Okie is a low western lowland gorilla living at the frankline park zoo near boston, ma. he loves to fingerpaint. many of his paintings have been sold because their colors are so interesting. one painting was sold for 5 times the amount of a second and a third was sold for $1500. if the total sale was for $13,500 how much did the most expensive painting sell for?

define a variable then write and solve an equation to solve the problem.
remember to write your answer as a complete sentence

13500-1500= 12000/5=2400

12000-2400= 9600

$9600 most expensive painting

x + y = 90 5x – 10y = 90 90 – 10y = 5x 90 + 10y = 5x

step-by-step explanation:

last month maria hiked the 5-mile mountain trail a number of times and she hiked the 10-mile canal trail several times. let x represent the number of times she hiked the 5-mile trail, and let y represent the number of times she hiked the 10-mile trail. if she hiked a total of 90 miles, which equation can be used to find the number of times maria hiked each trail? x + y = 90 5x – 10y = 90 90 – 10y = 5x 90 + 10y = 5x
