Answer:
put value of x in x
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
All of these terms are dollar amounts.
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, x + y = 10 (where these numerals represent counts)
(1/2)x + (1/4)y = 4 (where (1/2), (1/4) and 4 are dollar amounts)
Let's eliminate y. To accomplish this, mult. the 2nd eq'n by-4, obtaining
-2x - y = -16, and then combining this with the 1st equation, as follows:
-2x - y = -16
x + y = 10
-------------------
-x = -6, or x = 6. This represents the number of pens purchased by Terrance.
Subbing 6 for x in the first equation, we get y = 4. This represents the number of pencils he bought.
($0.50)x + ($0.25)y = $4.00 (dollar amounts)
Answer:
w=10
Step-by-step explanation:
You would have to set 5w-4=46.
5w-4=46
Add 4 to both sides
5w=50
Divide both sides by 5
w=10
Answer:
See below
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of Payday be p and Baby Ruth be b
<u>Then sub of the candy bars:</u>
- Payday candy bars worth ⇒ $2p
- Baby Ruth candy bars worth ⇒ $3b
- Total ⇒ $600
1. <u>Required equations:</u>
2. <u>Solving by substitution:</u>
p = 220 - b, consider it in the second equation
- 2(220 - b) + 3b = 600
- 660 - 2b + 3b = 600
- 660 + b = 600
- b = 660 - 600
- b = 60
60 Baby Ruth candy bars sold
