ok distribute the 6 by multiplying it by 1q and -5
5=6q-30-19
Now subtract 30-19
5=6q-11
add 11 to both sides
16=6q
divide both sides by 6
q= 16/6
simplify
16/2=8, 6/2=3
q=8/3
Answer:
6,000 children
Step-by-step explanation:
1/3 of 9,000 is 3,000
Meaning that out of 9,000 children, 3,000 WILL get affected. Since we are trying to figure out how many children will NOT get affected, just subtract the number of infected by the total amount which would be 6,000
Answer:
Cost of five blouses = $145
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x = cost of blouse
y = cost of skirt
15x + 2y = 505 (1)
5x + 2y = 215 (2)
Subtract (2) from (1) to eliminate y
15x - 5x = 505 - 215
10x = 290
x = 290/10
x = 29
Substitute x = 29 into (2)
5x + 2y = 215 (2)
5(29) + 2y = 215
145 + 2y = 215
2y = 215 - 145
2y = 70
y = 70/2
y = 35
x = cost of blouse = $29
y = cost of skirt = $35
How much do 5 such blouses cost?
cost of a blouse = $29
Cost of five blouses = $29 × 5
= $145
Cost of five blouses = $145
140/7=20
220/20=11
the answer is 11
