Okay, let's represent the price of a bed sheet with 'b' and a towel with 't':
54b + 50t = 923
38b + 61t = 791.50
Now, if we subtract both sides by 54b (on the first equation), we get this:
50t = 923 - 54b
Divide both sides by 50:
t = 18.46 - 1.08b
Now that we know this, we can move on to the 2nd equation:
38b + 61t = 791.50
Input the variable 't':
38b + 61(18.46 - 1.08b) = 791.5
38b + 1126.06 - 65.88b = 791.5
38b - 65.88b = 791.5 - 1126.06
Simplify:
-27.88b = -334.56
Because both sides are negative, we can turn it into a positive:
27.88b = 334.56
b = 334.56/27.88
b = 12
Now that we know that b = 12, we can easily input it into any equation:
648 + 50t = 923
50t = 275
t = 5.5
One bed sheet costs $12 and one towel costs $5.50
Option C is the answer.
I believe you can do x + 2.7 = 16.
I took geometry last year and those arrow things are basically saying the line is the same if they have the same number of arrows. Using that logic, you can equal them out and find X.
Your answer is 16 - 2.7
(13.3)
You first have to make an simple equation.
= How many pennies
= How many quarters
After that, since a penny is 5 Cents and a quarter is 25 Cents, we make the equation as:
(cents)
To write the whole entire thing in an equation is:
Since I brought the x from the left to right, we change the positive "" to negative ""
To bring the '' to , we get rid of the ""s from both equations.
Now, you are left with the simplified equation:
Now you find the .
= 28
Conclude:
So the y was the quarter and the x was the pennies.
Quarters = 13
Pennies = 28
