Area in ft sq. × cost per ft sq.
Answer:
35 pounds of tea for 80 cents.
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation::
value + value = value
80x + 60(50-x) = 74*50
80x + 60*50 - 60x = 74*50
20x = 14*50
x = 35 lbs (amt. of 80 cent tea to use)
50-x = 15 lbs (amt. of 60 cent tean to use)
Answer:
the previous population was 62,000.
Step-by-step explanation:
The current population of a city = 83,700
The population of a city has increased by 35% since it was last measured.
We have to calculate the previous population before increasing 35%.
Let the previous population be p
p +(35% × p) = 83,700
p + 0.35p = 83,700
1.35p = 83,700
p =
p = 62,000
Therefore, the previous population was 62,000.
Answer:
B (5, 13)
Step-by-step explanation:
9x + 4y = 97
9x + 6y = 123
To solve by elimination, we want to <em>eliminate</em> a variable. To do this, we must make one variable cancel out.
First, we can see that both equations have 9x. To cancel out x, we must make <em>one</em> of the 9x's <em>negative</em>. To do this, multiply <em>each term</em> in the equation by -1.
-1(9x + 6y = 123)
-9x - 6y = -123
This is one of your equations. Set it up with your other given equation.
9x + 4y = 97
-9x - 6y = -123
Imagine this is one equation. Since every term is negative, you will be subtracting each term.
9x + 4y = 97
-9x - 6y = -123
___________
0x -2y = -26
-2y = -26
To isolate y further, divide both sides by -2.
y = 13
Now, to find x, plug y back into one of the original equations.
9x + 4(13) = 97
Multiply.
9x + 52 = 97
Subtract.
9x = 45
Divide.
x = 5
Check your answer by plugging both variables into the equation you have not used yet.
-9(5) - 6(13) = -123
-45 - 78 = -123
-123 = -123
Your answer is correct!
