Answer:
Maria's book is 202 pages long, Brandon's book is 146 pages long
Step-by-step explanation:
We can set this up with 2 variables: lets say that Maria's book length is x and Brandon's is y.
We can see that Maria's book is 56 pages longer than Brandon's and can come up with an equation:
x=y+56
We also see that their booklengths add up to 348, and can get:
x+y=348
From here, we solve for x and y. We can use substitution to find y.
x+y=348
(y+56)+y=348
2y=292
y=146
Here we plug in for x:
x=y+56
x=(146)+56
x=202
Therefor we get that Maria's book is 202 pages long, Brandon's book is 146 pages long
8 per package.
64*2= 128
Now we need to divide 128 by 8 to see how many packages we will need.
128/8= 16
Now we know that we need 16 packages so that we can feed 64 people 2 dinner rolls.
Final answer: 16 packages
X=amout the shirts cost
52=8+6.50+2x
add 8 and 6.5
52=14.5+2x
subtract 14.5 from 52
37.5=2x
divide 37.5 by 2
x=18.75
It cost $18.75 for each shirt.
