Find the value of x. x-1/4x-7 = 2 x-1/4x = 9 (4x-x)/4 = 9 3x = 36 x = 12 6.The total price of 24 books is $405. Some of them are sold at $15 and others at $20. Find the number of books that sold at $15 each. Let x and y be the number of books which sold at $15 and $20 x + y = 24 -------------(1) 15x + 20y = 405 ---------(2) From (2), y = (405 - 15x)/20---------(3) Sub (3) into (1), x + (405-15x)/20 = 24 (405-15x)/20 = 24 – x 405-15x = 480-20x 5x = 75 x = 15 ∴ the number of books that sold at $15 are 15. 7.York has $72. Sally has $12. In order to let sally have 3 times the amount of York,how much should York give to Sally? Let $x be the amount that York should give to Sally. Let $y be the amount of York after give x to Sally. 72-x = y----------- (1) 12+x = 3y----------(2) Sub (1) into (2), 12+x = 3(72-x) 12+x = 216-3x 4x = 204 x = 51 ∴ York should give $51 to Sally. 8.A sum of money is planned to be evenly shared among 10 persons. Due to the absence of 2 person, each person persent can get $30 more. Find the sum of money. Let the sum of money be x. x/10+30 = x/8 (x+300)/10 = x/8 8x+2400 = 10x 2x = 2400 x = 1200 ∴the sum of money is $1200. 9. There are 42 students in S1A. The number of boys is 4/3 times of girls. Find the respective number of boys and girls there. Let the number of girls and boys be x and 4/3x x + 4/3x = 42 (3x+4x)3 = 42 7x = 126 x = 18 4/3x = 4/3(18) = 72/3 = 24 ∴The number of girls are 18. The number of buys are 24. 10.72 marbles are divided into two groups. 7 times the number of marbles in the smaller group in equal to 5 times that in the larger group. Find the number of marbles in the smaller group. Let x and y be the number of marbles in the the smaller group and large group. x + y = 72---------- (1) 7x = 5y----------- (2) From (1), x = 72-y----------- (3) Sub (3) into (2), 7(72-y) = 5y 504-7y = 5y 12y = 504 y = 42----------- (4) Sub (4) into (1), x + 42 = 72 x = 30 ∴ the number of marbles in the the smaller group and large group are 30 and 42. 11.The total age of Hebrew and his son is 51. 3 years ago,Hebrew is 8 times as old as his son. Find the current age of Hebrew's son. Let x and y be the age of Hebrew and his son. x + y = 51----------- (1) x-3 = 8(y-3)----------- (2) From (1), x = 51-y----------- (3) Sub (3) into (2) 51-y-3 = 8(y-3) 48-y = 8y-24 9y = 72 y = 8----------- (4) Sub (4) into (1) x+8 = 51 x = 43 ∴ the age of Hebrew is 43. the age of his son is 8. 12.Concert tickets in $400, $200 and $100 each are available for sale. The number of $200 tickets sold is 4 times as many as that of $ 400 tickets. The number of $100 tickets sold is 380 more than that of $200 tickets. If the total income from the sale is $86000, how many $400 tickets are sold? Let x ,y and z be the number of $400, $200 and $100 tickets are sold. y = 4x----------- (1) z = y+380----------- (2) 400x+200y+100z = 86000----------- (3) From (1), y = 4x y/4 = x ----------- (4) Sub (2) and (4) into (3) 400(y/4)+200y+ 100(y+380) = 86000 100y + 200y +100y + 38000 = 86000 400y = 48000 y = 120----------- (5) Sub (5) into (1), 120 = 4x x = 30 ∴The number of $400 tickets sold is 30. |
