Let the number that wll be added be x, then
-7/9 + x = 5
x = 5 + 7/9 = 5 7/9 or 52/9
Factors can be multiplied together to get the original number.
For example here are the factors of 66.
1 and 66. 2 and 33. 3 and 22. 6 and 11.
1 multiplied by 66 results in the original number 66.
2 multiplied by 33 results in the original number 66.
3 multiplied by 22 results in the original number 66.
<span>6 multiplied by 11 results in the original number 66.</span>
Create a system if equations to solve this.
First equation:
25m + 24e = 220
Second equation:
m + e = 9
Then you must solve the second equation for a variable.
Change m + e = 9 to e = 9 - m.
Then substitute (9 - m) for e in the first equation.
So 25m +24e = 220 becomes 25m + 24(9 - m) = 220.
Now you can solve the first equation because the only variable in it is m.
25m + 24(9 - m) = 220 (Original equation)
25m + 216 - 24m = 220 (Distribute)
m + 216 = 220 (Combine like terms)
m = 4 (Simplify)
Now plug in 4 for m in the second equation.
m + e = 9 (Original equation)
(4) + e = 9 (Substitute)
e = 5 (Simplify)
m represents Math Books and e represents English Books, so Nicole purchased 4 Math Books and 5 English Books.
