To add the two expressions, we can write it as:
4.6x-3 + (-5.3x+9)
We can distribute the plus sign (which means just drop the parenthesis in this case):
4.6x-3-5.3x+9
Now, we can simplify by combining like terms:
-0.7x+6
The ribbon would be 9 yards long
For the answer to the question above, the answer is simple, and it is -1 (because even powers of an imaginary number or i will always give a -1).I hope my answer helped you with your problem. Have a nice day!
Let x = price of shoes
Then price of jacket would be x - 5.81
Combining the two would give you
x + x - 5.81 = 99.15
combining like terms simplifies to 2x - 5.81 = 99.15;
now adding 5.81 to both sides of the equal sign leaves
2x = 104.96
and finally, dividing both sides by 2, gives x = $52.48; which is the cost of the shoes. Recall, the cost of the jacket is 5.81 less than the cost of the shoes.
so, COST OF THE JACKET is 52.48 - 5.81 = $46.67
Answer:
120 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use systems of equations to solve this problem. Assuming j is Jim's weight and b is Bob's weight, the equations are:
j + b = 180
b - j = 1/2b
Let's get b - j = 1/2b into standard form (b, then j, then the equal sign, then the constant.)
Now we can solve using the process of elimination.
Now we know how much Bob weighs, for fun, let's find Jim's weight by substituting into the equation.
So Bob weighs 120 pounds and Jim weight 60 pounds.
Hope this helped!
