Answer:
# of 5 dollar bills: 9
# of 1 dollar bills: 6
Step-by-step explanation:
9•5 = 45
1•6 = 6
To Check: 45 + 6=51
Amy: x skirts
Betty: 2x skirts
Carol: (2x) + 7 skirts
If Amy has 18 less than Carol, than Carol's equation minus 18 equals Amy's equation:
[(2x) + 7] - 18 = x
+18 +18
(2x) + 7 = x + 18
- 7 -7
2x = x + 11
-x -x
x = 11
Input the solution for x into the girls equation to double check.
Amy: 11
Betty: 2(x)
2(11)
=22
Carol: (2x) + 7
22 + 7
=29
Does Amy have 18 less than Carol?
Carol - Amy = 18
29 - 11 = 18
18 = 18
the problem is solved
Answer:
no solution
Step-by-step explanation:
2w + 7 = 2(w + 5) - 8
Distribute
2w+7 = 2w+10-8
Combine like terms
2w+7 = 2w+2
Subtract 2w from each side
7 = 2
This is never true so there is no solution
Let the smallest integer be x
The second integer = x + 2
The third integer = x + 4
x + x + 2 = x + 4 + 24
2x + 2 = x + 28
2x - x = 28 - 2
x = 26
So the numbers are 26, 28, 30
