Answer:

2 cookies

Step-by-step explanation:

let c represent cookies, m represent muffins. set up a system of equations:

2c+3m=16

m=2c

(the top equation shows that cookies are $2 each, and muffins are $3, and that the total cost is $16. the bottom equation shows that Lori bought twice as many muffins as cookies).

then solve the system of equations by substitution, substituting 2c for m in the top equation:

2c+3(2c)=16

2c+6c=16

8c=16

c=2

this means that lori bought 2 cookies.

Answer:

2 cookies

Step-by-step explanation:

let c = no. of cookies

2c = no. of muffins

The cost for c cookies is 2c since each cookie was $2

and the cost of 2c muffins is 3(2c) = 6c since each muffing was $3

The total cost = 2c + 6c = 16

                                 8c  = 16

                                   c = 2

So, she bought 2 cookies and 4 muffins

Solve 4(4f-9)=-(2-f)
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

f = \frac{7}{15}

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 4(4f - 9) = -(2-f)               distribute the negative

2. 4(4f - 9) = -2 + f           Distribute the 4

3. 16f - 9 = -2 + f            Subtract f on both sides

4. 15f - 9 = -2                  Add 9 on both sides

5. 15f = 7                 Divide both equations by 15

6. \frac{15f}{15} = \frac{7}{15}  

f = \frac{7}{15}

What is 3 quarters of 20?
Ulleksa [173]
Well, one quarter of 20 is 5 (because 20 ÷ 4 = 5).  so, to find 3 quarters, we multiply 5 times 3.

5 × 3 = 15, so 3 quarters of 20 is 15.
