Yep, the answer is 1,000,000. To explain the process of how the answer is figured out, the 9 next to the 9 in the hundred thousand's place tells us that we need to round up. So, we'd be rounding up to 1,000,000. Hope this helped you understand it :)
Answer:
35 pounds of tea for 80 cents.
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation::
value + value = value
80x + 60(50-x) = 74*50
80x + 60*50 - 60x = 74*50
20x = 14*50
x = 35 lbs (amt. of 80 cent tea to use)
50-x = 15 lbs (amt. of 60 cent tean to use)
40.25 is 40 1/4 as a decimal
Okay, so since both y values share the same number, let's add both equations so the y values cancel out leaving us to solve for x.
10x+(-5x)=5x
7y+(-7y)=0
1+24=25
Now we have 5x=25
divide both sides by 5 and we have x=5
Now that we know x=5, we can plug it into one of the problems to find y.
Let's do 10(5) +7y=1
50+7y=1 subtract 5 and we get 7y=-49
divide -7 from both sides and we get y=-7
so there you have it x=5 and y=-7
