Answer:
12 pounds
Explanation:
If you were to divide 12.24 from 12 you would get 1.02, which would be the cost of each pound.
Meanwhile, if you were to divide 8.24 from 8 you would get 1.03, which would be the cost of each pound.
So although its only a 1 cent difference and you are technically spending more by buying the 12 pounds, if it were to buy 8 pounds from the cost of each pound for the 12 pounds, you'd only be spending $8.16 vs $8.24.
Because you would multiply 1.02, which is the cost of each pound for 12, by 8 and you would get 8.16.
Hi there!
x - 3y = 9
x = 9 + 3y
-4x + y = 8
-4(9+3y) + y = 8
-36 - 12y + y = 8
-36 - 11y = 8
-11y = 44
-y = 4
y = -4
x - 3y = 9
x - 3(-4) = 9
x + 12 = 9
x = 21
So, your answers are y = -4 and x = 21.
Hope this helps!
Answer:2
Step-by-step explanation: two ones equal one two
Answer:
x = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
2(x-2) = 3(x+2)-8
Multiply the 2 and 3 out to the numbers in the parentheses. Don't multiply the 3 out to the -8 because it is outside of the parentheses.
2x-4 = 3x+6-8
Combine the 6 and -8
2x-4 = 3x-2
Subtract 2x from both sides
-4 = x-2
Add 2 to both sides
-2=x
