Answer:
Jelly beans: $6 for 1 kg
Gummy worms: $7 for 1 kg
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, we need to find the cost of 1kg of jelly beans and gummy worms.
To do this, make equations for both scenarios and solve:
2j + 2g = 26
2j + 3g = 33
Turn the bottom equation negative, as we will first solve for gummy worms (g).
2j + 2g = 26
-2j - 3g = -33
Solve:
-g = -7
Divide both sides by -1.
g = 7
We now know that gummy worms cost $7 for 1 kg
To solve for jellybeans (j), plug in 7 to g in one of the equations and solve:
2j + 2(7) = 26
2j + 14 = 26
Subtract 14 from both sides.
2j = 12
Divide both sides by 2.
j = 6
Jellybeans cost $6 for 1 kg.
Check answer by plugging in values to one of the equations:
2(6) + 2(7) = 26
12 + 14 = 26
26 = 26
Answer: 8 movies
12 + 1.50x = 3x
Move the variables to one side
12 = 1.50x
Isolate x
8 = x
Check:
3(8)= 24
12.00 + 1.50(8) = 24
4 x (3+6) = 12 + 24 ---->Distributive
3 + ( 8 + 2) = 3 + (2 + 8) ---> Commutative
6 x (7 x 3 ) = (6 x 7 ) x 3 --->Associative
answer
27/20
Step-by-step explanation:
3/5+3/4
12+15= 27
lcm= 20
