The answer is x=3.6 or 3 3/5.
First we convert the decimal answer to a fraction; 0.9 is read as "nine tenths," so the corresponding fraction is 9/10:
1 5/6 - (x - 7/12) + 2 1/12 = 9/10
Now we find a common denominator. The first thing that 6, 12 and 10 will all divide into is 60:
1 50/60 - (x - 35/60) + 2 5/60 = 54/60
Distributing the negative, we have:
1 50/60 - x + 35/60 + 2 5/60 = 54/60
Combining like terms, we have:
-x + 4 30/60 = 54/60
Subtracting 4 30/60 from each side, we have:
-x + 4 30/60 - 4 30/60 = 54/60 - 4 30/60
-x = -3 36/60
Divide both sides by -1:
-x/-1 = (-3 36/60)/-1
x = 3 36/60 = 3 3/5 = 3.6
Answer:
40 bats sold for $42
26 bats sold for $30
Step-by-step explanation:
x + y = 66
42x + 30y = 2460
solve first equation for y and plug in for y in second equation
42x + 30 (66 - x) = 2460
x = 40
y = 66- 40 = 26
Answer:
1104 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Say he lives in a place in Mexico which is at a distance of <em>a </em>miles from the Mexico-America border point and the reunion is at <em>b </em>miles from the same border point, in America.
So the total distance travelled is ( a + b ) miles
( this is just sum of distance travelled in Mexico + that in America )
Given , a=747 and a+b=1851
that implies:
747 + b = 1851
So, b = 1104 miles.
Therefore he has travelled 1104 miles in America,
What’s is this I don’t know
