + Y = $32
24+ Y = $32 —> substract 24 from both sides
y = 8
ANSWER: X= 8, Y= 8
If I am wrong I am sorry >_<
Answer: n = 3; n represents a remainder in a division problem.
Explanation:
1) Finding n:
i) Given: 643 = 4 × 160 + n
ii) Do the operations: 643 = 640 + n
iii) Subraction property of the equality: 643 - 640 = n
iv) Do the operations: 3 = n
Answer: n 3
2) Meaning of n
When you divide 643 by 4 the quotient is 160 and the remainder is 3, because 160 × 4 = 640, and 643 - 640 = 3.
This is, 3 is what is left when you split 643 into 4 getting 160 whole parts (plus the remainder, 3).
Step-by-step explanation:
-1 / 2 + x = -21 /4
x = -21/4 + 1/2
x = (-21 + 2)/4
x = -19/4
1 : 1.71 : 2.43
Step-by-step explanation:
What divided by 7= 1?
7/7 = 1
So use that answer for the other two dolls.
12/7 = 1.71
17/7 = 2.43
1 : 1.71 : 2.43
Have the same ratio as
7 : 12 : 17
