Answer:

84 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

use x to represent the amount of money Laura had when she started shopping.

use y to represent the amount of money she had left after buying a pair of shorts.

You can create these two equations:

3/4x=y

2/3x=42

now, subsitute the value of y into the second equation.

2/3(3/4x)=42

1/2x=42

x=84

Lana71 [14]
12. On addition, you can just combine like terms.
2v^3+(-v^3)=v^3
-v+v cancels each other out
8+(-3)=5
So you have v^3+5

14 On subtraction, you have to remember to distribute the negative sign so after you do that you have:
4h^3+3h+1+5h^3-6h+2
Then you can combine like terms
4h^3+5h^3=9h^3
3h-6h=-3h
1+2=3
So you end up with:
9h^3-3h+3

Hope that helps and feel free to ask any questions.

A baseball player was that bat 473 times during a regular season. if he made a hit 31. 5 % of the time he was at bat how many hi
alex41 [277]
Well, to calculate that, you have to multiply the number of bats by the "number" version of 31.5 %, which once you multiply them together, it comes out to be about 149 (148.995)
