Answer:

9 cans of tomato soup

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that only cans of tomato soup and cans of chicken soup are put on the shelf.

Now, we are told that the ratio of the number of cans of chicken noodle soup to the total number of cans on the shelf was 8 to 17.

In fraction, this is 8/17

Now, this implies that there are 8 cans of chicken noodle soup while there are a total of 17 cans on the shelf.

Thus,

Since only cans of chicken noodles and cans of tomato soup are on the shelf, it means;

Cans of tomato soup = 17 - 8 = 9

How do I fill this out? Im not sure how to?

Answer:

z=-21

Step-by-step explanation: (9-3)/2=(6+z)/5

We move all terms to the left:

(9-3)/2-((6+z)/5)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-((z+6)/5)+6/2=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-((z+6)/5)+3=0

We multiply all the terms by the denominator

-((z+6)+3*5)=0

We calculate terms in parentheses: -((z+6)+3*5), so:

(z+6)+3*5

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

(z+6)+15

We get rid of parentheses

z+6+15

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

z+21

Back to the equation:

-(z+21)

We get rid of parentheses

-z-21=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-1z-21=0

We move all terms containing z to the left, all other terms to the right

-z=21

z=21/-1

z=-21

Answer:

450 miles , $90.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d be the miles driven

59 + 0.07d = 50 + 0.09d

d = 450

The two plans cost the same when he drives for 450 miles which the respective cost is 59 + 0.07(450) = $90.5
