We are going to make simultaneous equations.
x will be our $3 ice cream and y will be our $5 ice cream
Equation1 ---- x + y = 50 (the sum of all the ice creams they sell)
Equation 2 ---- 3x + 5y = 180 Sum of all the $3 and $5 ice creams is $180
Since we can't solve for both variables we will put one of the variables in terms of the other.
Take x+y=50 and subtract y from both sides. (I could have done subtracted x - it did not matter). Now we have x= ₋ y +50 (negative y +50)
Now I am going to take equation 2 and replace the x with -y +50
3 (-y +50) + 5y = 180
Now I will use the distributive law on the 3 and what's in the parentheses:
-3y + 150 + 5y = 180
Now I will combine like terms (the -3y and the 5y)
2y + 150 = 180
Now subtract 150 from both sides of the equation
2y = 30
Divide both sides by 2
and get y= 15 They sold 15 ice creams that cost $5 each
Since equation 1 is x+y=50 we can replace y with 15
x + 15 = 50 Now subtract 15 from both sides x = 35
Since x represents the $3 ice creams, they sold 35 of those.
Check:
35 X 3 = $105
15 x 5 = + <u>75
</u> $180
Answer: x= 54

Answer:
The answer is below
Step-by-step explanation:
An equation shows the relationship between two or more variables. An equation is a statement that shows the equality between expressions. An equation with infinitely many solution is when all numbers are solutions, that is there is no one solution. Example is: x + 3 = x + 3.
When each side of an equation has been simplified, equations that have the same coefficients and the same constants on each side have infinitely many solutions
Sometimes it helps to put a number line in front of you. If one number is to the left of the other number on the number line, it's a lower number. If one number is to the right of the other number on the number line, it is greater.
-5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5
4 is a solution of x<-5
FALSE: 4 is not greater than -5
-3 is a solution of y>-2
FALSE: -3 is not greater than -2
y≤3 includes 3 as a possible solution
TRUE: 3 is less than OR EQUAL to 3
Hope this helps! :)
