Answer 5

Decide what unknown numbers are asked for.
Find the number of deluxe staterooms for each of the ships

Answer 6

28,29,881

Answer 7

How?

Answer 8

I still dont get this

Answer 9

Let P = the number of rooms on the Pacific,

since The Carribean Paradise has 28 more deluxe staterooms than the Pacific Paradise.

Then C = 28 + P.

Answer 10

ok

Answer 11

The Mediterranean Paradise has 29 fewer deluxe staterooms than four times the number of deluxe staterooms on the Pacific Paradise.

M =4P - 29

Answer 12

k

Answer 13

P, C, M

P = the number of rooms on the Pacific
C = 28 + P
M =4P - 29

Answer 14

ok

Answer 15

Step 3 Reread the problem and write an equation that represents relations among the numbers in the problem.

Answer 16

P + C + M = 881
if the total number of deluxe staterooms for the three ships is 881.

Answer 17

3+28+4p-29=881

Answer 18

Substitute into P + C + M = 881
the three:
P = the number of rooms on the Pacific
C = 28 + P
M =4P - 29

Answer 19

P + C + M = 881
P +(28 + P) + (4P -29) = 881

Answer 20

so, p+(28+p)+(4p-29)=881 = 147

Answer 21

sorry i got confuse with the problem. didnt mean too put 147

Answer 22

Step 4 Solve the equation and find the unknowns asked for.

Answer 23

ok. how do i find the unknow answer for
The Pacific Paradise has______deluxe staterooms
The Caribbean Paradise has____deluxe
The mediterranean Paradise has___deluxe staterooms

Answer 24

Solve the equation:
p+(28+p)+(4p-29)=881 for p= the number of rooms on the Pacific

Answer 25

the number of rooms on the ship is 881

Answer 26

Solve the equation:
p+(28+p)+(4p-29)=881 for p

Answer 27

p=147

Answer 28

Very good :-)

Answer 29

What are the answers for all three. p= 147
The Pacific Paradise has______deluxe staterooms
The Caribbean Paradise has____deluxe
The mediterranean Paradise has___deluxe staterooms

Answer 30

So now you know how many rooms are on the Pacific= 147rooms.

To find the others substitute this value into:
C = 28 + P
M =4P - 29

Answer 31

c= 28+P=147

Answer 32

im still confuse a little.

Answer 33

The Pacific Paradise has______deluxe staterooms
The Caribbean Paradise has____deluxe
The mediterranean Paradise has___deluxe staterooms

Answer 34

Sub p=147 into c= 28+p
