Answer:

There are 42 red colour socks and 44 green color socks

Step-by-step explanation:

Let there are r red socks and g green socks.

ATQ,

He has three times times as many red socks subtracted from four times as many green socks which he believes is 50 socks.

4g-3r=50 ....(1)

Half the number of green socks plus one-third of the number of red socks is 36.

\dfrac{g}{2}+\dfrac{r}{3}=36\\\\3g+2r=216\ .....(2)

Multiply equation (1) by 2 and equation (2) by 3.

8g-6r = 100 ....(3)

9g +6r = 648 ....(4)

Add equation (3) and (4)

8g-6r + 9g +6r = 100+648

17g = 748

g = 44

Put the value of g in equation (1).

4(44)-3r=50

176-3r = 50

176-50 = 3r

r = 42

Hence, there are 42 red colour socks and 44 green color socks.

MariettaO [177]

Answer:

2x - 0.4x ;

8x/5 ;

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of miles = x

Arlene:

Double number of miles = 2 * x = 2x

Subtract 20% of the result :

2x - 20% of 2x ;

2x - 0.4x

Raul:

Divides Number of miles by 5 ; x / 5

Multiplies result by 8 ;

8 * (x/5) = 8x /5

To know if expressions are equivalent :

Let x = 10 miles

Using Arlene's expression:

2x - 0.4x

x = 10

2(10) - 0.4(10) = 16

Using Raul's expression :

8x / 5

(8*10) / 5

80/5

= 16

Since they give the same result, we can conclude that the expression are equivalent
