Step-by-step explanation:

Annie = x

Brianna = y

Carly = z

Now,

x + y + z = 105 ...(1)

Carly has sold ten more than three times Brianna's sales.

z = 10 + 3y ...(2)

Brianna sold five more than Annie.

y = 5 + x ...(3)

Now,

z = 10 + 3y

z = 10 + 3(5 + x)

z = 10 + 15 + 3x

z = 25 + 3x

Now,

x + y + z = 105

x + (5 + x) + 25 + 3x = 105

5x + 30 = 105

5x = 105 - 30

5x = 75

5x/5 = 75/5

x = 15

So,

y = 5 + x

y = 5 + 15

y = 20

Now,

z = 25 + 3x

z = 25 + 3(15)

z = 25 + 45

z = 70

Thus,

Annie Sold 15 boxes

Brianna Sold 20 boxes

Carly Sold 70 boxes

Consider the two properties that you would use to solve an equation like 3x + 5 = 26. Which of the following is true? The standa
gladu [14]
The subtraction property of equality: if we subtract one side of the equation then we also must subtract from the other side of the equation.
The division property of equality: if we divide one side of the equation by a number then we also must divide the other side by the same number.
For this equation:
3 x + 5 = 26
3 x + 5 - 5 = 26 - 5        ( the Subtraction Property of Equality )
3 x = 21
3 x : 3 = 21 : 3       ( the Division Property of Equality )
x = 7
Answer: C ) The standard method for solving an equation like 3 x + 5 = 26 is to use the Subtraction Property of Equality and then the Division Property of Equality.
