Answer:
25.4 or 25 times
Step-by-step explanation:
137.25-10.25=127
127/5=25.4
Call the notebooks x, and the pencils y.
<span>3x + 4y = $8.50 and 5x + 8y = $14.50 </span>
<span>Then just solve as simultaneous equations: </span>
<span>3x + 4y = $8.50 </span>
<span>5x + 8y = $14.50 </span>
<span>5(3x + 4y = 8.5) </span>
<span>3(5x + 8y = 14.5) </span>
<span>15x + 20y = 42.5 </span>
<span>15x + 24y = 43.5 </span>
<span>Think: DASS (Different Add, Similar Subtract). 15x appears in both equations so subtract one equation from the other. Eassier to subtract (15x + 20y = 42.5) from (15x + 24y = 43.5) </span>
<span>(15x + 24y = 43.5) - (15x + 20y = 42.5) = (4y = 1) which means y = 0.25. </span>
<span>Then substitue into equation : </span>
<span>15x + 20y = 42.5 </span>
<span>15x + 5 + 42.5 </span>
<span>15x = 42.5 - 5 = 37.5 </span>
<span>15x = 37.5 </span>
<span>x = 2.5 </span>
<span>15x + 24y = 43.5 </span>
<span>15(2.5) + 24(0.25) </span>
<span>37.5 + 6 = 43.5 </span>
<span>So x (notebooks) are 2.5 ($2.50) each and y (pencils) are 0.25 ($0.25) each.</span>
Answer:
p = 3.6666(repeating)
Step-by-step explanation:
3/5(p-3)=-4
We simplify the equation to the form, which is simple to understand
3/5(p-3)=-4
Simplifying:
+ 0.6*(p-3)=-4
Reorder the terms in parentheses
+( + 0.6p-1.8)=-4
Remove unnecessary parentheses
+ 0.6p-1.8=-4
We move all terms containing p to the left and all other terms to the right.
+ 0.6p=-4+1.8
We simplify left and right side of the equation.
+ 0.6p=-2.2
We divide both sides of the equation by 0.6 to get p.
p=-3.66666666667
