Answer:

Jersey cost $8 and pair of shorts $5

Step-by-step explanation:

There are several ways to solve this, but I will find the solution using the system of equations.

Let's mark price of jersey with x, and price of pair of shorts with y. That means:

12x + 12y = 156

4x + 6y = 62

Now, we can multiply the second equation with -2 to cancel out y:

12x + 12y = 156

-8x - 12y = -124

That only leaves us with:

12x - 8x = 156 - 124

4x = 32

x = $8

Now we plug the value for x into any equation to find y:

4x + 6y = 62

32 + 6y = 62

6y = 30

y = $5

When 2(3/5 x + 2/3 y - 1/4 x -1 1/2 y + 3 )is simplified, what is the resulting expression?
vovangra [49]

Answer:

Simplifying  the expression: 2(\frac{3}{5}x+\frac{2}{3}y-\frac{1}{4}x-1\frac{1}{2}y +3) we get \mathbf{42x-100y-360}

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to simplify the expression: 2(\frac{3}{5}x+\frac{2}{3}y-\frac{1}{4}x-1\frac{1}{2}y +3)

First we will solve terms inside the bracket

2(\frac{3}{5}x+\frac{2}{3}y-\frac{1}{4}x-1\frac{1}{2}y +3)

Converting mixed fraction 1\frac{1}{2} y into improper fraction, we get: \frac{3}{2}y

Replacing the term:

2(\frac{3}{5}x+\frac{2}{3}y-\frac{1}{4}x-\frac{3}{2}y +3)

Now, taking LCM of: 5,3,4,2 we get 60

Now multiply 60 with each term inside the bracket

2(\frac{3}{5}x\times60+\frac{2}{3}y\times60-\frac{1}{4}x\times60-\frac{3}{2}y\times60 +3\times60)\\2(3x\times12+2y\times20-1x\times15-3x\times30-3\times60)\\2(36x+40y-15x-90y-180)

Now, combine like terms

2(36x-15x-90y+40y-180)\\2(21x-50y-180)

Now, multiply all terms with 2

42x-100y-360

So, Simplifying  the expression: 2(\frac{3}{5}x+\frac{2}{3}y-\frac{1}{4}x-1\frac{1}{2}y +3) we get \mathbf{42x-100y-360}

90/3 parts of silver = 30 times multiplied by
tin = 12 × 30 = 360g
lead = 8 × 30 = 240g

12.5 / 23 = 0.5434 parts per metal

tin = 12 × 0.5434 = 6.5kg
lead = 8 × 0.5434 = 4.5kg
silver = 3 × 0.5434 = 1.5kg

Express the statement as an algebraic equation. Two thirds of a number is 89
Darya [45]

Answer:

The number is 133.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number  =  x

2/3 * x = 89                          Multiply by 3

2x = 89 * 3                           Combine

2x = 267                               Divide by 2

x = 133.5
