Recall that
. So we can add twice the first equation to the second one to get
Since
, we have
so
If
, then
If
, then
So the solution set is
If you're solving for W, your answer is w = 2 1/6
First, we would simplify our fractions:
w + 2/3 = 2 5/6 =
w + 2/3 = 17/6
Lastly, we subtract 2/3 on both sides of the equation:
w + 2/3 - 2/3 = 17/6 - 2/3 =
w = 13/6 or w = 2 1/6

Answer:
Tara's current expression finds how much the school will be keeping. 50 x 2/5 (also written as 50 x 0.4) totals out as 20. $20 is 2/5 of $50. The expression that Tara SHOULD have written to find how much goes to the candle company would be 50 x 3/5 (also written as 50 x 0.6), as this adds up to 30. $30 is 3/5 of $50.
Step-by-step explanation:
50/5 = 10 which means that 1/5 of 50 = 10.
2/5 of 50 ($20) is kept by the school. This is what Tara's expression finds. This means that $30 is sent to the candle company, and can be found with the expression 50 x 3/5.
The decimals are created by dividing the numerator of the fraction by the denominator (I find it easier to do math with decimals).
