2a/5b = 6
(2a-5b)/5b could be written as: (2a/5b) -(5b/5b)
Repace by its equivalent value (6) -(1) = 5
In order to get the answer to this question you will have to find the common factor and then divide the numerator and denominator by the common factor to get the answer.
Therefore the answer is "2."
Hope this helps.
Answer:
x=9
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation: 5.60x=50.40
Solve: 5.60x=50.40
Divide both sides by 5.60 ( 5.60x/5.60 ) and ( 50.40/5.60 )
x=9
Answer:
Snickerdoodles are 0.22$ each and chocolate chip are 0.43$ each
Step-by-step explanation:
using the information in the problem, you can make 2 separate equations: 8x+12y=6.92 and 5x+5y=3.25, let x= the cost of a snickerdoodle and y= the cost of a chocolate chip cookie.
With the 2 equations, we can isolate the y variable of the first equation and simplify which will give us y= -2/3x +6.92/12.
You can now take that equation and plug it into equation number 2:
5x+5(-2/3x + 6.92/12)=3.25.
solve that equation by multiplying 5 through the brackets: 5x-10/3x+34.6/12=3.25
add common terms: 5/3x=4.4/12
find the value of x, you will get x=0.22
plug the value of x (0.22) into one of your equations and solve for the y-value
