Answer:
The solution is (-3, -2).
Step-by-step explanation:
Please note that if you simply add these 2 equations together, 9x - 9x = 0, and you are then left with -5y = 10. Thus, y = -2. Subbing -2 for y in the first equation, we get 9x - 8(-2) = -11, or 9x + 16 = -11.
Subtracting 16 from both sides, we get 9x = -27, so that x = -3.
The solution is (-3, -2).
There are 12 possible outcomes.....three of these will be a "7" ...so...
A "7" should occur 1/4 of the time
If each player pays 20p to play.....the school will take in 120 * 20 = 2400p
However.......1/4 of the players should win = 30 players.....and each lollipop costs 30p.....so......the school should spend 30 * 30 = 900p for the prizes
So......the school should raise 2400 - 900 = 1500p if 120 people play the game
Given:
Total number of colored pencils = 16
Colored pencils fit in a box = 8
To find:
The number of boxed that will fit the 16 pencils.
Solution:
According to the question 8 colored pencils will fit in a box. So, we have
8 pencils = 1 box
Multiply both sides by 2.
2×8 pencils = 2×1 box
16 pencils = 2 box
Therefore, 2 boxes are required to fit the 16 colored pencils.
The Solution are : a=3.
b=1.
Cost of the article = $27.50
Amount of city sales tax = (27.50 x 6%) = $1.65
Amount of excise tax = (27.50 x 8%) = $2.20
From my knowledge, we pay city sales tax and federal excise tax when we buy something, so the total cost would be $31.35
