You are buying 2 items so let's use two different variables to represent each:
p = number of tubes of paint
b = number of disposable brushes
cost = price per item × number of items
Equations from information given:
4p + 0.50b = 20 ← from the first 2 sentences
2p = b ← if there are twice as many brushes as paint tubes you need 2 times paint tubes to equal number of brushes
Solve the problem by using substitution... 1b equals 2p so replace b with that:
4p + 0.50(2p) = 20
4p + 1p = 20 ← 0.50 is half so half of 2p is 1p
5p = 20 ← combine like terms
p = 4 ← divide both sides of the equation by 5
Recall the equation 2p = b replace p with 4
2(4) = b
8 = b
ANSWER:
You purchased 4 tubes of paint and 8 disposable brushes.
David can read 50 pages in 50 minutes.
(50 pages)/(50 minutes) = 1 page/minute
Since David reads 1 page per minute,
in 80 minutes David can read 80 pages.
Answer:
b
Step-by-step explanation:
because that is the correct answer believe me
The answer is B)x+y=y+x.
This is just changing the order of the numbers to get the same equation....\
So for example if I have 2+7 and I use the property of addition It would give me 2+7=7+2.
Pls mark brainliest if this helped!
28/4 = 7,
36/4 = 9,
Place the 7 over the 9 and you get 7/9!
