Answer:
First city: $5,500
Second city: $5,000
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's define x as the hotel price in the first city and y the hotel price in the second city. We can start with this equation:
y = x - 500 (The hotel before tax in the 2nd city was $500 lower than in the 1st.)
Then we can say
0.065x + 0.045y = 582.50 (the sum of the tax amounts were $582.50)
We place the value of y from the first equation in the second equation:
0.065x + 0.045 (x - 500) = 582.50
0.065x + 0.045x - 22.50 = 582.50 (simplifying and adding 22.5 on each side)...
0.11x = 605
x = 5,500
The cost of the first hotel was $5,500
Thus, the cost of the second hotel was $5,000 (x - 500)
Step-by-step explanation:
the numbers of the yellow and white counters
= 288- 38 = 250.
the ratio of yellow to white = 1:4
so,
the numbers of the yellow counters =
1/(1+4) × 250 =1/5 ×250 = 50
the numbers of the white counters =
4/(1+4) ×250 = 4/5 ×250 = 200
and the numbers of the red counters = 38
Answer:
23 over 15 or 1.533
Step-by-step explanation:
Group like terms:
1+(3/5+-1/15)
Find LCD:
1+9/15+-1/15
Combine numerators:
15/15+8/15
And you get 23/15
Simplified:1 8/15
Decimal: 1.533
-2x + 3 > 3(2x - 1)
the inequality sign > means 'greater than'.
First simplify the right side of the equation by distributing the 3 over the parentheses:-
-2x + 3 > 6x - 3
Now add -6x to both sides of the inequality which gives us
-8x + 3 > -3
Adding -3 to both sides we have
-8x > -6
The next step is to divide both sides by -8 so x is isolated on the left side and this gives us the solution. However there is a rule with inequalities that if you divide the variable term by a negative the inequality is flipped. So in this case , greater that (>) becomes less than (<):-
-8x / -8 < -6/-8
x < 3/4 is your answer.
The answer would be 9. 9x3=27 and 9x4=36. Although 3 fits into both, 9 is the BIGGER number that also fits into both of the numbers shown in the problem.
