X = Lilys weight
x + 34 = Arthurs weight
4x - 180 = combined weight
x + x + 34 = 4x = 180
2x + 34 = 4x - 180
-2x -2x
_________________
34 = 2x -180
+180 + 180
_______________
214 = 2x
107 = x which is Lily's weight
141 = x + 34 which is Arthur's weight
The total weight is 248
which is the answer that you get when you do 4(107) = 180 or
428 -180 = 248
To answer this item, we are instructed that the price of the ticket for the children is equal to x. Since, we are also given that this is 5.75 less than the price of tickets for the adults, we may express this as follows,
x = n - 5.75
n is the price of ticket for the adults. This can be calculated by transposing 5.75 to the other side of the equation,
n = x + 5.75
The answer is the third choice.
Amy: (3 pages/min)(x min) + 9 pages
Sam: (2 pages/min)(x min) + 47 pages
Equate these: 3x+9 = 2x + 47
Then x = 38. The two friends will have covered the same number of pages after 38 minutes. How many pages would that be? 3(38)+9 = 123 pages.
Answer:
£23
Explanation:
6x10=60
2x1.5=3
3.14x2^2=12.566
60-3-12.566=44.433
44.43/10=4.43
5 bags
5x4.60=23
=£23
The greatest common factor is 2
