Answer:

lamp: $80
end table: $140

Step-by-step explanation:

If we let x and y represent the costs of a lamp and end table, respectively, the two purchases can be written as ...

3x +2y = 520

2x -y = 20

These equations can be solved many ways. If we use "elimination", we can add twice the second equation to the first to eliminate y:

(3x +2y) +2(2x -y) = (520) +2(20)

7x = 560 . . . . simplify

x = 80 . . . . . . divide by 7

y = 2x -20 = 2(80) -20 = 140

The cost of a lamp is $80; the cost of an end table is $140.

ollegr [7]

Answer:

D. 5/3

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{1/6+1/2+1/3+x}{4} =2/3$

$1/6+1/2+1/3+x=8/3$

$x=8/3-1/6-1/2-1/3$

$x=8/3-1/6-3/6-2/6$

$x=8/3-6/6$

$x=16/6-6/6=10/6$

simplified

$x=5/3$

Hope this helps
