Alex spends 2/3 of his paycheck p on food and $3 lose change on coffee how much did he spend

The total amount Alex spent is $ 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The amount Alex spends on food = 2/3 of his paycheck

The amount Alex spends on coffee = $3

Therefore, we have;

Fraction of the paycheck spent on coffee = 1 - 2/3 = 1/3 of p

The  amount Alex spends on coffee = 1/3 of his paycheck

Therefore, we have;

1/3 × p = $3

p = 3 × $3 = $9

The total amount Alex spent = $ 9

The amount Alex spends on food = 2/3 × $9 = $6.

step-by-step explanation:

u = -(6/7)w

step-by-step explanation:

place all values with 'u' on one side of the equation.

4u + 8w = - 3u + 2w

4u + 3u = 2w - 8w

further simplify the equation by solving the addition and subtraction.

7u = - 6w

make 'u' the independent variable by placing its co-efficient on the right-hand side.

u = - (6/7)w
