Answer:

The total weight of his purchase is 1.08 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total weight of his purchase, we sum the weight of each of his purchases.

He purchased:

4/9 pound of peanut.

7/11 pounds of raisins

Total:

The least common multiple between 9 and 11 is 99.

Then

\frac{4}{9} + \frac{7}{11} = \frac{11*4 + 9*7}{99} = \frac{107}{99} = 1.08

The total weight of his purchase is 1.08 pounds

A shopper purchased 4 tables and 2 chairs for $200 and 2 tables and 7 chairs for $400. What is the cost of each table and each c
I am Lyosha [343]
4t+2c=200
2t+7c=400

I will solve for c in terms of t first
4t+2c=200
2c=200-4t
c=100-2t

Then I will substitute this in for c in the second equation to make it single variable
2t+7c=400
2t+7(100-2t)=400
2t+700-14t=400
300t=12
t=25 
Tables cost $25 each

Plug t back into one of the ORIGINAL equations to find the cost of chairs
4(25)+2c=200
100+2c=200
2c=100
c=50
Chairs cost $50 each

Hope this helps! :)

-4(a+3)+8-3(2a-8)=30
USPshnik [31]
If you’re solving for a... subtract the 8 to the other side so...
-4(a+3)- 3(2a-8) = 22.
Distribute the -4 and -3 into the parentheses (two negatives multiplied together is a positive)...
-4a-12-6a+24 = 22.
Add the constants and a’s together.
-10a + 12 = 22
Subtract 12 to the other side.
-10a = 10
Divide both sides by -10.
a = -1
Check and make sure that this answer works with the problem.
-4(-1+3)-3(-2-8)=22
-4(-2)-3(-10)=22.
-8+30=22.
22=22, the answer checks out
