x + y = 3.36 --> the boys are splitting $3.36

x = 3y - .12 --> one boy received $.12 less than 3 times as much as the other

--> substitute the second equation for the x in the first equation

(3y - .12) + y = 3.36 --> combine like terms

4y - .12 = 3.36 --> add .12 to both sides of the equation

4y = 3.48 --> divide both sides by 4

y = .87

the other boy gets $0.87

substitute into x = 3y - 12

x = 3(.87) - .12

x = 2.61 - .12

x = 2.49

the first boy gets $2.49

Starlight tree farms sells douglas firs and noble first one December they sold 139 more douglas first than noble firs the total

Aloiza [94]

Part A:

Given that Starlight tree farms sells Douglas Firs and Noble First.

Let n be the number of Noble Fir trees sold, then if they sold 139 more Douglas First than Noble Firs, this means that the number of Douglas First trees sold is n + 139.

Given that the total number of trees sold was 377, then we have, n + n + 139 = 377, which means that 2n + 139 = 377

Therefore, the equation that could be used to solve for n, the number of Noble Fir trees sold is 2n + 139 = 377.

Part B:

Given that you are driving 55 miles per hour and you must drive a total of 440 miles. If you already driven 275 miles, then, the equation representing the number of hours, h, it will take to reach your destination is given by 55h + 275 = 440.

Subtracting 275 from both sides of the equation gives:

 $55h+275-275=440-275 \\ \\ \Rightarrow55h=165$

Dividing both sides by 55 gives:

 $\frac{55h}{55} = \frac{165}{55} \\ \\ \Rightarrow h=3$

Therefore, the time it will take you to reach your destination is 3 hours.
