Solve in simultaneou linear equation. The total cost of bag and an umbrella is Rs 2000.If the cost of the bag is Rs 1000 less five times the cost of the umbrella ,find the cost of each of these two items.

The bag costs 1500, while the umbrella cost 500

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of the bag be b and the cost of the umbrella be u

Total cost is;

b + u = 2,000 •••••(i)

From the second part of the question;

b = 5u-1000 ••••••(ii)

Substitute ii into i

5u-1000 + u = 2000

6u = 2000 + 1000

6u = 3000

u = 3000/6

u = 500

To get b, substitute the value of u into equation ii

b = 5(500)-1000

b = 2500-1000

b = 1500

3. (5x + 1) - (-10x + 6)

simplify the answer choice. combine like terms. remember to distribute the negative to the terms inside the second parenthesis. also remember that two negatives = one positive, and one of each sign = negative.

- (-10x + 6) = + 10x - 6

simplify. combine like terms:

5x + 1 + 10x - 6

5x + 10x + 1 - 6

15x - 5

∴ it is your answer
