Make a system of equations and solve for each variable.
3m+8v=53
5m+2v=26
m= movie cost
v= game cost
multiply the bottom equation by 4(combination method)
3m+8v=53
20m+8v=104. Subtract
-17m = -51
m= 3
Plug back into one of the equations
5(3)+2v=26
15+2v=26
2v=11
v=5.5
m=$3
v=$5.5
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If I have 90 pounds shared between A, B, and C, then in a mathematical equation,
A + B + C = 90
However, we have way too many unknowns.
We are told that the ratio of A to B is 1 to 2, or
and cross multiplying,
2A = B or
We are also told that the ratio of B to C is 4 to 3, or
and cross multiplying,
3B = 4C or
Now we have everything in terms of B, so we will rewrite it like that:
, and
and
9B = 360 so
B = 40. If B is 40 and A is half of B, then A is 20.
Answer:
The answer is A.
Step-by-step explanation:
When you multiply by a negative number, you MUST change the sign.
