Answer:
I believe your answer is commutative property
75 cents is for 1lb
I got that answer because I divided 3.75 and 5 and the I got 75 cents
Answer:
You would use the distributive property.
Step-by-step explanation:
2(x+4) = 2x+8
2x+8x = 2x+8
10x = 2x+8
10x - 2x = 2x-2x+8
8x = 8
8x/8 = 8/8
x = 1
Divide both the numerator and denominator by 9 to get;
Convert the improper fraction to a mixed number;
Answer:
92 attendees had activity cards
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of students with activity cards. Then 130-x is the number without, and the total revenue is ...
7x +10(130 -x) = 1024
7x +1300 -10x = 1024 . . . . eliminate parentheses
-3x = -276 . . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms; subtract 1300
x = 92 . . . . . . divide by 3
92 students with activity cards attended the dance.

<em>Comment on the solution</em>
Often, you will see such a problem solved using two equations. For example, they might be ...
Let 'a' represent the number with an activity card; 'w' the number without. Then ...
- a+w = 130 . . . . the total number of students
- 7a +10w = 1024 . . . . the revenue from ticket sales
The problem statement asks for the value of 'a', so you want to eliminate w from these equations. You can do that using substitution. Using the first equation to write an expression for w, you have ...
w = 130-a
and making the substitution into the second equation gives ...
7a +10(130 -a) = 1024
This should look a lot like the equation we used above. There, we skipped the extra variable and went straight to the single equation we needed to solve.
