We are going to make simultaneous equations.
x will be our $3 ice cream and y will be our $5 ice cream
Equation1 ---- x + y = 50 (the sum of all the ice creams they sell)
Equation 2 ---- 3x + 5y = 180 Sum of all the $3 and $5 ice creams is $180
Since we can't solve for both variables we will put one of the variables in terms of the other.
Take x+y=50 and subtract y from both sides. (I could have done subtracted x - it did not matter). Now we have x= ₋ y +50 (negative y +50)
Now I am going to take equation 2 and replace the x with -y +50
3 (-y +50) + 5y = 180
Now I will use the distributive law on the 3 and what's in the parentheses:
-3y + 150 + 5y = 180
Now I will combine like terms (the -3y and the 5y)
2y + 150 = 180
Now subtract 150 from both sides of the equation
2y = 30
Divide both sides by 2
and get y= 15 They sold 15 ice creams that cost $5 each
Since equation 1 is x+y=50 we can replace y with 15
x + 15 = 50 Now subtract 15 from both sides x = 35
Since x represents the $3 ice creams, they sold 35 of those.
Check:
35 X 3 = $105
15 x 5 = + <u>75
</u> $180
Answer:
Options: A, B, and C correctly solve for x.
Step-by-step explanation:
A).
= 
Multiplying both sides by 2 gives;
5x = 15
x = 15 ÷ 5 = 3
∴ This option correctly solve for x.
B).
x + 
= 7
x = 7 - = 
∴ This option correctly solve for x.
C).
x + 3 = 
x = 
But the option give x as 5/6 hence this option does not correctly solve for x.
D).
5x = 11/2
x = 11/2 ÷ 5 = 11/2 × 1/5 = 11/10
But the option gives x as 10/11 so it does not correctly solve for x.
Answer:
The team made x<u><</u>53 points total.
Step-by-step explanation:
1/4+1/10 is 7/20 or 0.35 in decimal form. If they both together scored 21 points then you can add another 7/20 (21 points) and have 14/20 (42 points). You have 6/20 more left. If you can solve what 1/20 could be then you would find the answer. Does this helps?
Answer:
A. milliliters B. 8 fluid ounces
Step-by-step explanation:
An eyedropper is very small and can only hold a small amount. You can eliminate 2 from the start: millimeter and meter. These two are use for measuring distance not volume. ex.) I walked 2 meters. A liter is too big for an eyedropper. ex.) 1 liter of soda.
A glass full of juice would be 8 fuild ounces because a glass is basically a cup. A 8 gallons is too big, and a 8 tablespoons is too small. ex.) gallon of milk and tablespoon of sugar. 8 cups is too big because a glass is about 1 cup. 8 fluid ounces = 1 cup
5 million is greater than 152000 because 5 million = 5,000,000 and that is larger than 152000 (only 152 thousand; 5 million is 5000 thousands)
