Step-by-step explanation:
45 = (x) + (x + 1) + (x + 2)
45 = 3x + 3
- 3
42 = 3x
/3
14 = x
45 = 14 + (14 + 1) + (14 + 2)
45 = 14 + 15 + 16
The ages of the 3 friends are 14, 15, and 16.
190/5= rate per hour 38
38 (rate per hour)*48 (given hours)= 1824 quarts
38(rate per hour)* 24 (hours in a day)= 912 quarts per day
or
1824(quarts made in two days (48 hours))/2=912 quarts per day
Write an equation system based on the problem
For an instance, e stands for the price of a carton of eggs, and b stands for the price of a loaf of bread
"Kate bought 3 cartons of eggs and 5 loaves of bread for $30.07" could be written as 3e + 5b = 30.07 (first equation)
"Melissa bought 2 cartons of eggs and 2 loaves of bread for $14.74" could be written as 2e + 2b = 14.74 (second equation)
Solve the equation system using elimination method
Eliminate b to find e. To eliminate b, we should equalize the coefficient of b.
3e + 5b = 30.07 (multiplied by 2)
2e + 2b = 14.74 (multiplied by 5)
-------------------------------------------
6e + 10b = 60.14
10e + 10b = 73.70
------------------------- - (substract)
-4e = -13.56
e = -13.56/-4
e = 3.39
The price for a carton of eggs is $3.39
