Question

Bill plans to buy school supplies and the following equation represents what he bought.

Answer 1

Answer:

1. 8

Explanation: 5x + 20(.50)=50

5x + 10=50. Now do 50-10 to get 40. So,

5x=40. Now divide 40/5 to get 8.

2. .5

5(8) + 20x=50. Now do 5*8

40 + 20x=50. Now, 50-40 to get

20x=10. And divide 10/20 to get .5

Answer 2

Answer:

1. x = 8

2. y = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Plug the function

5x + 20(0.50) = 50

= 5x + 10 = 50

Subtract 10 from both side

= 5x = 40

Divide 5 on both sides

= x = 8

2. Plug in the function

5(8) + 20y = 50

= 40 + 20y = 50

Subtract 40 on both sides

= 20y = 10

Divide 20 both sides

= y = 10/20 | 1/2
