Answer: there were 854 buttons in bag a

Step-by-step explanation:

4342 = a + b + c

b = a + 18

c = 3b

4342 = a + (a + 18) + 3(a + 18)

4342 = a + a + 18 + 3a + 54

4342 = 5a + 72

-72 -72

4270 = 5a

/5 /5

854 = a

The sum of two numbers is 47 and the difference is 7. what are the numbers?
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

27, 20

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 47

x - y = 7

if we solve the second equation for 'x' we can:

let 'x' = y+7

substitute that expression for 'x' in the first equation to get:

y+7 + y = 47

2y = 40

y = 20

now find 'x':

x - 20 = 7

x = 27

HELP PLEASE! Step by step
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

6 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangle = length * width

Here, length and width are 12 cm and 3 cm, so

Area = 12*3 = 36 cm squared

Area of a square = side * side

36 = 6*6

Thus, side = 6 cm

4x-7y=2 -8+7y=-18 please help me hah im confused
ddd [48]
-8 + 7y = - 18
7y =10
y =10/7

Substitute y = 10/7 into first equation
4x - 7 (10/7)=2
4x - 10 =2
4x = 12
x = 3

Thus, the solution is x = 3 and y = 10/7

John bought 8 birds and 6 pigeons for $2400. If he had bought 1 more pigeon and 2 fewer birds, he would have paid $200 more. Wha
Alex

Answer: 1 pigeon is $320

1 love bird is $80

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost for 1 love bird be represented by x

Let the cost for 1 pigeon be represented by y.

Since John bought 8 birds and 6 pigeons for $2400. This will be:

8x + 6y = 2400 ...... i

If he had bought 1 more pigeon and 2 fewer birds, he would have paid $200 more. This will be:

6x + 7y = 2600 ...... ii

8x + 6y = 2400 ...... i

6x + 7y = 2600 ...... ii

Multiply equation i by 6

Multiply equation ii by 8

48x + 36y = 14400 ...... iii

48x + 56y = 20800 ...... iv

Subtract iii from iv

20y = 6400

y = 6400/20

y = 320

1 pigeon is $320

From equation i

8x + 6y = 2400

8x + 6(320) = 2400

8x + 1920 = 2400

8x = 2400 - 1920

8x = 480

x = 480/8

x = 60

1 love bird is $80
