Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>Set up equations (L= Lisa; M = Maria; A = April; J = Jim)</em>
L = 12M
A = 2J
<em>Substitute x for Maria and 6x for Jim</em>
L = 12x
A = 2(6x) = 12x
<em>So, you get:</em>
Maria = x
Jim = 6x
Lisa = 12x
April = 12x
Answer:
x + y = 15
0.5x + 0.65y = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
x = number of oranges
y = number of apples
total of apples and oranges is 15 so x + y = 15
total cost of apples and oranges is $9 so 0.5x + 0.65y = 9
Calculation
y = 15 - x
0.5x + 0.65(15-x) = 9
0.5x - 0.65x + 9.75 = 9
-0.15x = - 0.75
x = 5
y = 15 - x = 15 - 5 = 10
8 is the denominator in the division problem
