Answer:

x+y = 26  

18500x+17,000y = 460,000

Step-by-step explanation:

number of cars is denoted by x

number of trucks is denoted by y

According to question

Total no. of cars and truck shipped = 26  _______________1

Total no of cars shipped in terms of x and y = x+y  _______2

since equation 1 and 2 are representing the same thing , equating them together we have

x+y = 26  first equation

list price of car = $18500

if there are x cars then total price of car = x*price of one car

= $18500*x = $18500x

list price of truck = $17,000

if there are y trucks then total price of trucks = y*price of one truck

= $17,000*y = $17,000y  

Given that

Total value of shipment of cars and truck = $460,000   _______________3

Total value of cars shipped in terms of x and y = $18500x+$17,000_____4

since equation 3 and 4 are representing the same thing , equating them together we have

$18500x+$17,000y = $460,000  second equation

Removing $ sign to standardize the equation

18500x+17,000y = 460,000

The sum of 42 and x is equal to 97.45. What's the equation for the sentence?!! Help!
gogolik [260]

Answer:

X = 97.45 - 42

Step-by-step explanation:

If 42 + X = 97.45, X needs to be 97.45 - 42

you can do the same thing with smaller numbers, for example:

5 + X = 7

7 - 5= 2 and you can check for sure that this is the answer by adding them together 5 + 2= 7 so it's definitely the right answer

so for this question, 97.45- 42 = 55.45 so that's X

you can check that by 55.45 + 42 and if the answer is 97.45 that's the right answer!

I hope that makes sense
