He used 53 pounds. I got this by using two equations.
a+b=117
and
5.8a+4.1b= 569.8
I took the first equation and subtracted 'b' so the equation looked like a=117-b.
I then plugged in 117-b into the second equation, so it ended up looking like this:
5.8 (117-b)=569.8
5.8 times 117 is 678.6. And 5.8 times negative b is negative 5.8b.
The equation now looks like this:
678.6-5.8b+4.1b=569.8
Add like terms
678.6-1.7b=569.8
Then subtract 678.6 from both sides
-1.7b= -108.8
divide each side by -1.7
you get b= 64.
But because you are looking for how many pounds for a, subtract 64 from 117. You get 53. 53 is the answer.
Answer:
-10h+8
Step-by-step explanation:
First, let's open the brackets:
-6h-13+21-4h (two -'s make a +)
This is equal to -10h + 8
-2(5)^2+2(5)-3
-2(25)+10-3
-50+10-3
-40-3
=-43
43.7%

Difference = 115 - 87 = $0.38
Use 87 as the base because that's the price to start
38/87 = 0.43678</span>
The answer to you ? is = -3/4x
