Step-by-step explanation:
you said I didn't need an explanation
For this case we must simplify the following expression:
So, if we apply distributive property to the terms within parentheses we have:
We simplify taking into account that:
- Equal signs are added and the same sign is placed.
- Different signs are subtracted and the major sign is placed.
Answer:
Answer:
- 40 popcorns and 90 pretzels sold.
============
Let the number of popcorns is x and pretzels is y.
Set up equations:
- x + y = 130
- 2.5x + 2y = 280
Solve by elimination, multiply the first equation by 2 and subtract from the second equation:
- 2.5x + 2y - 2x - 2y = 280 - 2*130
- 0.5x = 280 - 260
- 0.5x = 20
- x = 20/0.5
- x = 40
Find y:
- 40 + y = 130
- y = 130 - 40
- y = 90
Answer:
- 28
Step-by-step explanation:
Plug in 7 for x
5 + 7 - 5 x 8
5 + 7 - 40
12 - 40
-28
