The 3 lbs of candy is irrelevant, so we can discard that. All you need to do is divide 147 by 26, which is 5.65 pieces of candy. Each student will get 5 pieces, with a few left over.
Subtract 4x from both sides
4x +2 = 7x - 13 would then simplify to
3x - 13 = 2 ( you can switch the problem around as long as you dont switch the variables around )
then you have to + 13 which simplifies to
3x = 15
then you divide by 3 which equals
x=5
Answer:
units
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter of a square is 4 times the length of one side.
The length of the sides of a square is given by the expression 
To find the perimeter, we multiply this expression by 4.
We expand to obtain:
This simplifies to:
Answer:
x=$59.69
Step-by-step explanation:
We can create a proportion to find the answer.
Thus, we get 4 hr/$39.79=6 hr/$x.
Cross multiplying gives us 4x=238.74, and solving for x gives us $59.685.
We can round to $59.69.
Answer:
b. (2, 5, 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Trying the offered choices seems the fastest way to find the answer. The second choice works in all equations, hence is the solution.
Another strategy you can use is to see if the equations are dependent. Here, it looks like adding twice the third equation to the other two eliminates at least the x- and y-variables. If that eliminates z, then there are infinite solutions. Instead, it gives the equation ...
7z = 21
z = 3 . . . . . divide by 7
This answer is consistent with choice B, confirming that answer and eliminating the other choices.
