Answer:
bus = 43
van 12
Step-by-step explanation:
This can be solved using simultaneous equations
Let v represent the number of students that a van carries
Let b represent the number of students that a bus carries
the following equations can be derived from the question
3v + 2b = 122 eqn 1
5v + 3b = 189 eqn 2
Multiply eqn 1 by 5 and eqn 2 by 3
15v + 10b = 610 eqn 3
15v + 9b = 567 eqn 4
Subtract equation 4 from 3
b = 43
Substitute for b in equation 1
3v + 2(43) = 122
solve for v
v = 12
Answer:
(-2,2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
When you have exponents above a like term and they are being multiplied together, you add them.
For example:
So let's group like terms in the numerator:
We can add terms like in the example.
Let's rearrange the denominator.
Now we have:
Cancel like terms
4/8 = 1/2
= 1 So it cancels
= s Since s is raised to the -1 it goes on top and becomes s.
Now we combine everything back together:
Teri had 7/9 of a sandwich, you need to find a common denominator for 2/3. Multiply 2/3 by 3 which is 6/9. (6/9 is how much they ate) Then you subtract 7/9 by 6/9 (7/9-6/9=1/9)
Answer:1/9 of a yard
I hope this helped.. not much of a teacher hahah :)
Let the steaks = X and the salmon = y.
Set up two equations:
15x + 18y = 559.81
19x + 9y = 583.66
Now using the elimination method:
Multiply the second equation by -2, then add the equations together.
(15x+18y=559.81)
−2(19x+9y=583.66)
Becomes:
15x+18y=559.81
−38x−18y=−1167.32
Add these equations to eliminate y:
−23x=−607.51
Divide both sides by -23 to solve for x:
x= -607.51 = -23 = 26.413478
Now you have the cost for a steak.
To solve for the cost of the salmon, replace x with the value in the first equation and solve for y.
15(26.413478) + 18y = 559.91
396.202174 + 18y = 559.81
Subtract 396.202174 from both sides:
18y = 163.607826
Divide both sides by 18:
y = 163.607826 / 18
y = 9.089324
Round both x and Y to the nearest cent:
X (Steaks) =$26.41
Y (Salmon) = $9.09
