Line the decimal points up. Then add like you normally would, but put down the decimal directly where you have it lined up.
Answer: the cost of each bush is $15
the cost of each flower is $2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the cost of each bush.
Let y represent the cost of each flower.
Portia bought 12 bushes and 30 flowers for $240 to plant in her yard. This is expressed as
12x + 30y = 240- - - - - - - - - - -1
Later, she realized she did not have enough plants and bought 7 more bushes and 10 more flowers for $125. This is expressed as
7x + 10y = 125- - - - - - - - - - -2
Multiplying equation 1 by 7 and equation 2 by 12, it becomes
84x + 210y = 1680
84x + 120y = 1500
Subtracting, it becomes
90y = 180
y = 180/90
y = 2
Substituting y = 2 into equation 1, it becomes
12x + 30 × 2 = 240
12x + 60 = 240
12x = 240 - 60 = 180
x = 180/12
x = 15
If the insurance pays $2,000, but the test itself cost $2,750, you simply subtract.
$2,750-$2,000= $750
Therefore Bobby has to pay $750
Not 100% sure but I think that it is 14.6
The formula for finding the area of an equilateral triangle is
square root of 3 * (a^2/2)
a is the side length so in this case is 6
square root of 3 * (18)
the area is about 15.6
