◆ Define the variables:
Let the calorie content of Candy A = a
and the calorie content of Candy B = b
◆ Form the equations:
One bar of candy A and two bars of candy B have 774 calories. Thus:
a + 2b = 774
Two bars of candy A and one bar of candy B contains 786 calories
2a + b = 786
◆ Solve the equations:
From first equation,
a + 2b = 774
=> a = 774 - 2b
Put a in second equation
2×(774-2b) + b = 786
=> 2×774 - 2×2b + b = 786
=> 1548 - 4b + b = 786
=> -3b = 786 - 1548
=> -3b = -762
=> b = -762/(-3) = 254 calorie
◆ Find caloric content:
Caloric content of candy B = 254 calorie
Caloric content of candy A = a = 774 - 2b = 774 - 2×254 = 774 - 508 = 266 calorie
Answer:
a) x = -10
b) x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
a)
2(x + 3) = x - 4
2x + 6 = x - 4
2x - x = -4 - 6
x = -10
b)
4(5x - 2) = 2(9x + 3)
20x - 8 = 18x + 6
20x - 18x = 6 + 8
2x = 14
x = 7
Answer:
Your answer is 37
Step-by-step explanation:
Caanan is 62 miles away and since he drives at 50 miles per hour, and if it is 2:30 then 30 minutes is half a hour, which means you divide 50 in half by 2 and get 25. After you do that then you subtract 62 and 25 to get your answer 37. Have a good day!!! :)
X=2
because if you subtract 3x on both sides you end up with x=2 <span />
