39=3m-15
39+15=3m
54=3m
54/3=3m/3
m=18
Answer:
he can make 27 packages and will have 3 pens left over
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
shirt = x, pants: y
Katie equation: 3x + 2y = 80, Erin equation: 3x + 4y = 116
3x + 2y = 80
3x = 80 - 2y
x = 80/3 - 2y/3
3(80/3 - 2y/3) + 4y = 116
80 - 2y + 4y = 116
80 + 2y + 116
2y = 36
y = 18, pants cost $18
3x + 4(18) = 116
3x + 72 = 116
3x = 44
x = 14.66... (66 is repeating), shirts cost $14.66
check work:
Katie: 3(14.66) + 2(18) = 79.98 which is roughly 80.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
xy = 300
x + y = 50 Solve for y
y = 50 - x substitute into xy = 300
x(50 - x) = 300 Remove the brackets.
50x - x^2 = 300 Bring the left to the right.
0 = x^2 - 50x + 300
This is a quadratic. It will have 2 solutions.
a=1
b = - 50
c = 300
Put these into the quadratic equation.
It turns out that x has two values -- both plus
x1 = 42.03
x2 = 6.97
x1 + y1 = 50
42.03 + y = 50
y = 50 - 42.03
y = 7,97
(42.03 , 7.97)
====================
x2 + y2 = 50
6.97 + y2 = 50
y2 = 50 - 6.97
y2 = 43.03
(6.97 , 43.03)
here are the steps
1. you would take all the numbers and add them and u would get 18.
2. you want to then divide by 5 since that is how many numbers there are
3. your answer is then 3.6
