Answer:

x = friends that paid discount price = 8

y = friends that paid regular price = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = friends that paid discount price

y = friends that paid regular price

x + y = 12 (1)

6x + 8y = 80 (2)

From (1)

x = 12 - y

Substitute x = 12 - y into (2)

6x + 8y = 80 (2)

6(12 - y) + 8y = 80

72 - 6y + 8y = 80

- 6y + 8y = 80 - 72

2y = 8

y = 8/2

y = 4

Substitute y = 4 into (1)

x + y = 12 (1)

x + 4 = 12

x = 12 - 4

x = 8

x = friends that paid discount price = 8

y = friends that paid regular price = 4

When 5 times a number is added to 45 the answer is the sm of 85 and 140 what is the number
zimovet [89]

Hello.

First, let the number be r.

5 times r is written like this:

\rm{5r}

Now, add 45:

\mathrm{5r+45}

Now, the sum of 5r+45 is equal to the sum of 85 and 140:

\mathrm{5r+45=85+140}

In order to solve this equation, we need to add 85 and 140:

\mathrm{5r+45=225}

Now, subtract 45 from both sides:

\mathrm{5r+45-45=225-45}

\mathrm{5r=225-45}

\mathrm{5r=180}

The last step is to divide both sides by 5:

\mathrm{r=36}

Therefore, the answer is

\rm{r=36}

I hope it helps.

Have a nice day.
