38(m - 29) = 434...distribute thru the parenthesis
38m - 1102 = 434...add 1102 to both sides
38m = 434 + 1102
38m = 1536....divide both sides by 38
m = 1536/38
m = 768/19 or 40 8/19
Answer:
8 groups.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are told that Luis purchased 24 purple plants and 8 pink plants. He wants to plant them in equal groups in his garden. We are asked to find out largest number of groups he can make.
To solve this problem we will find GCF of 24 and 8.
Factors of 24 are: 1,2,3,4,6,8,12 and 24.
Factors of 8 are 1,2,4 and 8.
We can see that greatest common factor of 24 and 8 is 8.
Therefore, Luis can make 8 groups each having 3 purple plants and 1 pink plant.
Answer:
3x+12y+4 -- is the simplified version, variables would be x and y
Answer:
8 one-dollar bills
3 five-dollar bills
2 ten-dollar bills
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = # of one-dollar bills, y = # of five-dollar bills, and z = # of ten-dollar bills. Total amount in the wallet is $43, so the first equation would be 1x + 5y + 10z = 43. Next, there are 4 times as many one-dollar bills as ten-dollar bills, so x = 4z. There are 13 bills in total, so x + y + z = 13
x + 5y + 10z = 43
x = 4z
x + y + z = 13
x + 5y + 10z = 43
x + 0y - 4z = 0
x + y + z = 13
5y + 14z = 43
-y - 5z = -13
5y + 14z = 43
-5y - 25z = -65
-11z = -22
z = 2
x = 4z
x = 4*2 = 8
x + y + z = 13
8 + y + 2 = 13
10 + y = 13
y = 3
Answer:
x= 4 y= 7 z= -6
Step-by-step explanation:
solve for one and you get them all
First, I got rid of the z by multiplying common factors (multiplied z by 2) and added equations 2 and 3 together after multiplying by 2
4x - 3y - 2z = 7
-10x+10y+2z= 18
-6x+7y= 25
Then multiplied z by -3 (to get rid of the z) with the original equation 3
3x - 2y + 3z = -20
15x-15y-3z= -27
18x-17y= -47
Next find common thing between the 2 equations we got and multiply it by that and combine (we can multiply first equation by 3 to get rid of the x and solve for y)
-18x+21y= 75
18x-17y= -47
y=7
Work backwards, substitute 7 into the above equation, you get x= 4 and then same for z to get z= -6
