Write an equation system based on the problem
For an instance, e stands for the price of a carton of eggs, and b stands for the price of a loaf of bread
"Kate bought 3 cartons of eggs and 5 loaves of bread for $30.07" could be written as 3e + 5b = 30.07 (first equation)
"Melissa bought 2 cartons of eggs and 2 loaves of bread for $14.74" could be written as 2e + 2b = 14.74 (second equation)
Solve the equation system using elimination method
Eliminate b to find e. To eliminate b, we should equalize the coefficient of b.
3e + 5b = 30.07 (multiplied by 2)
2e + 2b = 14.74 (multiplied by 5)
-------------------------------------------
6e + 10b = 60.14
10e + 10b = 73.70
------------------------- - (substract)
-4e = -13.56
e = -13.56/-4
e = 3.39
The price for a carton of eggs is $3.39

Step-by-step explanation:
First you find out how many words in the paper and then divide it by how many minutes to get your answer
Answer:
x = 105
Step-by-step explanation:
the sum of all interior angles of any four-sided figure has 360 degrees
∡F and ∡H are equal
add all four expressions and set them equal to 360
x + (x + 5) +( x + 5) + (140 - x) = 360
combine like terms
2x + 150 = 360
2x = 210
x = 105

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find the answer, let's work backwards to find the original. We have to do the opposite to get to the Raju's age. We will start with his fathers age. (44) Then we will subtract five from it so that it will be divisible by three.
44 - 5 = 39
Then we just have to divide by 3.
44/3 = 13
His age is 13 years old.
