A. 180
b. 230
c. I'm not sure what that on is
Answer: n = 75; p = 30
Explanation: (a) 5p + 4n = 450 where p is for pen and n is for notebook.
(b) 10p + 3n = 525
We can use the elimination method to solve these two equations.
1. Multiply the first equation by 2 so that 10p will cancel out:
2(5p + 4n = 450)
- 10p + 3p = 525
10p + 8n = 900
- 10 p + 3n = 525
5n = 375
2. Divide by 5 to get n alone: n = 75
3. Plug 75 into the first equation: 5p + 4(75) = 450
5p + 300 = 450
4. Subtract 300 from 450: 5p = 150
5. Divide by 5 to get p alone: p = 30
We can test if this is correct by plugging our answers into the second equation:
10(30) + 3(75) = 525
300 + 225 = 525
525 = 525
This is a true statement, which means that our answers are correct.
-40 +2n= 4n -8(n+8)
-40 +2n= 4n -8n -64
-40 + 2n = -4n -64
2n = -4n -64 +40
2n=-4n-24
2n+4n=-24
8n=-24
N= -3
Answer is n equals -3
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Well, they are not the same. For one thing, 48÷x = 6 is an equation.
48-x-x-x-x-x-x is an expression, not an equation.
