The equation of the line parallel to 5x+2y=12 and passes through the point (-2, 4) is equal to y= -5/2x - 1
160 $ = 100%
x $ = 70%
100 x = 11200
x = 112
160,00 - 112,00 = 48,00$
4x=6x-14
First isolate the variables onto one side and the numbers on the other so subtract 4x from both sides of the equation and add 14 to both sides of the equation to get 14=2x then you are going to want to completely isolate the variable so you divide 2 on both sides to get an answer of X=7
Yes; his answer is correct.
John can do this by multiple ways, but most likely he just remembered this one. Here are some ways.
1. He used his fingers; he put 1 finger, then another finger, and got 2 fingers up. The answer is 2.
2. He remembered it; usually Kindergarteners learn this and this is very easy to remember.
3. He used the things around him; I have 1 crayon then add another, how many do I have? 2.
Let
x-------> bags of <span>popcorn
</span>y-------> bags of hotdogs
we know that
2.50x+3y=200-------> equation 1
x=2y--------> equation 2
substitute 2 in 1
2.50*[2y]+3y=200--------> 5y+3y=200------> 8y=200-----> y=200/8
y=25
x=2y-----> x=2*25-----> x=50
the answer is
50 bags of popcorn
25 bags of hotdogs<span />
