Answer:2/16
Step-by-step explanation:
Linear equations are all solved the same way. Figure out the operations performed on the variable. Undo those in reverse order.
Here, the variable is
- divided by 2
- has -7 added.
In reverse order, we undo these operations by
- adding 7
- multiplying by 2.
Whatever we do to one side of an equation, we must also do to the other side. That is how the equal sign remains valid.
2 = m/2 -7
2 +7 = m/2 -7 +7 . . . . . add 7
9 = m/2 . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify
2*9 = 2*m/2 . . . . . . . . multiply by 2
18 = m . . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify. (You know that 2/2 = 1, and m*1 = m.)
The answer is m = 18.

Check:
.. 2 = 18/2 -7
.. 2 = 9 -7 . . . . . . . true. The answer checks OK.

Answer:
The cousins have 4 bags of white marbles and 4 bags of pink marbles.
Step-by-step explanation:
If x is the number of bags with white marbles and y is the number of bags with pink marbles, we can write the following system:
x + y = 8 -- Equation 1
5x + 7y = 48 -- Equation 2
5x + 5y = 40 -- Equation 3 (Multiply Equation 1 by 5)
2y = 8 -- (Subtract Equation 3 from 2)
y = 4 -- (Divide both sides by 2)
x + 4 = 8 -- (Substitute y = 4 into Equation 1)
x = 4 -- (Subtract 4 from both sides)
Answer:
The consumer will either be able to buy 8 apples or 16 bananas with a budget of $12.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following in the question:
Total budget or income = $12
Cost of an apple = $1.50
Cost of a banana = $0.75
The consumer spent all of her budget on just apples or just bananas.
Number of apples purchased =
Numbers of banana purchased =
Thus, the consumer will either be able to buy 8 apples or 16 bananas with a budget of $12.
