Two beach rental companies compared their sales from last weekend. Both companies rent out jet skis and kayaks, and they charge

the same prices. Will's Watersports made a total of $780 from renting 12 jet skis and 9 kayaks. Family Fun Rentals made a total of $570 from renting 7 jet skis and 11 kayaks. What is the cost of each type of rental?

Answer:

To rent a jet ski you need to pay $50 and to rent a kayak you need to pay $20

Step-by-step explanation:

Since both shops charge the same amount for each kind of vehicle, we will assign variables to the their cost. The cost of a jet ski will be "x" and the cost of the kayak will be "y". Therefore we can create a system of equations as shown below:

Will's shop:

12*x + 9*y = 780

Fun Rentals:

7*x + 11*y = 570

\left \{ {{12x+ 9y=780} \atop {7x + 11y =570}} \right.\\

We can isolate "x" on the second equation, we have:

x = \frac{570 - 11y}{7}

Applying this value on the first equation:

12[\frac{570 - 11y}{7}] + 9y = 780\\\frac{6840 - 132y}{7} + 9y = 780\\\frac{6840 - 132y + 63y}{7} = 780\\ 6840 - 132y + 63y = 5460\\6840 - 69y = 5460\\69y = 1380\\y = 20

Applying the value of "y" we found on the "x" equation above, we have:x = \frac{570 - 11*20}{7}\\x = 50\\

Therefore to rent a jet ski you need to pay $50 and to rent a kayak you need to pay $20

1) 2 (x+3) +3 (5-x)=
Ugo [173]

Answer:

Below

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 2 (x+3) +3 (5-x)=

Simplifying

2(x + 3) + 3(5 + -1x) = 0

Reorder the terms:

2(3 + x) + 3(5 + -1x) = 0

(3 * 2 + x * 2) + 3(5 + -1x) = 0

(6 + 2x) + 3(5 + -1x) = 0

6 + 2x + (5 * 3 + -1x * 3) = 0

6 + 2x + (15 + -3x) = 0

Reorder the terms:

6 + 15 + 2x + -3x = 0

Combine like terms: 6 + 15 = 21

21 + 2x + -3x = 0

Combine like terms: 2x + -3x = -1x

21 + -1x = 0

Solving

21 + -1x = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-21' to each side of the equation.

21 + -21 + -1x = 0 + -21

Combine like terms: 21 + -21 = 0

0 + -1x = 0 + -21

-1x = 0 + -21

Combine like terms: 0 + -21 = -21

-1x = -21

Divide each side by '-1'.

x = 21

Simplifying

x = 21

2.  3 (y+2) -4y=-24y

Simplifying

3(y + 2) + -4y = -24y

Reorder the terms:

3(2 + y) + -4y = -24y

(2 * 3 + y * 3) + -4y = -24y

(6 + 3y) + -4y = -24y

Combine like terms: 3y + -4y = -1y

6 + -1y = -24y

Solving

6 + -1y = -24y

Solving for variable 'y'.

Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '24y' to each side of the equation.

6 + -1y + 24y = -24y + 24y

Combine like terms: -1y + 24y = 23y

6 + 23y = -24y + 24y

Combine like terms: -24y + 24y = 0

6 + 23y = 0

Add '-6' to each side of the equation.

6 + -6 + 23y = 0 + -6

Combine like terms: 6 + -6 = 0

0 + 23y = 0 + -6

23y = 0 + -6

Combine like terms: 0 + -6 = -6

23y = -6

Divide each side by '23'.

y = -0.2608695652

Simplifying

y = -0.2608695652

3.  -(x+2) -2(1-x)=

Simplifying

-1(x + 2) + -2(1 + -1x) = 0

Reorder the terms:

-1(2 + x) + -2(1 + -1x) = 0

(2 * -1 + x * -1) + -2(1 + -1x) = 0

(-2 + -1x) + -2(1 + -1x) = 0

-2 + -1x + (1 * -2 + -1x * -2) = 0

-2 + -1x + (-2 + 2x) = 0

Reorder the terms:

-2 + -2 + -1x + 2x = 0

Combine like terms: -2 + -2 = -4

-4 + -1x + 2x = 0

Combine like terms: -1x + 2x = 1x

-4 + 1x = 0

Solving

-4 + 1x = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '4' to each side of the equation.

-4 + 4 + 1x = 0 + 4

Combine like terms: -4 + 4 = 0

0 + 1x = 0 + 4

1x = 0 + 4

Combine like terms: 0 + 4 = 4

1x = 4

Divide each side by '1'.

x = 4

Simplifying

x = 4
