When an equation is in standard form, x isn't negative so she should divide everything by a negative 1 to change it into a positive equation.
Answer:
26 candy bars and 12 sodas
Step-by-step explanation:
This problem can be solved by a simple system of equations
I am going to call x the number of candy bars that Sally bought and y the number of sodas that Sally bought.
The fact that she bought 38 itens means the x + y = 38.
She spent $50.38. The value she spent is the sum of the number of candy bars multplied by the value of the candy bar and the number of sodas multiplied by value of a soda. So 1.25x + 1.49y = 50.38
So we have to solve the following system:
1)x + y = 38
2)1.25x + 1.49y = 50.38
From 1), we have that x = 38 - y. I am going to replace it in 2)
1.25(38-y) + 1.49y = 50.38
-1.25y + 1.49y = 50.38 - 47.5
0.24y = 2.88
y = 12.
Sally bought 12 sodas.
In 1: x = 38-y = 38-12 = 26
Sally bourght 26 candy bars
Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
First you need to multiply both sides of the equation by -6/5
-6/5 × (-5/6x) = -6/5 × -10/3
Then you need to calculate and reduce. First, you'll reduce the numbers with the greatest common divisor, 6.
1/5 × 5x = -6/5 × (-10/3)
then reduce the greatest common divisor, 5
x = -6/5 × (-10/3)
Then multiply (multiplying two negatives equals a positive)
x = 6/5 × 10/3
reduce the greatest common divisor, 3
x = 2/5 × 10
reduce the greatest common divisor, 6
x = 2 × 2
x = 4
(i know this is confusing, sorry)
Y=9.25 because inorder to solve this we need to first take 5*.3 which equals 1.5 now that we have this we can move on we now have the equation 1.5 + 2y = 20 so now we need to continue working on getting y by it self so we subtract 1.5 from each side and then that leaves us with 2y=18.5 now we divide by 2 which leaves us with y=9.25 enjoy=)
the answer is 1 and 4
Start by subtracting, so on #1 subtract 5-8, 8-11, 11-14
then go up to x, -2--1, -1-0, 0-1
