Answer:

3.95(3) + 8.95b = 47.65

11.85 + 8.95b = 47.65

Subtract 11.85 from both sides.

8.95b = 35.8

Divide 8.95 from both sides.

b = 4

Hugh bough 4 books.

Step-by-step explanation:

3.95(3) + 8.95b = 47.65

11.85 + 8.95b = 47.65

Subtract 11.85 from both sides.

8.95b = 35.8

Divide 8.95 from both sides.

b = 4

Find the value of z in the similar figures (round to the nearest tenth)

MrRa [10]

As they are similar figures,we can use the ratio of the side to find out the value of z.

The only side that both have the value indicated is 4 and 6,therefore we would use it to find the ratio.

The eqaution would be:
6/4 = z/8
3/2 = z/8
3×8 = 2z
z = 24/2
z = 12

Thus the value of z is 12.

Hope it helps!

The sum of one-fifth of a number and two is five

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us first write an equation where the unknown number is represented with variable x. <em>The sum of a fifth of x and two is five:</em>

$\frac{1}{5} x+2=5$

Great! Let's solve for x by isolating the variable.

$\frac{1}{5}x=3\\x=15$

<u>Therefore, the unknown number is 15.</u>
