Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know that Ivan finished all his science problems (3) we know that there are only math problems remaining

substract the science problems from the total 43-3=40

And now we can determine the amount of math problems

4/5 = 40/x where x is the total amount of math problems Ivan was assigned

cross multiply

4x = 5*40

4x=200

isolate the variable

4x/4 = 200/4

x=50

So Ivan was assigned a total of 50 math problems

(Note*) since there are 40 math problems finished 40/50 is equal to 4/5. Just a tip if you don't want to do the whole calculation

Hope this helps!

Assign two variables for each problem, and write the equations. Do not solve.

Price of boots is represented as x, price of tennis shoes is represented as y. x-y=44.38 x+y=196.12 Isolate x. (Or y, if you wanted to) x=y+44.38 x=196.12-y Set them equal to each other. y+44.38=196.12-y Solve for y. Then plug it in to either of the two original equations to find x. x=120.24 y=75.86 Note: This is assuming that the boots are more expensive than the tennis shoes. If the tennis shoes are more expensive than the boots, then the prices would be switched. I didn't find this clear in your question.
