Answer:

  • Ben: 13
  • Gwen: 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The given relations give rise to two equations:

  b = g + 5

  b + g = 21

Using the first to substitute for b in the second, we have ...

  (g +5) +g = 21

  2g = 16 . . . . . . . subtract 5

  g = 8 . . . . . . . . . divide by 2

  b = 8 +5 = 13

Ben got 13 presents; Gwen got 8.

For each problem, identify any important quantities. If it's a known quantity, write the
Tema [17]

Answer:

We have the problem:

"Clare is in charge of getting snacks for a road trip with her friends and her dog. She has

$35 to go to the store to get some supplies. The snacks for herself and her friends cost

$3.25 each, and her dog's snacks costs $9 each."

In this situation we have two variables:

X =  number of snacks for herself and her friends that she buys. Each one of these costs $3.50

Y = number of snacks for her dog that she buys. Each one of these costs $9.

The total cost, in this case, can be written as:

X*$3.50 + Y*$9

And we know that she has $35 to spend, so she can spend $35 or less in the store, then we have the inequality:

X*$3.50 + Y*$9  ≤ $35

Where we defined all the quantities in the inequality.
