We need to write system of equations for this problem. Reading text we write 1 equation by 1.
first lets name our variables
x - Kiana cards
y - Gary cards
z - Monty cards
m - Willa cards
x = y-3 which we can write as y = x+3
z = x + 7
m = 2z
x + y + z + m = 74
I think easiest way to solve this is to express all variables in last equation and solve for x.
x + x+3 + x + 7+ 2x + 14= 74
5x = 50
x = 10
now we just calculate cards given to each friend
y = 13
z = 17
m = 34
X = price of the ingredients
so based on the proportion , we can write that :
Almonds needed = x = $ 12 x
peanut needed = 2x = 2x * $ 8 = $ 16x
raisins needed = 3x = 3x * $6 = $ 18x
Equation =
12x + 16x + 18x ≤ $ 23
46x = $23
x = $ 0.5
The pound of mix he can made :
0.5 * 1 pound of almond + 0.5 x * 2 pound of peanuts + 0.5 * 3 pound of raisins
= 3 Pound of mix
Answer:
x= 1
Step-by-step explanation:
2x1=2+3=5
Answer:
10 = 2y + 4
6 = 2y
y = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
18 = 10 + 2x
8 = 2x
x = 4
