Answer:

Solid paper costs 1.75 each

Printed paper costs 2.50 each

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Ben = $43.50 (12 rolls solid paper and 9 rolls of printed paper)

Joel = $51.50 (8 rolls solid paper and 15 rolls of printed paper)

Let x = solid paper

Let y = printed paper

12x + 9y = 43.50

 8x + 15y = 51.50

Find x:

8x + 15y = 51.50

8x = 51.50 - 15y

x = (51.50 - 15y)/8

Substitute x:

12x + 9y = 43.50

12(51.50 - 15y)/8 + 9y = 43.50

(618 - 180y)/8 + 9y = 43.50

8 (618 - 180y)/8 + 8*9y = 43.50 * 8

618 - 180y + 72y = 348

-108y = 348 - 618

-108y = -270

-108y/-108 = -270/-108

y = 2.50

x = (51.50 - 15y)/8

x = (51.50 - 15(2.5) /8

x = (51.50 - 37.50)/8

x = 14/8

x = 1.75

To check: x = 1.75 ; y = 2.5

12x + 9y = 43.50

12(1.75) + 9(2.5) = 43.50

21 + 22.50 = 43.50

43.50 = 43.50

8x + 15y = 51.50

8(1.75) + 15(2.5) = 51.50

14 + 37.50 = 51.50

51.50 = 51.50

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

- 2x - 31

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

- 3(4x + 5) - 2(- 5x + 8)

Multiply the terms in the first parenthesis by - 3 and the terms in the second parenthesis by - 2

= - 12x - 15 + 10x - 16 ← collect like terms

= (- 12x + 10x) + (- 15 - 16)

= - 2x - 31

Y_Kistochka [10]

Given:

Sharon uses 6.3 pints of blue paint and white paint to paint her bedroom walls.

\dfrac{4}{5}th of this amount is blue paint and the rest is white paint.

To find:

The pints of white paint did she use to paint her bedroom walls.

Solution:

We have,

Total paint used = 6.3 pints

Blue paint = \dfrac{4}{5}th of total paint used

                 = \dfrac{4}{5}\times 6.3

                 = 5.04

White paint = Total paint used - Blue paint

                   = 6.3-5.04

                   = 1.26

Therefore, Sharon uses 1.26 pints of white paint to paint her bedroom walls.
