Answer:
4/5 mile
Step-by-step explanation:
14/15 - 2/15 = 12/15 or 4/5
Answer:
35 hotdogs
Step-by-step explanation:
You are running a concession stand at a basketball game. You are selling hotdogs and sodas.
Let the number of hot dogs be represented by x
The number of soda be represented by y
You sold a total of 87 hotdogs and sodas combined
x + y = 87
x = 87 - y
Each hotdog cost $1.50 and each soda cost $0.50. At the end of the night you made a total of $78.50.
Hence we have the equation:
$1.50 × x + $0.50 × y = $78.50
1.50x + 0.50y = 78.50
Substitute 87 - y for x
1.50(87 - y) + 0.50y = 78.50
130.5 - 1.50y + 0.50y = 78.50
Collect like terms
- 1.50y + 0.50y = 78.50 - 130.50
-1.00y = -52
y = -52/-1
y = 52 sodas
How many hotdogs did you sell?
Using the equation:
x = 87 - y
x = 87 - 52
x = 35 hotdogs
Hence, you sold 35 hotdogs
45 degrees? I may be wrong. 360/8=45
18 and 35. The numbers whose sum 53 are 18 and 35.
The key to solve this problem is using a system of equations.
There are two numbers whose sum is 53. This number can be represented as x and y. So:
x + y = 53
Three times the smaller number is equal to 19 more than the larger. Let's set x as the smaller number and y the larger number. So:
3x = 19 + y
Clear y in both equations and let's use the equalization method to solve for x:
y = 53 - x and y = 3x - 19
Then,
53 - x = 3x - 19
53 + 19 = 3x + x ---------> 3x + x = 53 + 19 -------> 4x = 72
x = 72/4 = 18
To find y, let's substitute x = 18 in the equation x + y = 53
18 + y = 53 --------> y = 53 - 18
y = 35
