Answer:
n is 20
Step-by-step explanation:
If n/8=2.5, then you can just do 8*2.5 to find n. 2.5*8=20
Remembe you can do anything to an equation as long as you do it to both sides
multiply both sides by 3/2 or divide both sides by 2/3 (same thing)
we get x=36/2 or x=18
Answer: It should cost $5
Step-by-step explanation:
First you have 4 hardcover and 2 softcover, so 4x+2y= $24 and for your friend it would be 3x+3y= $21.
You have
(3x+3y)2 = 72
(4x+2y)3 = 42
Then subtract them which is 30 you would divide by 6 since 3x2=6
Which gets you to 5.
