Let’s set this equation up to make this easier.
melanie= 2 1/5 miles walked
cathy= 1 3/4 more times than melanie.
when an equation says the word, more than this means adding. when it says less than this means subtraction. when it says times (in this question) then multiply.
so, if cathy walked 1 3/4 more times than melanie what we would do is multiply 1 3/4 to what melanie was walking. so 2 1/5 times 1 3/4 which equals 3.85.
so overall, cathy walked 3.85 more miles than melanie.
Answer: There were 78 red apples at the party.
Step-by-step explanation:
This situation can be represented by the equation
x + 3x + 2(3x) = 130 where x is the number of green apples, 3x is the number of yellow apples and 2(3x) is the number of red apples.
Now solve for x
x +3x +2(3x) =130
4x + 6x = 130
10x = 130
x = 13
Now we know that x is 13 so put it into the expression for red apples and solve for the actual number of red apples.
2 * (3*13) = ?
2 * 39 = 78
X-3y=9
-3y=-x+9
Divide by -3
Y=1/3x+3
Slope is 1/3x
Y intercept is 3
X intercept is 9
since the equation on the left can be rewritten :
to be 5n-10 then both sides of the equation are equal
so any real number will work
