After understanding the problem, formulate equations to determine the unknown. Let x be the price of one book. Equating Alana&Petra's expense with Angus' would be

5x + 4x +5 = 19x - 10

The 5 in the left side is needed because Angus' expense is $5 more. Also, the 10 on the right side represents the $10 discount. Solving the equation,

19x = 9x = 5+10
10x = 15
x = $1.5

Therefore, the book costs $1.5.

mel-nik [20]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  • 4 3-point baskets
  • 7 2-point baskets

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of 2-point baskets Nicoli made. Then (x -3) is the number of 3-point baskets. The total number of points is ...

  2x +3(x -3) = 5x -9 = 26

  5x = 35 . . . . . . add 9

  x = 7 . . . . . . . divide by 5

  (x -3) = 4 . . . find the number of 3-point baskets

Jokic made 7 2-point baskets and 4 3-point baskets.
