Step-by-step explanation:
We can create equations to solve this.
2.50p + 1.50m = 29.50
p + m = 15
Solve for a variable in the 2nd equation and use the substitution method to solve.
p + m = 15
Subtract p to both sides:
m = -p + 15
Plug in -p + 15 for m in the first equation.
2.50p + 1.50(-p + 15) = 29.50
Distribute:
2.50p - 1.50p + 22.50 = 29.50
Combine like terms:
p + 22.50 = 29.50
Subtract 22.50 to both sides:
p = 7
Now plug this into any of the two equations and solve for the other variable.
p + m = 15
7 + m = 15
Subtract 7 to both sides:
m = 8
So he purchased 7 pineapples and 8 mangos.
Here, I'll do the first one for you.
When they are talking about a number, use "x".
Since it says twice a number, you say 2x. Or 3x for three times the number
2x+12=3x-31
Then use algebra to find x. Get the numbers on one side and all the x's on the other.
2x+12+31=3x-31+31
2x+43-2x=3x-2x
x=43
Now do the rest on your own!
Answer:
x = -7
Step-by-step explanation:
you have to distribute the 2 to what is in the parenthesis, then you get left with 2x+18=4 so subtract the 18 from both sides leaving you with 2x=-14 so you divide both by 2 leaving you with x=-7.
