Lesson #27 answers

In-class exercise answers:

1).
    Q + N = 20
    25Q + 5N = 480
    N = 20 - Q
    25Q + 5(20 - Q) = 480
    25Q + 100 - 5Q = 480
    20Q = 380
    Q = 19 quarters
2).
    T + F = 12
    3T + 5F = 44
    F = 12 - T
    3T + 5(12 - T) = 44
    3T + 60 - 5T = 44
    -2T = -16
    T = 8 3-petal flowers
3).
    T + C = 150
    10T + 3C = 660
    C = 150 - T
    10T + 3(150 - T) = 660
    10T + 450 - 3T = 660
    7T = 210
    T = 30 tables
4).
    B + T = 17
    2B + 3T = 42
    T = 17 - B
    2B + 3(17 - B) = 42
    2B + 51 - 3B = 42
    -B = -9
    B = 9 bicycles

Homework answers:

1).
    N + U = 51
    U = 2N
    U = 51 - N
    51 - N = 2N
    51 = 3N
    N = 17 new cars
2).
    D + B = 32
    D + 2B = 48
    D = 32 - B
    32 - B + 2B = 48
    B = 16 bactrian camels
3).
    C + W = 120
    C = 7W
    W = 120 - C
    C = 7(120 - C)
    C = 840 - 7C
    8C = 840
    C = 105 correct answers
4).
    S + F = 32
    6S + 4F = 152
    F = 32 - S
    6S + 4(32 - S) = 152
    6S + 128 - 4S = 152
    2S = 24
    S = 12 tables for 6
