Answer/Step-by-step explanation:
4x - 7 = -2x + 12 (Given)
Add 2x to both sides
4x - 7 + 2x = -2x + 12 + 2x (Addition property of equality)
6x - 7 = 12 (Simplication)
Add 7 to both sides
6x - 7 + 7 = 12 + 7 (Addition property of equality)
6x = 19 (Simplification)
Divide both sides by 6
(Division property of equality)
Answer: I'm pretty sure its a or the first one ^w^
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of pounds of the $1.35 beans. The cost of those beans is $1.35 * x, or 1.35x.
<span>Let y be the number of pounds of the $1.05 beans. The cost of those beans is $1.05 * y, or 1.05y. </span>
<span>We know that 120 pounds of the mix sells for $1.15/pound, for a total of 120 * 1.15 = $138. </span>
<span>x + y = 120 </span>
<span>1.35(x) + (1.05)y = 138 </span>
<span>We can rewrite the first as </span>
<span>x = -y + 120 </span>
<span>Now we can substitute (-y + 120) in for (x) in the second equation, because we just proved they're equal. </span>
<span>1.35(x) + 1.05(y) = 138 </span>
<span>1.35(-y + 120) + 1.05y = 138 </span>
<span>-1.35y + 162 + 1.05y = 138 </span>
<span>-0.3y + 162 = 138 </span>
<span>-0.3y = -24 </span>
<span>y = 80 </span>
<span>And since x + y = 120, that means x = 40. </span>
<span>Check: </span>
<span>40 pounds of x at $1.35 costs 40 * 1.35, or $54. </span>
<span>80 pounds of y at $1.05 costs 80 * 1.05, or $84. </span>
<span>Do those add up to our target total, according to the question, of 120 * 1.15 = $138? </span>
It’d be a binomial because there are two different terms (a and b)
Answer:
he would make 12 phone calls
Step-by-step explanation
so he talks three minutes each time he is on the phone so divide 37 by 3 to get 12.33 with the .33 repeated but you have to round down to 12 because you have to have a whole number for the calls but even if the number was 12.79 you cant round up to 13 because the number has to be over 13
