Answer:

Movie cost $3.5 and the video game cost $5.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Let the cost of movies be x

and the cost of video game be y

12x+2y= 53----------1

and

3x+5y= 38-----------2

solve 1 and 2

12x+2y= 53X 5

3x+5y= 38  X2

 60x+10y= 265

- 6x+10y= 76

 54x= 189

x= 189/54

x= $3.5

put x= 3.5 in  1

12(3.5)+2y= 53

42+2y= 53

2y= 53-42

2y= 11

y= 11/2

y= $5.5

Hence the movie cost $3.5 and the video game cost $5.5

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

<em>Identify</em>

3x + 5(2 + x) = 4x - 7

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. [Distributive Property] Distribute 5:                                                                 3x + 10 + 5x = 4x - 7
  2. [Addition] Combine like terms:                                                                        8x + 10 = 4x - 7
  3. [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 4x on both sides:                      4x + 10 = -7
  4. [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 10 on both sides:                       4x = -17
  5. [Division Property of Equality] Divide 4 on both sides:                                  x = -17/4

Alice has 1/5 as many miniature cars as Sylvester has Sylvester has 35 miniature cars how many miniature cars does alic have?
const2013 [10]
The answer is 7. Since Alice has 1/5 as many cars as Sylvester. You multiply 1/5 by how many cars Sylvester has. Sylvester has 35 cars, so you would do 35 times 1/5 or 35 divided by 5 (multiply by 1/5 and divided by 5 are the same thing) and you would get your answer of 7.
