You can estimate 3.9 times 5.3 to 4 times 5 which is 20
so if the answer is around 20, you know that you will have exactly 2 digits before the decimal place
0.50x-6=4
move -6 to the other side
sign changes from -6 to 6
0.50x-6+6= 4+6
0.50x= 10
divide by 0.50 for both sides
0.50/0.50x= 10/0.50
x= 20
Answer: x= 20
10t = b - 4
12b+8t = $348
This is a system of equations. I’ll be solving through substitution.
In the first equation. solving for b (the easier variable to isolate) gives you:
b = 10t + 4
Substitute this into the second equation:
12(10t+4) +8t = 348
120t+48+8t = 348
128t = 300
t = 2.34375 —> round it to the nearest cent to get 2.34 dollars
b = 10t+4
b = 10(2.34)+4
b = 27.4 dollars
The answer is 3 because z to the y a-1
