You are buying 2 items so let's use two different variables to represent each:
p = number of tubes of paint
b = number of disposable brushes
cost = price per item × number of items
Equations from information given:
4p + 0.50b = 20 ← from the first 2 sentences
2p = b ← if there are twice as many brushes as paint tubes you need 2 times paint tubes to equal number of brushes
Solve the problem by using substitution... 1b equals 2p so replace b with that:
4p + 0.50(2p) = 20
4p + 1p = 20 ← 0.50 is half so half of 2p is 1p
5p = 20 ← combine like terms
p = 4 ← divide both sides of the equation by 5
Recall the equation 2p = b replace p with 4
2(4) = b
8 = b
ANSWER:
You purchased 4 tubes of paint and 8 disposable brushes.
If the equal is 55x + 35y = 200
x: time-driven at 55 miles/hour
y: time-driven at 35 miles/hour
If the car spends 2.5 hours at 35 miles per hour, then it drove:
55x + 35(2.5) = 200
55x =35
y = 112.5
There the drive spent about 2.5-hour driving at 55 mph.
Hope it helps!
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume of a prism can be found by multiplying the area of the base by the height. It is the formula V = B*h. Here B = 108. Substitute and solve.
V = 108*8 = 864
This is answer A.
Hi there!
Since we have 2 variables in the given equation, and you only want to solve for one, the other will end up in your answer.
Step 1) Add 8y to both sides.
Step 2) Divide both sides by 6.
Final Answer -
Hope this helps! :D
The answer is 1 3/4 or 1.75 depends on how u want it
