Simultaneous Equations
2u + b = $110
4u + 3b = $268
(x2) 4u + 2b = $220
(x1) 4u + 3b = $268
<em />If both the matching coefficients are the same, we subtract equation 2 from equation 1
2b - 3b = -b
$220 - $268 = $-48
-b = -$48
b = $48
If you want to find out what a unicycle costs...
Substitute b = $48 into the first equation
2u + $48 = $110
Balance the equation, whatever happens on one side, happens on the other.
2u + $48 (-$48) = $110 (-$48)
2u = $62
2u(/2) = $62(/2)
u = $31
Answer: Equation: or
x is the cost of each shrub x = $10
Step-by-step explanation: Total bill = $62.50.
Subtract the cost of potting soil for $12.50 to find the cost of just the shrubs. 5x equals that amount
5x = 62.50 - 12.50
5x = 50 divide both sides by 5
5x/5 = 50/5
x = 10
The volume of the <span>goldfish pool is V= 0.5ft x 1.5ft x 3ft=2.25 ft^3
so 7.5gallons ----------> 1 ft^3
x=? <----------- </span>2.25 ft^3
<span>x= 2.25 x 7.5 / 1= 16.87 gallons
the answer is </span>16.87 gallons of water <span>
