Answer:
The letter "x" is often used in algebra to mean a value that is not yet known. It is called a "variable" or sometimes an "unknown". In x + 2 = 7, x is a variable, but we can work out its value if we try! A variable doesn't have to be "x", it could be "y", "w" or any letter, name or symbol
Answer:
11x represents the total area of the rectangular playground
Answer: 33 child tickets that were sold.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of child tickets that were sold.
Let y represent the number of adult tickets that were sold.
At the city museum, child admission is $5.40 and adult admission is $9.10. A total sales of $1079.10 was made on Monday. This means that
5.4x + 9.1y = 1079.1 - - - - - - - - - -1
On Monday, three times as many adult tickets as child tickets were sold. This means that
y = 3x
Substituting y = 3x into equation 1, it becomes
5.4x + 9.1 × 3x = 1079.1
5.4x + 27.3x = 1079.1
32.7x = 1079.1
x = 1079.1/32.7
x = 33
y = 3x = 3 × 33
y = 99

1
Step-by-step explanation:
5-3x=2
5-3(1)=2
2+3=5
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Ratio = 4/7 : 1/8

= 32 : 7

= 7 : 32
Ratio 4/7 over 1/8 is the multiplicative inverse of the ratio 1/8 over 4/7
