Jeff as a collection of hockey cards. His brother Steve had 10 more cards than Jeff. Steve gave Jeff all of his cards. Jeff ended up with 992 cards. How many cards did Jeff start with?

491 cards

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Steve had 10 more cards than Jeff

Suppose Jeff has x cards

So, steve has x+10 cards

Steve handover his cards to Jeff

Now, Jeff has x+x+10=2x+10 cards

It must be equal to 992

Jeff started with 491 cards

add a pic of the graph, then ill edit this "answer" and solve it for you : 3

step-by-step explanation:

delaney would like to make a 5lb nut mixture that is 60% peanuts and 40% almonds.

she has several pounds of peanuts and several pounds of a mixture that is 20% peanuts and 80% almonds.

let 'p' represent the number of pounds of peanuts needed to make the new mixture, and  

let 'm' represent the number of pounds of the 80% almond-20% peanut mixture.

:

p + m = 5

therefore

m = (5-p)

write an equation based on the percent of peanuts

1p + .2m = .6(5)

replace m with (5-p)

p + .2(5-p) = .6(5)

p + 1 - .2p = 3

p - .2p = 3 - 1

.8p = 2

p = 2/.8

p = 2.5 lbs of peanuts required

then

5 - 2.5 = 2.5 lbs of the peanut/almond mixture required

:

a) what is the system that models this situation?

p + m = 5

1p + .2m = .6(5)
