Answer:
500/31.25=16
Step-by-step explanation:
The school bought 16 calculators
Simplifying
25x + -15 = 2y
Reorder the terms:
-15 + 25x = 2y
Solving
-15 + 25x = 2y
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '15' to each side of the equation.
-15 + 15 + 25x = 15 + 2y
Combine like terms: -15 + 15 = 0
0 + 25x = 15 + 2y
25x = 15 + 2y
Divide each side by '25'.
x = 0.6 + 0.08y
Simplifying
x = 0.6 + 0.08y
Answer:
7 & 13
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the first number be x
2nd number = 8 less than 3 times the other
2nd number = 3x - 8
Their sum = 20
X + 3x - 8 = 20
4x -8 = 20
Collect like terms
4x = 20+8
4x = 28
Divide both sides by 4
4x/4 = 28/4
X = 7
First number = 7
2nd number = 3x - 8
= 3(7) - 8
= 21 -8
= 13.
Therefore the numbers are 7 and 13
