Answer:
115
Step-by-step explanation:
set up the equation to find x:
GFN+NFG=GFE
(4x+10)+(14x+3)=157
calculate for x
you'll get x=8
put 8 into NFE
14(8)+3=115
The unknown number is n. So n is the unknown variable in the equation.
In order to write an equation in which n is included we must know some dependence of n with other values.
We know that <span>the difference of three times a number and 44 is −19. So, we can write:
3*n-44=-19
3*n=-19+44
3*n=25
n=25/3

Answer:
The total cost of 14 onions and 16 potatoes will be £6.10
Step-by-step explanation:
Let onion be n and potato by p
20n = £3.00
1n = £3.00/20
= £0.15
25p = £6.25
1p = £6.25/25
= £0.25
The cost of 1 onion is £0.15, and 1 potato is £0.25
Then the cost of 14 onion and 16 potatoes together will given as
14n + 16p
substituting the values of n and p, we will have
14*0.15 + 16*0.25
2.1 + 4
= £6.10
