1. Distribute
5(2n-4)
10n-20
9(n+2)
9n+18
10n-20=9n+18
2. Combine like terms
combine the terms with “n”, and then combine the other numbers.
Hope this helps!
Alright so turn 3/4 into a decimal.
3/4 =.75
We need to set up an equation. To do that are need to give boys and girls their own variables.
Girls= X
And since there is 3/4 as many boys
Boys=. 75X
Now we know the sum of boys and girls equals 35
X+.75X=35
X+.75X=1.75X
Now we have 1.75X=35
Divide by 1.75 and get
20=X
Now plug 20 into the equations got from before.
Boys =. 75*X = 20 *. 75 = 15
Girls = X =20
Your Answer:
15 boys
20 girls
You can check
20+15=35
15/20=3/4
<span>12x +3y = 12
y = -4x +5
We can convert the first equation to the same form as the second (y=mx+b, or slope-intercept).
12x +3y = 12
3y = -12x +12
y = -4x +4
Comparing the simplified first equation y = -4x +4 to the second equation y = -4x + 5, we see that both have the same slope (m = -4), but different y-intercepts (b = 4, b = 5). This means they are parallel lines, or an inconsistent system. There are no solutions.</span>
Given the following equation representing the cost of producing DVD Players:
Let's determine the number of DVD players produced if the cost is $544.50
Therefore, it'll cost $544.50 to produce 11 DVD Players.
The answer is 11.
