|AC| = 2|DE|
⇒
4x - 2 = 2(x + 6) = 2x + 12
2x = 14
x = 7
⇒
|AC| = 26
First answer is the correct answer
Answer:
$60
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say we need t $2 bills and v $5 bills.
We need 9 more $2 bills than $5 bills, so:
t = 9 + v
We also know that the amount of money in t $2 bills is 2 * t = 2t. The amount of money in v + 9 $5 bills is 5 * (v + 9) = 5v + 45. These amounts are equal:
5v + 45 = 2t
Plug v + 9 in for t in 5v = 2t + 18:
5v = 2t + 18
5v = 2 * (9 + v) + 18
5v = 18 + 2v + 18
3v = 36
v = 12
We have 12 $5 bills, so that total cost is 12 * 5 = $60.
