The two problems are almost identical: you have to set up a system, and then solve it.
In the first case, let
and
be, respectively, the number of girls and boys.
We know that
(the number of girls in the Spanish Club is four more than twice the number of boys). Also, we know that
(there are 61 students in total).
So, we have the system

We can use the first equation to substitute in the second

And then solve for
:

For the second problem, let
and
be the number of pins knocked down by, respectively, Carrie and John. Just like before, we have the system
And you can solve it in the very same way we solved the previous one.
Answer:
here is the correct answer
Answer is 11w-6
Add all the like terms. So all with the w’s which is how I got 11 and then 6 stays the same hence the -6
6000 - 1800 = 4200
4200/4 = 1050
so she donated 25% to charity
Answer:
x
19/6
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Multiply both sides by 6 (the LCM of 6,3)
5/2 + 3-x <= 2(x-2)
2. Simplify 5/2+3-x to 11/2-x
11/2 - x<=2 (x-2)
3. Expand.
11/2-x<= 2x-4
4. Add x to both sides.
11/2<= 2x-4+x
5. Simplify 2x-4+x to 3x-4.
11/2<=3x-4
6. Add 4 to both sides.
11/2+4<=3x
7. Simplify 11/2+4 to 19/2
19/2<=3x
8. Divide both sides by 3
19/2 /3 <=x
9. Simplify 19/2 /3 to 19/2*3
19/2*3<=x
10. Simplify 2*3 to 6
19/6<=x
11. Switch sides.
x>= 19/6
Hope this helps!
