Travis got 43 dollars
Robin collected 35 percent more so we can model this with
Travis + (Travis x .35)
43 + 15.05 =58.05
Jessica colelcted 20 percent less so
Travis - (Travis x .20)
43 - 8.6 = 34.3
34.4 + 58.05 + 43 = 135.45
C is the closest
The sum of two numbers
x + y = 21
x = smaller number
y = larger number
Larger Number = y = (2x -6)
Substitute (2x - 6) for y
x + y = 21
x + (2x - 6) = 21
3x - 6 = 21
3x = 21 + 6
3x = 27
3x / 3 = 27 / 3
x = 9
Smaller number = x = 9
Find the larger number by inserting 9 into (2x - 6)
(2x - 6)
(2(9) - 6)
18 - 6
12
So
x = 9
y =12
Check our answer by inserting x = 9 and y = 12 into x + y = 21
x + y =21
9 + 12 = 21
21 = 21
So since we have 21 = 21 we know our answer is correct.
Answer:
-9
Step-by-step explanation:
do distributive property first to eliminate the parenthesis.
5h + 22 - 2h = -5
combine like terms
3h + 22 = -5
move the 22 over by subtraction
3h = -27
divide
h = -9
