Answer:
- drink cost: $1.75
- slice of pizza cost: $2.25
Step-by-step explanation:
Let d and p represent the costs of a drink and a pizza slice, respectively. The two orders have a value ...
d + 3p = 8.50
2d + 2p = 8.00
Subtracting the second equation from twice the first gives ...
2(d +3p) -(2d +2p) = 2(8.50) -(8.00)
4p = 9.00 . . . . . simplify
p = 2.25 . . . . . . divide by 4
Solving the first equation for d and putting in the value, we have
d = 8.50 -3p = 8.50 -3·2.25 = 8.50 -6.75
d = 1.75
The cost of a drink is $1.75; the cost of a pizza slice is $2.25.
Answer:
multiplying both-side of the equation by 3
substituting 36 for p to check the solution
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve the equation p/3 = 12, we will follow the steps below;
first multiply 3 to both-side of the equation, that is:
p/3 × 3 = 12 × 3
On the left-hand side of the equation, 3 at the numerator will cancel-out 3 at the denominator, leaving us with just p while on the right-hand side of the equation 12 will be multiplied by 3
p= 36
To check the correctness of the equation, we can substitute p = 36 back into the equation and then check, that is;
p/3 = 12
36/3 = 12
This implies p = 36 is correct
12. A full turn is 360 degrees. 360 divided by 30 is 12.
