Question

Can you help me solve this problem?
700(1000) + 1200R=1,000,000

Answer 1

Are we solving for "R"?

Answer 2

Yerp

Answer 3

Ok, what do you think you should do first?

Answer 4

Wait I think I know how to do it haha

Answer 5

If you get an answer, you can check it against mine.

Answer 6

Would R be 250?

Answer 7

Close, but not quite.

Answer 8

Okay so where do I start with solving this problem?

Answer 9

You need to multiply the 700 by the 1000, what do you get?

Answer 10

I did that and got 700,000

Answer 11

Now, subtract that from the right side.

Answer 12

I did that when I did it the first time and got 300,000

Answer 13

Oh my goodness, you were correct, I accidentally had an extra zero in one of my steps D:

You divide that by 1200 and get 250. My bad :(

Answer 14

Haha its cool

Answer 15

Thanks for helping meh

Answer 16

I have a few more I need help working through if you wanna help me with them

Answer 17

:)

Answer 18

Sure, why not :)

Answer 19

Do you mind if I just put them in the comments right here?

Answer 20

Nope, feel free :)

Answer 21

Its not letting me paste the equation into the comments so Im going to attach a file to it if that's cool with you

Answer 22

Sure.

Answer 23

There you go

Answer 24

Easier way yes @robtobey but we already found then answer. :) Even through my blunders :P

Answer 25

^
XD

Answer 26

What am I looking at here?

Answer 27

3 double equation word problems

Answer 28

I don't know where to begin with these problems

Answer 29

Its Algebra 1 by the way

Answer 30

I would say that you need to set P=62.10 and solve for x.

Answer 31

Mkay give me a minute

Answer 32

Okay Im trying to do it and Im getting lost haha can we go through it step by step on what I have to do?

Answer 33

Yep :)

Answer 34

Thx <3

Answer 35

Youre the best

Answer 36

We have,

\(P=(20+0.5x)+0.15(20+0.5x)\)

The most we can spend is 62.10, so we set P equal to this,

\(62.10=(20+0.5x)+0.15(20+0.5x)\)

Follow so far?

Answer 37

Yep

Answer 38

Ok, we would want to distribute on the right side.

\(0.15(20+0.5x)=3+.075x\)

So now we have,

\(62.10=20+0.5x+3+.075x\)

Still follow?

Answer 39

Im following

Answer 40

Would we then combine like terms?

Answer 41

Yes we would! :D

Answer 42

Woohoo Im getting it haha

Answer 43

So, what would we have if we combine like terms? :D

Answer 44

Would it be 62.10= 23+ 1.25?

Answer 45

Nope, it is .5x+.075x right?

Answer 46

Oops haha

Answer 47

Im sorry

Answer 48

No need to be sorry :)
Happens to the best of us, super simple mistake to make! :D

So what would the equation look like now?

Answer 49

Wait what about the 20 and 3?

Answer 50

20+3=?

Answer 51

23
So the problem would look like this
62.10= 23+.5x+.75x?

Answer 52

62.10=23+.575x

Answer 53

Thx for the medal :) How do I give u one?

Answer 54

Oh okay

Answer 55

You just click best response by a reply of mine, blue button.

Answer 56

There u go <3

Answer 57

:D thank you ♥

Answer 58

Okay so what do we do next in this problem?

Answer 59

We would need to get constants on one side, and terms with variables on the other. How would we do this?

Answer 60

Would we subtract 23 from 62.10?

Answer 61

Indeed we would!

Answer 62

Finally I get it right haha
So the answer after subtracting it would be 39.1?

Answer 63

Yep, we would now have,

39.7=0.575x

What would we do to get x by itself?

Answer 64

We would divide 39.1 by 0.575?

Answer 65

Yep, what do you get?

Answer 66

68?

Answer 67

There we have it!! :D

Answer 68

So x=68?

Answer 69

Yep, she can buy 68 pages.
