Let c and n represent the numbers of pencil and pen boxes, respectively
.. 3c +2n = 6.00
.. 2c +4n = 8.00
You can halve the second equation and subtract it from the first to get
.. (3c +2n) -(c +2n) = 6.00 -4.00
.. 2c = 2.00
.. c = 1.00
Then
.. 1.00 +2n = 4.00 . . . . . half the original second equation with c filled n
.. 2n = 3.00
.. n = 1.50
A box of pencils costs $1.00; a box of pens costs $1.50.
The given equation is an equation of a circle where the number after the equal sing is the radius squared.
To find the radius take the square root.
Radius = SQRT(169)
Radius = 13 units.
Step-by-step explanation:
Right, okay, so this is a bit of a weird one. Let's go step by step.
"Today, 6 friends went out for lunch." = The number 6 is gonna be in our equation somewhere.
"Their total bill was $27.60" = so is the number 27.6
"They decided to split the bill equally" = 27.6 "split equally" (aka divided by) 6 friends is 4.6
"each paid with a $10 bill" = This is where it gets a lil weird. So, if they divided the bill among them, none of their amounts are gonna be anywhere near ten dollars. This is one of those questions that wouldn't really happen in real life. People would probably use fives instead, but whatever. So a number we'll be using for something is 10.
"How much money will each person get back?" = So we have to find the amount they all paid (10) minus the amount each one had to pay (4.6).
To put it all into a full equation...
10 - ( 27.6 / 6 )
Divide.
10 - 4.6
Subtract.
5.4
Put back into money form.
$5.40
Answer:
Each person will get back $5.40.
Associative property Says that you can add or multiply regardless of how the numbers are group
