To solve this we can make it into an equation, which looks like this

y = 2x (for Rebecca)
y = x + 10 (for Alice)

The we subtract one equation from the other to solve

0 = x - 10
10 = x
x = 10

Now we replace x in whichever equation and we get 20

So, each girl will read 20 books for them to be at the same book.

Hope this helps, remember that Jesus loves you

The drama club sold bags of candy and cookies to raise money for the spring show. Bags of candy cost $5.50 and bags of cookies c
vaieri [72.5K]

Let's assume

the number of bags of candy =x

the number of bags of cookies =y

There were 5 more bags of cookies sold than candy

so, we get

y=x+5

Bags of candy cost $5.50

so, total cost of candy is

=5.50x

bags of cookies cost $3.50

so, total cost of cookies is

=3.50y

so,

total cost = (total cost of candy)+(total cost of cookies)

we get

total cost =5.50x+3.50y

so, we can plug

5.50x+3.50y=53.50

now, we can plug y

5.50x+3.50(x+5)=53.50

5.5x\cdot \:10+3.5\left(x+5\right)\cdot \:10=53.5\cdot \:10

55x+35\left(x+5\right)=535

55x+35x+175=535

90x+175=535

90x+175-175=535-175

90x=360

x=4

now, we can find y

y=x+5

y=4+5

y=9

so,

the number of bags of candy =4

the number of bags of cookies =9............Answer

O<br> What is the exact circumference of the circle?<br> 3.14<br> 4<br> 7<br> pi
kow [346]
The answer is 4pi because the formula to find the circumference is C = 2 pi r. this question is asking for the terms of pi which means you remove the pi from the formula and solve it with out it. the radius is 2 because of the 2 units on the graph is halfway of the circle. you would just multiply 2 x 2 and get 4. after that you put the pi on the end of the 4. so the answer is C. (4pi)
