Two brothers each purchase a new pair of hiking boots and two canteens. The hiking
boots cost $34.00 each. The total of their purchase was $98.00.
a. Define a variable:
b. Write an equation:
c. Solve:

2(34) + 2c = 98

Step-by-step explanation:

C = cost of one canteen

2 pair of boots at $ 34 each plus 2 canteens at (c) each totals $98.

2(34) + 2c = 98

68 +2c = 98. Subtract 68 from both sides. 68 - 68 +2c = 98 -68

2c = 30. Divide both sides by 2.

2c/2 = 30/2

c = 15 so each canteen costs $15

Check: 2 ($34) + 2 ($15) = $98

$68 + $30 = $98

$98 = $98

2C = 98

40% off the regular price is the correct answer.

step-by-step explanation:

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x
