Answer:

=−5

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Rearrange terms

25−3=40

−3+25=40

2. Subtract 25 from both sides of the equation

−3+25=40

−3+25−25=40−25

3. Simplify

If you subtract the numbers

−3=15

4. Divide both sides of the equation by the same term

−3=15

−3÷-3=15÷-3

5. Simplify

If you divide the numbers

=−5

And thats the answer

I hope this helped     :)

Jean sold cupcakes and cookies yesterday. Each cupcake sold for $2.25 and each cookie sold for $0.50. At the end of the day, Jea
slega [8]

Answer:number of cupcakes sold is 13

Number of cookies sold is 27

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of cupcakes that Jane sold.

Let y represent the number of cookies that Jane sold.

Each cupcake sold for $2.25 and each cookie sold for $0.50. At the end of the day, Jean had sold $42.75 worth of cookies and cupcakes.

This means that

2.25x + 0.5y = 42.75 - - - - - - - - - -1

she sold 40 cupcakes and cookies combined, it means that

x + y = 40

Substituting x = 40 - y into equation 1, it becomes

2.25(40 - y) + 0.5y = 42.75

90 - 2.25y + 0.5y = 42.75

- 2.25y + 0.5y = 42.75 - 90

- 1.75y = - 47.25

y = - 47.35/-1.75

y = 27

x = 40 - y

x = 40-27 = 13

0.5s + 1 = 7 + 4.5s<br><br> Show work, and answers please. This is for algebra 1.
ioda
0.5s + 1 = 7 + 4.5s   Subtract 4.5s from both sides
  -4s + 1 = 7              Subtract 1 from both sides
       -4s = 6              Divide both sides by -4
          s = -\frac{6}{4}   Simplify
          s = -\frac{3}{2}

tatiyna

The charity will receive $ 11

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Ken earned $176 from his part-time job this summer

Amount earned = $ 176

He spent 25% of his money on games

Therefore,

Money spent on games = 176 - 25 % of 176

\text{Money spent on games } = 176 - \frac{25}{100} \times 176\\\\\text{Money spent on games } = 176 - 0.25 \times 176\\\\\text{Money spent on games } = 176 - 44\\\\\text{Money spent on games } = 132

He is going to donate 1/4 of the remaining money to charity

Reamining amount = 176 - 132 = 44

Therefore,

Money\ given\ to\ charity = \frac{1}{4} \times 44 = 11

Thus he gave $ 11 to charity
