Set up an equation for each store by multiplying the cost of the basketball by the number of basketballs bought (b) and add the cost of the hoop:

Hoops House: total = 20b + 200

Baller Basement: total = 15b + 250

Now to solve for b, set the two equations equal to each other:

20b + 200 = 15b + 250

Subtract 15b from both sides:

5b + 200 = 250

Subtract 200 from both sides:

5b = 50

Divide both sides by 5:

B = 10

The answer is 10 basketballs

Sup yall<br><br> solve 4p-7r=pq+16 for p

kykrilka [37]

Answer:

p = (7r+16) / (4-q)

Step-by-step explanation:

4p - 7r = pq + 16

Add 7r to both sides.

4p = pq + 16 + 7r

Subtract pq from both sides.

4p - pq = 7r + 16

Factor out p from the left side.

p(4 - q) = 7r + 16

Divide both sides by (4 - q).

p = (7r + 16)/(4 - q)

The 7r and the 16 could be in either order, like 7r+16 or 16+7r. You could show that the answer is a fraction with 7r+16 on top and 4-q on the bottom. If you are writing or on the computer selecting a fraction that is stacked you don't need need the parenthesis.
