Subtract the amount used from the total packets:
5000 - 1824 = 3176 left after the first week.
3176 - 2352 = 824 total packets left.
Answer:
Let S = price of sweater
Let P = price of pants
S + P = 89.47 because that was the total spent
S = P - 8.53 because the sweater is 8.53 less than pants
Substitute P-8.53 in place of S in the
1st equation and solve for P
P - 8.53 + P = 89.47
2P - 8.53 = 89.47 add 8.53 to both sides
2P = 89.47 + 8.53
2P = 98.00 divide both sides by 2
P = 98.00/2
P = $49.00
S = P - 8.53
S = 49.00-8.53
S = $40.47
A sweater costs $40.47 and the pants cost $49.00
This equation basically says that a number plus 3/5 equals 2 so we can simply:
2 - 3/5 = x
Therefore x equals 1 & 2/5 or 1.4
Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
First, break it down:
Two is eight less than twice a number
2 = 2x - 8
+8 + 8
10 = 2x
5 = x
Hope this helps :)
