5 skis and 8 skates
y=ski
x=skates
x=y+3
40y+50x=600
40y+50(y+3)=600
y=5
x=8

Let the number of pair of skis and skates bought be x and y respectively. So that,
40x+50y = 600

There are 3 more pairs of skates. Therefore,
y-3 = x=> y=x+3
Substituting,

40x+50(x+3) =600 => 40x+50x+150=600 => 90x=600-150 = 450
x= 450/90 = 5 pairs of skis
y= x+3 =5+3 = 8 pairs of skates

Answer: this is just algebra, so you just got to add 3 plus 12 and then add the X at the end cause you don't know it's value.


Step-by-step explanation:

In this case you are multiplying 3 times X so it would stay as 3 and just add 12 = 15 X

Hope I helped.

The least common denominator of 5/12 and -9/16 

The answer is 48.

Now, we have to change the numerators also to make this a equal fraction to the first ones we had.

5*4 = 20
12*4 = 48

20/48

-9*3 = -27
16*3 = 48

-27/48
