6 0

Answer:

220 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

.18m + 11d = 61.60

d = 2

.18m + 22 = 61.60

Subtract 22 from both sides

.18m = 39.60

Divide both sides by .18

m = 220

Alexandra and Austin applied to the same university. They looked up the average SAT score of students admitted to that universit

Deffense [45]

Answer:

x= (y+40)-(y-330)

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the information provided, the difference in their scores would be the result of subtracting Austin's SAT score from Alexandra's SAT score.

Then, as Alexandra's SAT score was 40 points above the average score this means that you have to add 40 to the average score to get her result. Also, as Austin's SAT score was 330 points below the average score, this means that you have to subtract 330 from the average score. With this you can write the expression:

x= difference in their scores

y= average score

x= (y+40)-(y-330)

10 3/9- 10 2/5 Im to lazy to do it please help me out.

coldgirl [10]

Answer:

$\boxed{ \ - \frac{3}{45} }$

Step-by-step explanation:

10 3/9 - 10 2/5

we need to convert mixed fractions to improper fractions

$10 \frac{3}{9} = \frac{10 \times 9 + 3}{9} = \frac{93}{9}$

$10 \frac{2}{5} = \frac{10 \times 5 + 2}{5} = \frac{52}{5}$

Now, we have 93/9 - 52/5

We need to equate the denominators, before subtracting them.

$\frac{93}{9} - \frac{52}{5} = \frac{93 \times 5}{45} - \frac{52 \times 9}{45}$

$\frac{465}{45} - \frac{468}{45}$

$\frac{ - 3}{45}$

$\boxed{ - \frac{3}{45} }$

The result of 10 3/9- 10 2/5 is - 3/45

The price of one bag of popcorn is $3.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

x represent the cost of a bag of popcorn

y represent the cost of a drink.

According to given statement;

4x+12y=30 Eqn 1

x+6y=11.25 Eqn 2

Multplying Eqn 2 by 2

$2(x+6y=11.25)\\2x+12y=22.50\ \ \ Eqn\ 3$

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 1

$(4x+12y)-(2x+12y)=30-22.50\\4x+12y-2x-12y=7.50\\2x=7.50$

Dividing both sides by 2

$\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{7.50}{2}\\x=3.75$

4x+12y=30 and x+6y=11.25 can be used to find the price of one bag of popcorn and the price of one drink.

The price of one bag of popcorn is $3.75
