1 dozen = 12
12 x 2 = 24
8/3 = x/24
3x=192
x=64
two dozen socks would cost $64
Answer:
CODEINE
Step-by-step explanation:
let the two numbers be x and y
From the first sentence,
xy=24
x+y=10
Then make y in equation 2 the subject of the formular and substitute in equation 1
x+y=10
y=10-x
substituting in equation 2
x(10-x)=24
open the bracket
10x-x^2=24
=-x^2+10x=24
Transfer the constant to the left hand side
=-x^2+10x-24=0
Then factorise completely

Hi there!
To estimate, we can round:
591.3 is approximately 600
29 is approximately 30
Now, we divide:
600 / 30 = 20
Hope this helps!
