Given:

A number is q, multiply it by 2 and add 5.

You get the same answer as when you minus 2 from q.

To find:

The value of q.

Solution:

The algebraic representation of the statement "a number is q, multiply it by 2 and add 5" is

Multiply q by 2 = 2q

Multiply q by 2 and then add 5 : 2q + 5

So, the first result is 2q+5.

When you minus 2 from q = q-2

So, the second result is q-2.

According to the question, both results are equal. Equate both results to get the value of q.

2q+5=q-2

Isolate variable terms.

2q-q=-5-2

q=-7

Therefore, the value of q is -7.

Bryce spent $5.26 on some apples prices at $0.64 each and some pears priced at $0.45 each. at another store he could have bought
Reil [10]
Let the number of apples be x and that of pears be y, then:
0.64x + 0.45y = 5.26 . . . (1)
0.32x + 0.39y = 3.62 . . . (2)

(2) x 2 => 0.64x + 0.78y = 7.24 . . . (3)
(1) - (3) => -0.33y = -1.98
y = -1.98 / -0.33 = 6

From (2), 0.32x + 0.39(6) = 3.62
0.32x = 3.62 - 2.34 = 1.28
x = 1.28 / 0.32 = 4

Therefore, he bought 4 apples and 6 pears.
