Adam's dad paid £52.20.
This is considered three "parts" of the total cost.
Let's divide by 3 to find the size of one part.
£52.20 ÷ 3 = £17.40
Now, multiply by 5 (Adam's parts + his dad's) to get the total cost.
$\boxed{\£87}$

(I'll do it with a dollar sign cause I don't have pounds on my laptop).

- Adam's Dad pays 3/5 parts of the meal

- Adam's dad pays $52.20 that equal 3/5

- Adam pays 2/5

-Divide A's dads payment of $52.20 by 3

- That means $17.40 is 1/5

- $17.40 x 5 = $82 and that is the full meal

Done :)

Answer:

$\mathrm{The\:solutions\:to\:the\:system\:of\:equations\:are:}$

$y=0,\:x=6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the system of the equations

$\begin{bmatrix}2x-7y=12\\ -x+15y=-6\end{bmatrix}$

$\mathrm{Isolate}\:x\:\mathrm{for}\:2x-7y=12$

$2x-7y+7y=12+7y$

$2x=12+7y$

Divide both sides by 2

$\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{12}{2}+\frac{7y}{2}$

$x=\frac{12+7y}{2}$

$\mathrm{Subsititute\:}x=\frac{12+7y}{2}$

$\begin{bmatrix}-\frac{12+7y}{2}+15y=-6\end{bmatrix}$

$-\frac{12+7y}{2}+15y=-6$

$\mathrm{Multiply\:both\:sides\:by\:}2$

$-\frac{12+7y}{2}\cdot \:2+15y\cdot \:2=-6\cdot \:2$

$-\left(12+7y\right)+30y=-12$

$-12+23y=-12$

$-12+23y+12=-12+12$

$23y=0$

$\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}23$

$\frac{23y}{23}=\frac{0}{23}$

$y=0$

$\mathrm{For\:}x=\frac{12+7y}{2}$

$\mathrm{Subsititute\:}y=0$

$x=\frac{12+7\cdot \:0}{2}$

$x=\frac{12}{2}$

$x=6$

$\mathrm{The\:solutions\:to\:the\:system\:of\:equations\:are:}$

$y=0,\:x=6$

How do you convert 7/6 into a mixed number

Natali [406]

Wel its kinda difficult to say but look on how much times 6 can fit into 7 which is 1 but that will be 6,so in order to become seven you need 1 which is our left over number,so in the end you will get 1 whole and 1/6 and you use the leftover number as your numerator and just leave the 6 as it was.Whoof that was long but its no nearly as long as i explain it.
