Alexandera=a
imani=i
a is 8 more than i or
a=8+i
the sum of the 2 numbers is 50 or
a+i=50
a=8+i
so subsitute 8+i for a in a+i=50
8+i+i=50
8+2i=50
subtract 8 from both sides
2i=42
divide both sides by 2
i=21
subsiutte into a=8+i
a=8+21
a=29
a=29
i=21
Based on the equation given, it can be deduced that the value of the number will be 36.
Let the number be represented by x
Therefore, seven less than one-fourth of a number will be:
=(1/4 × x) - 7
= 0.25x - 7
Now, seven less than one-fourth of a number is 2 will be written as:
0.25x - 7 = 2
0.25x = 2 + 7
0.25x = 9
x = 9/0.25
x = 36

Answer:
40
Step-by-step explanation:
We have an original price p
We mark them up by 50%
p + p*50%
Changing to decimal form
p+.50p = 1.5p
The new price is 60 dollars
1.5p = 60
Divide each side by 1.5
1.5p/1.5 = 60/1.5
p =40
The original price is 40
Hello There @Diamondinthesky123 (Cute Username)
When you state the question, "How many times does 2 go into 19", I assume your talking about Long Division. (Not so long in this case)
In this case, we would divide 19 by 2, resulting in 9 with a remainder of 1.
Thats It! :)
I hope I helped, Have a great Day!
