Hello!
We are given that each of the 5 alligators has 100 teeth. We can use the following equation to find the total number of teeth and, by extension, the total number of bite marks:
(100 teeth) × (5 alligators) = 500 teeth
We have now proven that the 5 alligators have a combined total of 500 teeth. Consequently, Sammy will have 500 bite marks.
I hope this helps!
The amount paid each month is 1050.
35,000 plus 20% is 42,000 because 20% of 35,000 is 7,000.
Next, divide 42,000 by 20, and you would get 1050.
From the first equation
6x - y = 1
6x - y - 1 = 0
6x - 1 = y
Substituting we get
4x - 3(6x - 1) = -11
