Ok to figure it out you first find the common factor, which is 12
so the fractions become 8 3/12 and 10/12 then you subtract those 2,
8 3/12-10/12 is 7 5/12.
Hope That Helps!!!
Answer:
y($) = 405- 20x
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of short driveways = x
Number of long driveways = 9-x
Fee per long driveway = $45
Fee per short driveway= $25
Total amount = y
y ($) = 25x + 45 (9-x)
= 25x + 405 -45x
= 405- 20x
Problem 3: Let x = price of bag of pretzels Let y = price of box of granola bars
We have Lesley's purchase: 4x+2y=13.50
And Landon's: 1x+5y=17.55
We can use the elimination method. Let's negate Landon's purchase by multiplying by -1. -1x-5y=-17.55
We add this four times to Lesley's purchase to eliminate the x variable.
2y-20y=13.50-70.2
-18y=-56.7
y = $3.15 = Price of box of granola bars
Plug back into Landon's purchase to solve for pretzels.
x+5*3.15=17.55
x+15.75=17.55
x = $1.80 = price of bag of pretzels
Problem 4.
Let w = number of wood bats sold
Let m = number of metal bats sold
From sales information we have: w + m = 23
24w+30m=606
Substitution works well here. Solve for w in the first equation, w = 23 - m, and plug this into the second.
24*(23-m)+30m=606
552-24m+30m=606
6m=54
m=9 = number of metal bats sold
Therefore since w = 23-m, w = 23-9 = 14. 14 wooden bats were sold.
Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
Substitute y=2x in the first equation into the second.
The second equation then becomes;
x = -(2x)+6
x = -2x+6
Collectiing like terms, more -2x to the left,
x+2x =6
3x=6
x=
x= 2
Answer:
m=-12
Step-by-step explanation:
Not sure where the 8 comes from, but you would subtract 9 from the left side. The result is -12.
