Answer:

The cost for 1 chair is $2.75 and the cost for 1 table is $8.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the elimination method of linear equations to find your answer.

Our equations for this problem are:

3c+5t=52 and 9c+7t=86

1. Multiply the entire first equation by -3.

-3(3c+5t=52)

2. Simplify the equation from above:

-9c-15t=-156

3. Stack the two equations on top of each other and add/subtract:

-9c-15t=-156

9c+7t=86

4. You should be left with -8t=-70. Simplify this to find the value of t:

t=8.75

5. Plug the value of t into any of the original equations and solve for c.

3c+5(8.75)=52

6. Simplify the equation above:

3c+43.75=52

7. Subtract 43.75 from both sides of the equation:

3c=8.25

8. Divide both sides by 3 to get your c value:

c=2.75

How much is 1 and 3/4ths times 2
Tomtit [17]
To find out what 1 and 3/4 times 2 is, we need to find out a way to make it much more simple and then answer it.
A quick way to answer this in a few steps is to:
1.) convert the fraction into decimal.
To do this, we need to divide 100 by our denominator (the number on the bottom of a fraction). Let's try it.
100 / 4 = 25.
For every 1/4, it adds 25.
Since we have 3/4, multiply 3 by 25.
You get 75, but it is not whole.
2.) Put your quotient into decimal form by putting it as 0.## (if we divided 100 by a smaller number).
Your number for 3/4 is 0.75.
Since we have a whole number (1), put it in the single-digit place.
(#.00)
1.75 is your fraction into decimal form.
Now, we need to multiply 1.75 by 2.00.
2.00 x 1.75 = 3.5
Your product is 3.5.
I hope this helps!
