Answer:
x = 11.25
Step-by-step explanation:
-6 = 0.8x - 15
Add 15 to both sides;
-6 + 15 = 0.8x - 15 + 15
9 = 0.8x
Divide both sides by 0.8;
x = 11.25
Answer:
y=55 degrees x=125 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
The whole equation simplified to one answer is 5
Answer:
The equation is
6x + 12y = 48
Step-by-step explanation:
Standard form another way of writing a linear equation. It is in the form
Ax + By = C
Total amount with Samantha = $48
Single player games = $6 each
Multi player games = $12 each
Let
Number of Single player games = x
Number of Multi player games = y
The number of single player games (x) and the number of multi player games (y) Samantha can buy is
6x + 12y = 48
That is price × quantity of single player games + price × quantity of multi player games = Total amount with Samantha
My teacher taught me a simple equation for these types of problems:
(percent of solution × amount of solution) + (percent of solution × amount of solution) = (percent of solution × total amount of solution)
in simple terms: %amount + %amount = %total amount
We know don't know how much gallons of 60% solution we need so it will be represented as x. We dont know the total amount either so it would have to be both solutions added together so 50 + x. Now lets solve:
(0.60)(x) + (0.24)(50) = (0.50)(50 + x) simplify/ distribute
0.6x + 12 = 25 +0.5x get all xs on one side and numbers on other
0.1x + 12 = 25
0.1x = 13 divide both sides by 0.1 to find x
x = 130
You need 130 gallons of 60% solution.
