These concepts become more clear when teachers use number disks instead of base ten blocks. Place value is a very important concept for elementary students because base ten is the foundation of our number system.
I believe you would first distribute within the parentheses and then make it so A and B are the only things on the left side and I and the other random characters are on the right.
Greetings from Brasil...
According to the statement of the question, we can assemble the following system of equation
X = 7 + 3Y i
X + Y = 75 ii
So, multiplying ii by -1 and adding with i
X = 7 + 3Y
- X - Y = - 75
- Y = 7 + 3Y - 75
4Y = 68
Y = 17
for X we will use ii:
X + Y = 75
X + 17 = 75
X = 58
The smaller number is: 17
Answer: a slice of pizza cost $1.25 and a 12-ounce cola cost $0.50.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let slice of pizza cost x and a 12-ounce cola cost y.
Then Sara's order cost: 2x+y=3
and Sydney's order cost: 3x+2y=4.75
From the first equation we have: y=3-2x and put this to the second equation:
3x+2(3-2x)=4.75
3x+6-4x=4.75
x=1.25
y=3-1.25*2=0.50
Answer: a slice of pizza cost $1.25 and a 12-ounce cola cost $0.50.
