Answer:
- 3 big bucks
- 6 little bucks
- 17 does
Step-by-step explanation:
Let B, L, D represent the numbers of big bucks, little bucks, and does, respectively.
B + L + D = 26 . . . . . . total bagged
D = 5 + 2L . . . . . . . . . 5 more does than twice the number of little bucks
B = L/2 . . . . . . . . . . . . half as many big bucks as little bucks
__
We can substitute for B and D in the first equation:
L/2 + L + (5 +2L) = 26
7/2L = 21 . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 5, collect terms
L = 6 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 2/7
D = 5 + 2·6 = 17
B = 6/2 = 3
The party bagged 3 big bucks, 6 little bucks and 17 does.
Solution:
<u>We know that:</u>
- Given equation: 1/4(x - 2) = 3 - (x + 1/6)
<u>Simplify the distributive property.</u>
- 1/4(x - 2) = 3 - (x + 1/6)
- => x/4 - 2/4 = 3 - x - 1/6
<u>Further simplify both sides.</u>
<u>Subtract 17/6 both sides.</u>
- x/4 - 2/4 - 17/6 = 17/6 - 17/6 - x
- => x/4 - 6/12 - 34/12 = -x
- => x/4 - 40/12 = -x
<u>Subtract x/4 both sides.</u>
- x/4 - x/4 - 40/12 = -x - x/4
- => -40/12 = -5x/4
<u>Use cross multiplication.</u>
<u>Divide -60 both sides.</u>
- -160/-60 = -60x/-60
- => x = 160/60 = 2 40/60 = 2 2/3
