3n+6b=72, 

3n=72-6b

n=24-2b  and we are also told that:

4n+5b=66  substituting in n found above into this equation gives

4(24-2b)+5b=66

96-8b+5b=66

-3b=-30

b=10 grams, and since from earlier we saw that n=24-2b

n=24-2(10)

n=24-20

n=4 grams

So the combined mass of one bold and one nut is:

10+4=14 grams

A pencil and a ruler cost $1.50 together. The ruler costs $1.00 more than the pencil. How much does the pencil cost?
Vlad1618 [11]
<span>So we want to know how much does the pencil costs if the ruler costs 1$ more than the pencil and together they cost 1.5$. So lets start with converting dollars into cents. Lets turn this into an equation. Ruler is x and the pencil is y. So together ruler and pencil cost 150cents or: x+y=150 cents. The ruler costs 100 cents more than the pencil, or: (x+100 cents ) + y = 150 cents. So we see that we need to put the values of x=25 cents and y=25 cents to get the ruler to cost 125 cents which is 100 cents or 1$ more than the pencil. So the pencil costs 25 cents. </span>

Solve the proportion.<br><br> 8/7 = n/9
RoseWind [281]
\frac{8}{7} = \frac{n}{9}

Cross multiply the fractions:

7 \times n = 7n
8 \times 9 = 72

7n = 72

Divide both sides by 7 to get n by itself:

72 \div 7 = 10.28
n = 10.28

The value of n is 10.28.
