Answer: Maria has 16 more cups of water than Josh
Step-by-step explanation:
Solution= x=5
Alernative form= 21 x - 105= 0<span />
Answer:
x equals to - 5.5 or - 11/2
Let number of fives = x then number of ones = 3x and number of tens = x - 1
so we can create the equation
x + 3x + x-1 + y = 26 where y = number of twenties
so
5x + y = 27
also we have the equation
5x + 3x + 10(x - 1) + 20y = 120
18x + 20y = 130..................................(1)
5x + y = 27 multiply by -20:-
-100x - 20y = -540..............................(2)
Adding equation (1) and (2)
-82x = -410
x = 5, that is 5 fives
Now plug x = 5 into equation 1:-
18(5) + 20y = 130
20y = 40
y = 2 , that is 2 twenties
So the answer is there are (3x) = 15 ones , 5 fives, 4 tens and 2 twenties
7/5 = 14/10 = 28/20
Numerator = x
Denominator = x-4
Add 3 to both:
x +3 / (x-4+3)
x+3 = 14
(x-4 +3) = 10 = x-1 = 10
x = 11
Check:
11 -4 = 7 ( denominator is 4 less than the numerator.)
add 3 to both:
11+3 = 14
7+3 = 10
14/10 reduces to 7/5
The original fraction would be 11/7
