60*(1-x)=36
60-60x=36
-60x=36-60
-60x=-24
x=24/60
x=4/10
x=2/5
x=0.4
36 is 40% less than 60
X + y = 24....multiply by -3
3x + 5y = 100
---------------
-3x - 3y = - 72 (result of multiplying by -3)
3x + 5y = 100
--------------add
2y = 28
y = 28/2
y = 14
x + y = 24
x + 14 = 24
x = 24 - 14
x = 10
solution is (10,14)...and x represents 3 point q's and y represents 5 point q's......so this tells me there are 10 three point q's and 14 five point q's.
You would do 29.85 ÷ 3 which equals 9.95. You would do the in verse operation. Hope I helped you.
Answer:
65
Step-by-step explanation:
1/2 which is half of total is green
1/4 is bad and the remaining apples are red
1/2 of 260 = 130 green apples
1/4 of 260 = 65 bad apples
the remaining is 1/4 which is equal to 65 are red apples
