Enter an equation for the word sentence. Use the variable n. The sum of a number and 4.4 is 8.1.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know we have to write an algebraic equation for the sentence - so "translate" the phrases of the sentence step-by-step. Let the unknown number be represented by the variable n, as the question states.

Start with the phrase "the sum of a number and 4.4." A sum comes as a result of adding numbers together - therefore the first part of the equation must be .

Next, the sentence says "is 8.1." The "is" indicates that the expression we just wrote equals something, so that number must be 8.1. Therefore, the whole equation must be .

mr. flanders’ class sold 47 doughnuts and   mr. rodriquez’s class sold 38 cartons of milk

step-by-step explanation:

let x be the number of doughnuts sold by mr. flanders’ class and y be the number of cartons sold by mr. rodriquez’s class.

1. together, the classes sold 85 items, then

x+y=85.

2. both classes earn earned $104.49 for their school. if doughnuts were sold for $1.35 each, then x doughnuts costed $1.35x. if cartons of milk were sold for $1.08 each, then y cartons costed $1.08y. hence,

1.35x+1.08y=104.49.

3. solve the system of two equations:
