Answer: 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of candy Ed took be denoted as "x"

Since Joe ate twice the amount of candy Ed ate, then the number of candies joe ate will be denoted as "2x"

Since all together they ate a total of 48 candies, then the sum of the candies eaten by Joe and Ed is what gives a total of 48

This means:

2x + x = 48

3x = 48

X = 16.

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

20 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let m be number of miles.

Laguana's Truck Rentals charges $20 plus $2 per mile.

Total cost of Laguana's Truck = 20+2m         .... (1)

Salvatori's truck rentals charges $3 per mile.  

Total cost of Salvatori's truck = 3m          ... (2)

We need to find the number of hours after that the total cost for both companies will be the same.

3m=20+2m

3m-2m=20

m=20

Therefore, after 20 miles the total cost for both companies will be the same.

6 plates and 5 cups cost 23.80 dollars. 7 plates and 6 cups cost 28.00 dollars. Each plate costs the same amount as the other pl
MrRa [10]

Answer:

c = $1.4

p = $2.8

Step-by-step explanation:

two equations can be derived from the question

6p + 5c = 23.80 equation 1

7p + 6c = 28  equation 2

p = plates

c - cups

multiply equation 1 by 7 and equation 2 by 6

42p + 35c = 166.60  equation 3

42p + 36c = 168  equation 4

subtract equation 3 from 4

c = 1.4

substitute for c in equation 1

6p + 5(1.4)  = 23.80

p = (23.80 - 7) / 6

p = 2.8

What is the equation of a line that goes through the point (0,5/6) and has a slope of 1
lisov135 [29]

The slope is given as 1.

The Y-intercept is where the line crosses the Y axis when X is 0. This is also given by the point (0,5/6). X is 0 and Y is 5/6, so the Y-intercept is 5/6.

The equation of a line is given as y = mx +b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

The equation is: y = x +5/6
