Simultaneous Equations
2u + b = $110
4u + 3b = $268
(x2) 4u + 2b = $220
(x1) 4u + 3b = $268
<em />If both the matching coefficients are the same, we subtract equation 2 from equation 1
2b - 3b = -b
$220 - $268 = $-48
-b = -$48
b = $48
If you want to find out what a unicycle costs...
Substitute b = $48 into the first equation
2u + $48 = $110
Balance the equation, whatever happens on one side, happens on the other.
2u + $48 (-$48) = $110 (-$48)
2u = $62
2u(/2) = $62(/2)
u = $31
Answer:
1 13/20
Step-by-step explanation:
5 1/2 ÷ 3 1/3
11/2 ÷ 10/3
11/2 x 3/10 = 33/20
33/20 = 1 13/20
Hope this helps :)
⓵ You have to do a cross product in order to find your answer :
1/4 lb → 3 servings
1 ½ lb → × servings
(3 x 1 ½) ÷ 1/4 = (3 x 1,5) ÷ 0,25
⓶ Now you need to solve the equation :
(3 x 1,5) ÷ 0,25
↓
(4,5) ÷ 0,25
↓
4,5 ÷ 0,25 = 18
Which means that your final answer is that Mark can make 18 servings with 1 ½ lb of onions!
I hope this helped! ☻
A factor of 24 but not 2 it would be 3
