Answer:
1.53x−14.23
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>simplify: </em>
5.03x−8.03−(3.5x+6.2)
<em>Distribute the Negative Sign:</em>
=5.03x−8.03−1(3.5x+6.2)
=5.03x−8.03−1(3.5x)+(−1)(6.2)
=5.03x−8.03−3.5x−6.2
<em>Combine Like Terms:</em>
=5.03x−8.03+−3.5x−6.2
=(5.03x−3.5x)+(−8.03−6.2)
=1.53x−14.23

Answer:
94 boxes of samoas
131 boxes of thin mints
Step-by-step explanation:
m=mints
s=samoas
s+m=225 m=225-s
s(2.5)+m(3)=628
2.5s+3m=628
substitute for m
2.5s+3(225-s)=628
2.5s+675-3s=628
reduce
-0.5s=-47
s=94
m=131
Answer: There are 69 adults and 72 children went to the concert.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of adults, and y be the number of children.
x + y = 141
3.5x + 2.5y = 421.5
x + y =141
x = 141 - y
3.5(141 - y) + 2.5y = 421.5
493.5 - 3.5y + 2.5y = 421.5
493.5 - y = 421.5
-y = -72
y = 72
x + y = 141
x + 72 = 141
x = 69
