Step-by-step explanation:
If you assign variables to the problem, it can make things a lot simpler. Lets say chairs are x and tables are y. Therefore you have:
2x+6y=40
5x+3y=25
Now you can isolate the variable of one equation and put it into another (it doesn't matter which. I'm going to manipulate the top equation to plug into the bottom one).
2x=40-6y
x=20-3y
Now I plug into bottom equatioin:
5(20-3y) + 3y=25
100-15y+3y=25
100-12y=25
-12y=-75
y=$6.25
Now you can plug in y in either equation to get x.
2x+6(6.25)=40
37.5+2x=40
2x=2.5
x=1.25
So it costs $6.25 for each table and $1.25 for each chair. If you think about it, it would make sense for the table to cost more for the chair.
Answer:
Let's define the variable x as the number of apples in each bag.
We know that she bought 4 bags, then the total number of apples that she has is:
Apples = 4*x
Now she eats one apple for each bag, then she eats 4 apples, so she now has:
Apples = 4*x - 4
And we know that this is equal to 28, then:
4*x - 4 = 28
now we can solve this for x.
4*x = 28 + 4 = 32
x = 32/4 = 8
x = 8
There are 8 apples in each bag.
For the diagram part, by a small online search y found the image that you can see below.
The diagram that correctly represents this situation is diagram C, where x represents the number of apples in each bag.
